NZ, Cover bottles Etc.

It’s our policy to put a new New Zealand bottle on the cover but if there aren’t any new
ones (that we know of) then we have to show you something else. Hopefully you will like
the desk set. This was made by President Palace and contains Royal Caprice XO
Cognac. The magnifying glass, letter opener and pen each contain 30ml. My thanks to
Dmitry Fedorov from Russia for sending me this. Dmitry has his own web site,
http://www.minicognac.ru, which is well worth a visit. The only other President Palace
bottle that I know of is a very realistic looking glass penis, which also contains Cognac.
Maybe I will do an X-rated version of miNiZ some day!

These 70ml Scorpion
Vodka were on sale in
Fenwicks, a department
store in Newcastle, UK.
The scorpions are farm
raised and are edible (but
not be me thanks!). I
would have bought one
but MAF may have
confiscated it on the way
back into NZ, and it was
£15!

The two bottles on the right and the one below were ones
that caught my eye when looking on Ebay for other bottles.
Miniature Araks are extremely rare. The blue glass Crystal
Arak comes from Jordan. Hands up any of you who have
seen a single malt whisky from Taiwan before? Ka Va Lan
is the only one I have ever seen.

It’s a Dogs Life is from
Jim Beam and is said to
be a mini. Can anyone
confirm the size?

In miNiZ84 we had an
article by Ken Chin on
Welsh Whisky where we
showed three Swn-Y-Mor
rugby balls. The ball on
the left is a variation
found by Ian Butcher in
the shop at the local tip –
for $3! Shame that Ian is
now so poor that he has to shop at the local tip. Donations
welcome I’m sure!
