know when. It sold this time for US$27.95.
Seagram’s Ancient Bottle Straight Rye Whiskey
has a 1931 US tax stamp. US$34 bought it.
From Canada we
head to South
America. Whisky
Ancap is a true
Uruguay whisky. I
can tell you that it is
115mm (4½”) tall and
failed to sell for a €7
minimum bid.
Another bottle from
Uruguay that did not sell (also for a €7 asking price) was
Old Times Special. This is a blended Whisky made in
Uruguay from Scotch malt. I can tell you that it is 102mm
(4”) tall but know nothing else.
Immediately south of Uruguay is Argentina.
There are lots of Argentinian whiskies and
lots more Scotches bottled in Argentina.
Both these bottles fetched a very
disappointing US$3.49. The Breeders
Choice El Elegido Los Criadores Whisky is
50cms (unusual size equalling 50ml) at
43%. Maclin Viejo Whisky Old Whisky is
the other Argentinian I have to show you
but I have no more information.
Finally we head back north and across the Atlantic to
Germany. Both the Glen Blue and Glen Mouse are pure
malt whiskies and both are 40ml 40%vol. They were made
by Robert Fleischmann. Both sold for the same price also,
€19.51.
I will try to bring you some whiskies from more countries in
a future miNiZ.
