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.
