Aldunie Dufftown 1992 Glenscoma  / Kininvie

An incredibly rare and interesting bottle from Germany that contains teaspooned Kininvie.

(So with presumably a drop of Glenfiddich or Balvenie added to the cask to prevent the bottlers using the Kininvie name).

This also means it's technically a Speyside blended malt.

You don't see very many of these!

Cask 1746 yielded 335 bottles.

Ape Cognac 3-Star 15cl 1930/40s

A \"Cognac\" bottled by Distilleria APE, Milano.

This could be a Cognac as we use the word today, though more likely it is an Italian 'cognac' which predates the protection of the term.

Arcense Stoombierbrouwerij

A very old bottle of dutch beer from Arcense Stoombierbrouwerij, the predecessor to Hertog Jan.

This 75cl stoneware bottle is certainly from 1990's, prior to the brewery being sold to Inbev, and is therefore only being sold as a collectible item. We do not recommend drinking this.
