 |
|
Hi, i've just come across a Blair Athol flora fauna miniature, and wondered if anybody knew how many others there are in the miniatures size? I've done a quick google search to no avail. As i've got the 70cl set of 26, i wondered if it would be worthwhile looking out for the rest of the 5cl set.
Many thanks
Jamie |

| Could it just be only blair athol that does it then? Its exactly the same label as my 70cl bottle, just in 5cl format. I'll try and post a photo of it when i get home from work. |

I've seen Blair Athol, Aberfeldy and Clynelish Flora & Fauna miniatures on Ebay within the last year - they don't seem to fetch massive prices (Clynelish the most). I do like the labels though.
If you have the full set of 70cl bottles that's fantastic - The Speyburn sold at McTears on Wednesday for £580! |

| Is the Flora and Fauna series discontinued- a question I surely should know the answer to! |

Yes...some time in the 90's, many are available still - Retail or on Auction sites. |

I have a few bottles of the Mortlach stashed away for when it is no longer available at a decent price. |

That is a good idea to stash some away, i do enjoy it and buy an bottle for drinking now and again but i guess the stock will run out eventually.
I wish Diageo would release a permanent bottling from Mortlach it definitely deserves a bigger audience. |
