I can understand your keeping your corks/tops of scotch bottles especially with the interesting foil and assorted embossing on some of the cork tops often with the insignia of the distillery. It's also a bit of a personal historical record of the bottles you've been through and the regions they represent. Finding the 3 miniature bottles was a bonus.

| I've never collected corks but if storing them in a whidky box magically turns them into miniatures then I'm starting straight away .. |

| Keeping corks can also be practical - one of my bottles of Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix had a very loose fitting cork, so it was a good thing I had a spare to replace it with. |
