It seems I'm on a gin- rant...I posted two nice gin bottles from our collection last week....The W. S. C. Clubhouse Gin & the Relyea & Carter & Co. Royal Schiedam Schnapps.... gin made from Juniper berries & the Schnapps made from some kind of fermented fruit...Peach would be my fave.....two different products, very similar bottles.
Today's post features another. This bottle is a very different shade of green & “sparkles like a diamond in the wind†(a quote borrowed from Jeff Wichman). Again this is an Eastern bottled liquor shipped West for the growing Western market. The above advertisement is taken from an 1860's newspaper.
Personally....I think most of the gins ( there are a million of them) & Schnapps are grossly overlooked by the bottle community. I think they are still affordable ~ although the better bottles are going through the roof............ Gotta love those gins.
