Bottle #10: Disaronno Amaretto

Bottle #10: Disaronno Amaretto

Bottle #10 is Disarrono Amaretto Originale. The order of those words turned out to matter a lot when I was trying to figure out when this bottle came from. These days if you buy a bottle of Disarrono, it only mentions the word amaretto on the back. Which is kind of...

Reveal Video #3

Reveal Video #3

This set of bottles turned out to be surprisingly thematic, despite my grabbing the bottles completely at random from two different boxes! Have a story or know anything about these bottles? Leave a comment!

Bottle #9: Wild Turkey Liqueur

Bottle #9: Wild Turkey Liqueur

Tiny bottle #9 is Wild Turkey Liqueur, complete with the original box. This is one of the bottles that I saw on that first day my dad brought me the bins. It’s also one of the bottles that really inspired me to start this project! At the time, I was reading Girly...

Bottle #8: Italian Swiss Colony Tipo

Bottle #8: Italian Swiss Colony Tipo

This tiny bottle of wine is definitely one of the most interesting bottles I’ve found so far. I had done a tiny bit of research on it prior to the reveal video, and actually got a few things wrong. But now that I’ve had time to dig into it in depth – wow, what a...

Bottle #7: Martell Cognac

Bottle #7: Martell Cognac

This tiny bottle of Martell Cognac comes from the 1970s, which I was able to figure out thanks to the extraordinarily comprehensive Cognac-ton website. Also, the fact that it’s labeled 70 proof, which is a quirk of pre-1980’s UK law that I explained in my post about...

Bottle #6: Jack Daniel’s Old No 7

Bottle #6: Jack Daniel’s Old No 7

Bottle #6 is a tiny bottle of Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee whiskey with a black label. It looks a lot like a modern bottle of Jack Daniel’s, although it’s a little hard to tell, because it’s covered in a fine coating of what looks like dust, but I’m pretty sure...

Bottle #5: Le Grand Amour

Sometimes I can find a lot about a bottle. And sometimes, almost nothing. This is one of those times.Le Grande Amour is, according to the label, a liqueur of Cognac and almonds, produced and made in France by the company Isidore, which is located in Gemozac. The back...

Bottle #4: Black Bottle Scotch Whisky

Bottle #4: Black Bottle Scotch Whisky

This tiny bottle of Black Bottle Scotch Whisky was definitely made some time between 1976 and 1979. Unlike many of the bottles where it’s hard to pinpoint a general time period, let alone such a specific range of years, this one came with some clues.You know how...

Bottle #3: Hot Shot Tropical Fruit Schnapps

Bottle #3: Hot Shot Tropical Fruit Schnapps

Sometimes the hunt is much more interesting than what’s in the bottle. Case in point: Hot Shot Tropical Fruit Schnapps. It is introduced to the market in 1987, presumably in an attempt to grab market share from Peachtree Schnapp’s. Peachtree Schnapps was introduced in...
