As this was the closest thread i could find to miniature bottles i thought i'd bump this thread as opposed to starting a pointless new one that happens so often around here.

I found these in an antique store in Florida while travelling in the U.S. last month.

The Lambs and Lemon Hart rum bottles, although the labels look aged, i'm sure are not really old at all but the Chartreuse bottle looks like it could be. After doing an internet search all i could find out about the Wray & Nephew was the following labels and a taster commenting that it reminded him of Drambuie.

It appears it could still be available in Jamaica and this modern looking label lends weight to that.

My mini bottle looks like it might be from the same era as this bottle and advertisment, although it does not have a screw down cap. It has a cap similar to a can of fish or cat food, where you lift up a ring and pull the entire cap upwards.

Anybody seen or tried this before?
