My Tiny Bottles: Inca Pisco - History in Dusty Mini Liquor Bottles

Tracking down the story of this tiny bottle of Inca Pisco from Peru took me to San Francisco, the home of the most famous Pisco cocktail of all - Pisco Punch. Learn all about what made it so punchy, and it's connection with this absolutely gorgeous black figurine bottle.

i found a small bottle of inca pisco today at an antique centre in sheffield england... i was researching it and this video popped up which helped a lot... my bottle is marked 9.50 on the bottom and its label reads bottled by casa ranuzzi lima peru exclusively for and imported by james c sussex ltd detroit michigan 90 proof 1.6 onz... it's black but of a different design to the one you feature...looks like a mother with a child on her back... the one i have is unopened with the liquid still inside... it cost me 2.63 us dollars to buy which i thought was fairly reasonable... i've added my subscription to your channel.

@@eodnhoj8387 nice find! Are you a mini bottle collector? Or did you just think it was interesting?

[@eodnhoj8387]

@@mytinybottles no i'm not specifically a mini bottle collector but yes my watchword is anything old or interesting especially if the object is worth far more than i've had to pay for it...old postcards is my specialist field...bottlewise i recently found a couple of nineteenth century hiram 'codd' bottles for mineral water which i find very interesting and i'm currently communicating with a local museum about...generally speaking it seems to me that most old bottles are of little financial value unless they're say full of old scotch whisky or if empty only really rare early examples in good condition... i had a bunch of my father's old mini bottles of spirits but i decided to auction them off about ten years ago when i found myself a little cash- strapped... they sold quite well.

@@eodnhoj8387 Yeah, the thing about mini bottles is that even the rarest ones aren't worth that much money, which is why I decided to just do this project! You have to find the person who really want a particular bottle to get the highest value. I'm glad you you were able to make some money off your father's.

Never tasted this stuff. But I'd love a bottle to sit near my tiki mugs!

@@Yayojayoful right? You can see why it would have been such a collector's item. You can still find bottles for sale online if you want one, especially the minis.
