Dear Adrian,

      I respect your style of collecting.
Best,
Joey


I was trying to abide by my New Year resolution to buy better bottles with the feeling that apart from IP bottles it would mean older ones.

I had this one on a watch list for some time and every time I looked at it it's appeal never faded and as there were a few people also watching it I thought I better get in before they did. Sorry Charll.

To me it's about artistry and craftsmanship and if that's there in a modern bottle that isn't trying to pretend it's something it isn't then I'll be happy to spend my money.

Regards, Adrian.
