What are whisky miniatures used for?
Gifts, samples and promotions, and in places like hotel minibars, trains and planes where opening a full bottle isn’t practical. They are also sold in sets for comparing different whiskies.
What bottle sizes can whisky be sold in the UK?
Pre-packed spirits from 100ml to 2 litres must be one of these sizes: 10cl, 20cl, 35cl, 50cl, 70cl, 1 litre, 1.5 litres, 1.75 litres or 2 litres. Containers under 100ml, such as 5cl miniatures, and over 2 litres are not restricted to that list.
Does whisky keep better in a smaller bottle?
Once opened, yes. Less air in the bottle means less oxidation, so pouring a half-empty bottle into smaller ones slows the change. In Whiskipedia’s year-long test, whisky in full, wax-sealed 5cl bottles was unchanged after 12 months, and kept better than bottles protected with inert gas or a vacuum pump.
