Bonjour,j’ai cette bouteille de vsop en magnum,je n’arrive pas à trouver d’information sur cette bouteille.Est-ce un essai??
Where did you buy it? What is on the neck?
I haven’t seen it before. It looks a bit like the 70cl NBA bottle (2023). I am away the next week for a short holiday, but I will try to find more information when I am back.
Où l’avez-vous acheté ? Qu’y a-t-il sur le cou ?
Je ne l’ai jamais vu auparavant. Il ressemble un peu à la bouteille NBA de 70cl (2023). Je suis absent la semaine prochaine pour de courtes vacances, mais j’essaierai de trouver plus d’informations à mon retour.
Je l’ai acheté dans une vente aux enchères.
sous la bouteille il y a marqué
JAs HENNESSY & co 1.5l
Curieusement dans le lot il y avait deux bouteilles une pleine l’autre vide mais avec bouchon et certie je vous envoie la photo des deux bouteilles
Hi,
I’ve tried to find more information, but couldn’t find anything. Must have been a really small edition, maybe a special occasion. Did you buy it at a French auction?
Could you send me some bigger pictures? Of the whole bottle, of the back and of the bottom? That would be really nice.
Bonjour,
J’ai essayé de trouver plus d’informations, mais je n’ai rien trouvé. Il doit s’agir d’une édition très limitée, peut-être une occasion spéciale. L’avez-vous acheté lors d’une vente aux enchères en France ?
Pourriez-vous m’envoyer des photos plus grandes ? De la bouteille entière, de l’arrière et du fond ? Ce serait vraiment bien.
Bonjour,oui je l’ai acheté en france,je vous envoie une photo du fond de la bouteille, je ne peux malheureusement pas vous envoyer des photo plus grandes je dépasse les 1MB .Je suis obligé de réduire les photos pour pouvoir vous les envoyé.La bouteille est sérigraphiée ce n’est pas une étiquette
Bonne journée et merci pour la photo. Désolé, j’aurais peut-être dû penser immédiatement à vous donner mon adresse email pour faciliter l’envoi de photos. Je le ferai toujours.
Salutations,
