Whisky set

The creator of this set wasn't me. It was a birthday present one year from a friend of mine, Christine Müller, who has since passed away. By making this 'whisky set', she combined my interest in creating chess sets with our mutual interest in whisky.

The pieces consisted of either miniature bottles of whisky, or the wee boxes they came in, topped with gold or silver painted potpourri; pawns were whisky bottle caps, gold-coloured or painted silver. The board was painted with gold and black squares, and varnished to high gloss.

Yes, all past tense .... I have no idea what happened to the set ... another one that didn't make it through repeated house moves ... I do hope I drunk the whisky, though!
