Ah, the noble tiny liquor bottle! Known in more formal circles as "-bottles" or "minis," and affectionately by travelers as "airplane bottles," these petite powerhouses are the patron saints of indecisive drinkers and ambitious crafters.
Based on the evidence, these little guys are typically 50 ml, which is just enough for a generous shot or to sample a spirit before you commit to its much larger, more intimidating parent bottle. It seems you can find just about any type of spirit you can dream of shrunken down to this convenient size.
The world of miniatures is vast and surprisingly diverse. We're talking about a complete liquor cabinet in dollhouse form. You can find a global tour of whiskies, from American Bourbon and Rye to Scotch, Japanese, and Irish varieties. If whiskey isn't your jam, fear not. There are also tiny versions of tequila, rum, gin, vodka, cognac, and brandy. Essentially, if it exists in a big bottle, there's a good chance it has a cute little sibling running around. They are perfect for party favors, taste-testing flights, or for when you just need a thimbleful of courage.
