Either that's the same bottle or they managed to find two of these maybe-existent bottles with the (what appear to be) identical creases on the label.

Would also be pretty wild if the two maybe-existent bottles were opened on the same type of table with the same type of patio chair in the background. The tag of Denmark in one photo and the ‘Tak’ (thanks in Danish) yields the thought that this is indeed the same bottle. A little internet sleuthing haha

Y’all are more observant that I am. Thanks detectives

Still curious if that is a legit 2009 375ml vig.

Yeah but it seems way more likely for it to be legit if there's not suddenly a bunch of them being opened all at once.

Yeah I’m also curious. I just recently picked up an ‘06 Iris 375 and I haven’t seen anything online to indicate that they existed previously. Idk.

Sure, I suppose. I did a quick search on untappd and couldn’t find any other 375ml photos or reviews.

 

[skrip]

interesting for sure! definitely curious if there actually was a 375ml bottling of '09 Vig

Dear god was it stored buried in someone's back yard?

Yeah not in the best shape. I didn’t get a very clear story from the source I got it from, something about a damp basement storage unit. I got this and a number of other bottles and got to try a bunch of bottles from the same cellar which I thought were awesome so I was comfortable taking the risk. I’ll report back whenever I open it.

Innnnnnnnteresting.

I also like to store my bottles in a ship that sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

It’s the only way to ensure they don’t oxidize

Civet Iris. That definitely came out of an animal's ass

All that and no mentioin that it's the same glass and fill level

Surprisingly enough, Toronado SF used to have a bunch of these bottles available for on-site consumption. Definitely had a few

Apparently posting pictures while on beer doesn't always work...here is the picture with correct / off beer. And this is why I didn't post a year

Shared a bottle of this about 2 years ago, also synthetic cork...yeah, it wasn't very good at all. Carb was fine and I wouldn't call it oxidized. It was just generally not good.

I’ve noticed a bunch of 375ml Vig 2009’s showing up on instagram lately, though I thought the last time Cantillon made Vig in 375ml’s was the 2005 release. Is this an un-logged batch or something more nefarious?

I saw a Vig 375 in Tokyo a few months ago, not sure of the vintage but it had a foil closure (so pre-2006?) and was next to a '98 Iris:

If I knew where it was... I did drink some loons yesterday at a craft beer bar in Tokyo after sumo. 14 bucks for a 375, not horrible
