100 ml flask bottles

The two "Fake sealed" flasks in a 100 ml size. This is one of the hard to find sizes.

86 % and 90 % proof whiskey


This is a 90 % proof whiskey 100ml fake sealed bottle has a nice Tennessee Tax stamp.

200 ml flask bottles

A 20cl and a 200 ml "fake seal" flask.

375 ml flask bottles

This is the 375 ml fake seal, a 86 % proof bottle.

I don't know if the 500 ml flask bottle exist. I do got the real paper sealed one but never seen a fake or a glossy sealed one... If you got one let me know so we can share this information with the other Collectors...

350 ml & 375 ml square bottles

I haven't got the 50ml fake sealed miniature but I do know there is one, if you got one and want to sell it...please... please email me!! We start with sealed 350 ml fake (350 ml is the same as 35 cl), 43 % proof whiskey and specially made for Europe. This bottle has a back German back label.

500 ml square bottle

The 500 ml size bottle is a pretty rare size bottle. It's about the same size as a pint size bottle. I wouldn't be surpriced if this 500 ml size would disapear in the near future... There is still no 500 ml size bottle made from the last bottle line (The heritage line from Aug. 2005).

The sample was one of the first fake seals made. The box has the "old" plastic mold instead of the red velvet used later in the 80-ties (see below for a sample of this red velvet tins/cases) and the bottle has 90 % proof whiskey inside.

700 ml, 750 ml & 1000 ml square bottles

The more common bottles, the 70 cl (sold in europe), the 750 ml and the 1.0 liter "fake sealed" bottle.

700 ml / 70 cl European

750 ml US

1000 ml US

1.136 ml & 1.14 ml square bottles

Besides the 50 ml fake sealed miniature these are the second most rarest fake sealed bottles there are. They are the Canedian 1.136 ml and 1.14 ml size bottles also known as the Imperial Quarts. These bottles are almost imposible to find and there value can be estimated without a doubt over $ 400.00 a bottle.


Back side label of both bottles. Written in France and English language

Like on the new Glossy sealed bottles here the same with the embosement on the bottom of the 1.14 ml bottle. The embosement shows 1.136 ml instead of 1.14 ml.

1.500 ml square bottle

Finaly got my bottle back after two years... This is the UK version of the 1500 ml up-side-down labeld Fake seal. Awesome bottle and not seen often.

I also have got a 1.5 liter squire bottle with the label up-side-down on it. This bottle is used for a bottle holder that we've got on the wall at the back of the bar in Europe (or your living room...).

1.750 ml square bottle

This is the biggest size from this bottle line. It's a 1.750 ml size bottle and comparable with the older Half gallon bottles. The 1750 ml bottle is sold in two versions. It took me sometime to find the second version but here we got both bottles. I reallylove the "smaller stubby" version.... it looks a bit like the older Half Gallon bottles.


The taller versions doesn't have a back side label.

Special Editions / wrapping material

They sold a lot of package deal cardboard boxen with a 375 ml bottle and a gift. Here are two different once... The one on the left is a new glossy seal 375ml bottle and a tall pewter flask, on the right a fake sealed 375 ml and a pewter round flask.
