Manager's Dram Series from Diageo's Distilleries
T
he collector,
known only as Pat,
bought his first
whiskies based
on the recommendation of a
colleague. His determination
to explore and taste every
area of whisky soon
outstripped his ability to
open the bottles he was
acquiring, and so began his
collection. Almost twenty
years later, Pat's Whisk(e)y
Collection became the most
extensive private collection
ever auctioned.
Unprecedented on the
secondary market, Pat's
Whisk(e)y Collection took
over 12 months to auction
off across a series of specially
curated monthly spotlight
auctions and dedicated sales.
Pat's Whisky Collection
featured over 5,000 Scotch
single malts, more than 1,000
blended whiskies, over 600
American whiskies, and
hundreds of often-overlooked
grain whiskies and
independent bottlings most
complete picture of whisky
ever brought to market.
Pat's Whisky Collection was
sold via Whisky Auctioneer,
the world's leading online
platform for buying and
selling whisky and spirits
at auction. A collection like
no other, it has been one
of the company's biggest
success stories and will likely
never be replicated on the
secondary market.
