Selling the collection was a
deeply emotional process for
me since it has been such a
huge part of my life. I feel
this incredible journey has
culminated in a fitting finale
with these bottles entered
back into the market so
other people can enjoy them,
perhaps with some added
knowledge gained alongside.
My journey with whisky
is not over, but I hope my
approach will inspire whisky
lovers and future collectors
to be diverse and eclectic
when constructing their
own collections. Anyone
can collect whisky, and good
whisky can be discovered
anywhere and at any price."
