This whiskey collection belonged to the seller’s father, who left Quebec at 20 to work on drilling rigs in Saskatchewan. After settling in Edmonton in 1977, he spent his career in Alberta’s oil industry. A case of Seagram’s V.O. was given as a wedding gift—a common gesture in the oil patch at the time—and was stored, untouched, under the basement stairs for nearly five decades. Now 88 and recently relocated after 48 years in the same home, he’s passing the collection on. More than just whiskey, the bottles reflect the early days of Alberta’s oil boom, with many tied to the Nisku area—a quiet tribute to the legacy of the patch.
