A Toronto based consignor of Scottish dissent fell in love with peaty single malts in his 30’s. He joined a whisky tasting club in Toronto and visited the largest single malt bar in the city and began seriously collecting in 1999. He has amassed a large collection, including the largest collection of Rosebank whisky in Canada and has decided to sell some of it. While he has purchased from private retailers in Alberta and the LCBO, most of his bottles come from auctions in Scotland or he buys bottles on his frequent trips to Scotland. The 30 year old Macallan Fine Oak he is selling was purchased new in 2007 at Charles de Gaulle airport making this bottle in cask in either 1996 or 1997. He built a custom single malt whisky bar in his home, holding over 200 unopened bottles. No direct light and 15C.
