This consignor built his collection over a 30-year career based out of Aberdeen, Scotland. His interest began in the summer of 1992 with the purchase of a 1959 Glencadam 25-year-old from a Glasgow shop in Queen Street Station, a bottle he still holds in his collection today. Over the decades, he sourced his bottles through specialist whisky shops across Northern Scotland, as well as retailers near The Hague in the Netherlands. In more recent years, he acquired rarities through Scottish whisky auction sites. He was often informed by his son, a former bartender at the Craigellachie Hotel and whisky shop manager who went on to earn an MSc in Brewing & Distillation. His son now serves as a Senior Stillsman at the Glasgow Distillery, further deepening the family’s connection to the craft. Originally kept in Scotland within cabinets and a refurbished whisky cask, the 150-bottle collection eventually moved with him back to Canada. It was housed in a custom-built "whisky room" in the BC Okanagan Valley before its most recent relocation to Ontario.
