With over 15 years in the wine and spirits industry, this consignor is a bonafide whisky enthusiast. He is a certified sommelier who has served as a wine and spirits instructor, brand ambassador for several renowned whisky brands in Toronto, and manager of a fine wine and spirits store in Vancouver. Currently, he manages private whisky collections. The bottles in his collection were purchased across Canada, Newfoundland to Victoria, except for some bourbon form the US and a few high-end bottles of whisky from Scotland. He remembers buying the first bottle in October 2008 in Calgary. A pristine collection, that was stored, upright, in wooden cabinets behind closed doors in his basement for 10 years. The four years prior to coming to Iron Gate saw the bottles in closed hard plastic storage boxes in a secured temperature-controlled storage facility in the GTA.
