This Alberta based collectors interest in spirits began during his apres ski days, in the 90s, enjoying a few drams with friends. There were limited choices, and it wasnt until Macallan and Lagavulan were available in Canada, and he was gifted the book The Complete Guide to Single Malt Scotch that he began taking an interest in collecting. He lived in Beijing for 15 years and travelled extensively and was able to acquire spirits at many duty-free shops during that time. Other bottles were purchase across Canada at government shops and retail shops in Calgary. Before coming to Iron Gate, the bottles were all stored upright in cabinets in Beijing and Calgary.
