The
Whisky Exchange was established in 1999 as a subsidiary of 'The Nest',
which was a specialist Wine & Spirits haven for both the consumer
and the collector.
The Team at The Whisky Exchange have been collecting Single Malt Whisky
for the last 12 years and have about 1000 different bottles, dating
from the 1880's. The profile of the collection is a mix between drinking
whiskies and collecting whiskies.
Whisky
is of course for drinking; therefore The Whisky Exchange have aside
a large number of bottles, which they feel are very good drinking whiskies,
to be drunk in the future. With Single cask bottlings, gems are to be
found which may never be found again, therefore if affordable it maybe
worth putting away a few bottles for the future.
On the collecting side, as with every other collector they would like to get an example from every distillery that has existed in Scotland. Many bottlings from distilleries, which were easy to find a few years ago, are now getting difficult and of course pricey. This will continue to happen as stocks from closed distilleries are used up.
Original
distillery bottlings are always better, but not possible in many cases
such as Banff, Convalmore, Kinclaith, etc. Limited Edition bottlings
are usually interesting, with the best example being Black Bowmore.
The
Whisky Exchange is primarily a mail order business, offering the best
spirits in the world, with Single Malt Whiskies being at the forefront.
Other fine spirits such as Cognacs and Rums are slowly coming to fruition.
The Whisky Exchange has a large showroom with over 1200 new & old
expressions of Single Malts to choose from with a price range to suit
everyone from £10 - £20,000. If
you are looking for something in particular, please check The Whisky
Exchange site as they have many items arriving everyday and these may
not have been added to their list yet.
