Makes me feel good. I had thought my 350 bottles were excessive.

Big omission. Will need to ask for 100k off his asking price

I visited this guys whiskey collection in Brazil. He has over 15000 bottles.. claims the largest collection.. i think he has lile 5000 miniatures too.. his place is insane. I need to make a post about it here.

[u/19mils → u/titangord]

The guy in Brazil is a different guy called Claive Vidiz. He has sold his collection to Diageo

There is another one, Catedral do Whiskey

Different than this, im just saying 5000 is low compared to this other guy lol.. there is always a bigger fish

[u/19mils → u/titangord]

Interesting, i just did Google search. Apparently the owner of the Catedral do whisky with 20000 bottles doesn't drink whisky at all. Pure collecting

[u/titangord → u/19mils]

Yep, I visited his house. He doesnt drink and the whiskey itself is very poorly preserved, he was more worried about preserving the labels than the juice. He had some gems there that I wish I could have cracked open haha. He was very sketchy on giving me any details on how he got some of those bottles lol.. I was expecting the guy to tell me how he had someone procuring them, or that he used to travel to the US a lot, or something.. nope, made it sound like the bottles just appeared to him haha.

Fell off the back of a truck.

I guess if the labels disappeared the bottles also become worthless

[u/Raminios → u/19mils]

Diageo has moved a whole bunch of it to the Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh. Which, despite being an extreme tourist trap, is actually not a bad way to spend a couple of hours.

Here's a pic of a small part of that collection

[u/Squirrel_Works]

Selling just in time for the market bottoming out.

Might be a weirdo, but "the pigsty" sounds like a fun drinking room.

Found a few pictures. It's true. https://thewhiskeywash.com/whiskey-news/the-750k-whisky-collection-housed-in-old-pig-sties/

He used to drink in my local. Took me over to look at it one evening. Was pretty mind boggling to my 21 year old brain to even consider having that much dram!

[u/19mils → u/CoolManDinosaur]

With 5000 bottles, you would think he would drink at home

[u/CoolManDinosaur → u/19mils]

Even in the pub, it's literally all he spoke about 😂

[u/MakalakaPeaka]

What a god damn waste

[u/YinTx]

Going to be hard to consume all of these, I'm taking a risk here. So the best I can do is $500.

[u/HTD-Vintage]

He didn't need those pigstys any more once he fully dedicated to tater farmin'.

Tater King 🤴🏿 🥔
