Johnnie Walker Collecting

It is truly amazing the places you see and people you meet when collecting Johnnie Walker. if it wasn't for my passion in collecting Johnnie Walker, I would have never visited such places as Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau or New Zealand, places I often frequently visit now. Whether it be in person or via the Internet, I often have people asking me if it is safe to trade and buy with different people, and to be honest the majority of Johnnie Walker collectors in the collecting community are amazing.
These are some of the people who are honest and very helpful to deal with in no particular order

Sorry if I have forgotten anyone.

Whether it be Aviel Perl inviting me to visit him and showing me around Isreal or Paul J Mason inviting me to try some of his Scotch whisky when in Melbourne or even Martin Isaac inviting me to see his collection when i visit London. Its amazing how through collecting you form friendships without even having met the person. 

Thank you to everyone who has helped me find a bottle or have purchased from me or even for information on bottles I knew nothing about. 

All your help and kindness is much appreciated, my collection wouldn't look like this without everyone's help.










People are often against collectors collecting Johnnie Walker bottles and not opening them for a sample taste, and others are against the ones who do open a rare bottle to sample it, at the end of the day it's personal preference and that's all that matters. You may like your scotch with ice rather than neat or mixing it. Enjoy it how you love to enjoy it and share the moment with close friends who will appreciate it. 

I think every bottle of Johnnie Walker I have is truly amazing, it's not only the taste of the beautiful gold liquid inside, but the story and history about each bottle. Whether it be a limited release or a bottle collaboration with a high end brand, or even how hard it was for me to obtain because of its limited availability to only one certain country! They're all individually amazing and pieces of Johnnie Walker history. 

Keep Walking.

Happy collecting!
