Gavin and Jack Taub, embarked on a conversational journey through the world of whiskey, reflecting on experiences ranging from the bustling Whiskey Live Paris festival to the quiet contemplation of rare Scotch.
Their shared passion was evident as they discussed the evolving landscape of whiskey collecting, investment strategies, and the stark differences in alcohol sales between the UK and the US. The conversation meandered through auction frustrations, the allure of exclusive brand experiences, and the nostalgia of traditional whiskey craftsmanship.
They reminisced about memorable tastings, like Jack’s introduction to a special McCallan Ruby and the coveted 55-year-old Yamazaki, highlighting the “money can’t buy” moments that define a true enthusiast’s journey.
The summer backdrop seemed to amplify their appreciation for the rich history and passionate individuals within the whiskey industry, culminating in Gavin’s dream of a Gordon MacPhail-focused home bar, a testament to their shared dedication to the spirit.
