I totally agree with you, Michael....it is so beautiful as a whole....it should be a kind of living museum (don't know how, but some kind of "Living Liquid Whisky Experience" (not like the one in Edinburgh, but kinda...more available bottles to taste...and maybe a project to make it last forever....such as recording every tasting made in a room nearby, to verse it to a wide digital tasting bank one could consult from all over the world, like a living liquid library (...). So, when Angus says '"it would energize the secondary market", me I hear only that it will increase the greed of the buyers & the speculation of many flippers then...Not sure it was the finest idea about this amazing collection...😒

I suspect they were willed to either petulant, undeserving recipients who don't care about anything but the money it will give them, OR maybe, and preferably, this was the will of Mr. Goodings. Maybe this is how he wanted to pay it forward after he left this earth.

Whilst I like the idea of it staying together, I'd rather someone enjoying it by drinking than by sitting in a museum

Whiskey was meant to drink, not rot in a museum and collect dust. Break it up and let people enjoy what is in inside. The collection thing is so silly

Why put a large collection of whiskey that was meant to enjoy in a museum so that it is basically lost on the world forever? That doesn't seem right. Sell them to people that will appreciate them.

Might be able to get the whole lot for $10M

I totally agree with you Andreas. Being a whisky/whiskey connoisseur myself, I would have been delighted to learn Mr Gooding`s collection was to be sold in it`s entirety, on the condition it not be opened. In my opinion, to destroy such a unique collection by selling the bottles off individually, is essentially an act of vandalism. To have a chance to simply view this collection, would be a rare privilege indeed. I for one would pay to see it.

Well, the most appropriate thing to be done with the collection is... Whatever Mr. Goodings wanted to be done with it.

I wonder if his pilot collected also.

one thing makes me sad this colecktion never wil be compleet again it dousend matter how mutch money you have or one you donth have the time again whith all the money of the word tho colleckt again thos bottes thos botthels are never to be seen again together that makes me sad very sad 😩😩😩😩😩😩

bud thats is life you go tho your grave en thos people who are familllie want to see money donth like whiskey en where this man spend his all life on this is goining to be break up only if he had a testament whith a judge to reserve the collecktion to a museam orso not tho be break up vor stiupid money

he built this house specialy for the colecktion that house was his bottle cabinet

yes but you need passion for whisky lot of rich people will purchase couple bottles and stop

If you started today, knew what to look for, and had the patience and discipline to save bottles, you don't have to be rich. Then, like all good investments, give it some time to age, and within 20 to 30 years you're going to be looking like a rich man. So cross step one off your list.

..Only to have the grandchildren sell it all off! 😢

Whiskyverkostungsvideo 4000 😜😂

bro this colecktion was better hahahh more expensive hahaha he had all the hard to coleckt bottlels if i give you all the money of the world no spending limit you cant built this colecktion again becouse you donth have enough years in youre life to do it basically this colecktion will never bee togeter again sadly

He bought most of the bottles new and direct from the distillery, and most at a time well before the whisky boom. 20 years ago few people were even interested in a 40yo Laphroaig, people just didn’t care. He must’ve paid pennies on the dollar for most of these.

indeed this collecktion wil never to be seen again together 1 men in his hole life cant coleckt en own the same bottles again that makes me sad

There are 6 fine oak Macallans in the collection,but blink and you,d miss them. 10yo,15yo,15yo,17yo,21yo+30yo.

0.40 seconds in ,hit the pause button and check out the top left of screen.

Whatever they sell for. I bought three from that collection.

Yes the first, and yes to the second if it’s gonna be sold

George best😅

He was the pepsi owner

Pepsi franchisee that was forced to sell back to the corporation. His grandfather bought the franchise for $500 not a bad return !

sad its murder bro

I believe he was an heir to Coca-Cola

You very probably would. I bought four bottles from that collection - the cheapest being £40.

Do you have stil the 50 bottles I am very interested dude

@@janteun3 yes I have it

@@janteun3 send me your email to send you photos

how much does it cost

I don’t agree. I live ten minutes from this collection, and Mr. Gooding frequented all the local pubs here in Colorado talking about sharing whisky and letting it find good homes that will consume it. Nothing is truly permanent, the collection had its time as a single entity, and is now time to move on. Plus he willed it to be sold at auction.

What are you on about? The bright lighting in the video are the result of studio lighting kits the production team brought. You can see their reflection in the bottles. It’s not that bright in there normally. The room is temperature and humidity controlled. Bottles are kept upright. And he kept all the boxes safely in storage. Seriously do people bother thinking before firing off whatever dumb thought pops in their head anymore?

Bud this colecktion is more interesting en more money he have Mr Gooding extremely rare old bottles the Macallan adami 1926 only 12 ever made the dude had 2 of them there 😂

Not only bourbon but a specific section of vintage ceramic bottlings shaped like birds from Wild Turkey among others.

Many were visibly opened and had purple stickers marked on them to denote that. Especially with the Balvenies and Port Ellens.

Dewayne’s collection is in now way better, it’s only larger. Gooding’s collection is far more diverse and represents far more forgotten and lost distilleries. It’s a much classier, better researched collection. And he actually put in the miles tracking down bottles. Cannot say the same for Dewayne.
