A Counterpoint to Clinton

Dear Editor:
I subscribe to Robb Report Worth magazine. In your
January 2004 issue, page 108, you ran an article by contributing writer Richard
Hacker titled, “Spirited Portfolios,” about Scotch whiskies. I currently
have five casks (barrels) dated November 12, 1973, lying in a bonded warehouse
in the north of Scotland. My question is: What would be the best way to
sell these casks? Any comments or ideas would be helpful and appreciated.

You do not say from which distillery your casks are from, but my first
thought would be to contact the distillery and inquire if it is interested in
buying back its whiskies. As the available stock of aged single malt grows
scarcer, many distilleries are actively seeking out casks such as yours.
An
excellent U.S.-based contact is Steve Lipp, CEO of Duncan Taylor U.S., at
323.960.9065. The company actively seeks out old single malts such as yours for
bottling under its own label. Multiple barrels of 30-year-old whisky could be
quite the find for the right party. Good luck.
