Quite possibly the biggest name in the whisky world, Sukinder Singh is a good many things. His personal life aside, from a professional standpoint, he owns and operates the worlds largest online retailer of whisky, The Whisky Exchange; he owns the UK's largest drinks distribution company, Speciality Drinks; he runs The Whisky Show in London and co-runs the famous "Old & Rare" Show; he owns a good many Independent Bottling labels such as Port Askaig and Single Malts of Scotland... the list can go on.
Interestingly Joshua and Jason discussed none of this. Rather the conversation led the trio to the topics of Whisky Collecting, Auctions, and Whisky Fakes (faked bottles). Mr. Singh is likely the world's biggest collector of Scotch Whisky (and could well have the largest collections of individual bottles at 12 or 13 thousand) and has likely been collecting longer than most people. This is easily one of the most interesting conversations Joshua and Jason had about whisky.
So, as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!
