“I was looking to sell my whisky collection of 28 bottles of Macallan 18 year old to fund the purchase of my first house, so I got in touch with Mark.
My father gave me 1 bottle each year for a birthday present so that by the time that I was 18 I would have 18 bottles of 18 year old Macallan. (Yes I’m that guy who was plastered over the media)
Mark did a great job of getting professional photos taken of them and creating a PR buzz around the collection and I even ended up on BBC breakfast news, lad bible, and various radio stations around the world.
At one point my story was the second most viewed story on BBC world wide news app for the whole weekend with over 2 million views.
Needless to say within a day or two of this PR Campaign there was numerous offers.
I would like to thank Mark for all his work and helping me with everything.”
The History Of Duncan Taylor Whisky
In 2018, Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky Limited celebrated its 80th anniversary. The company was founded in 1938, with premise at 20 Renfield Street, Glasgow and initially specialised in cask trading and brokering. It is through that line of business that it amassed such a vast collection of aged and very rare whisky casks. The Duncan Taylor collection is considered one of the biggest collections of matured single-grain and single-malt whisky casks in Scotland.
In the 1960s Abe Rosenberg, a native New Yorker, bought the Scottish-owned Duncan Taylor and began storing casks purchased from premium distilleries. Although blends were traditionally Rosenberg’s business, he was passionate about the premium single malts and single grains that went into those blends. Throughout the years, he amassed more than 4,500 casks into the Duncan Taylor portfolio, many of which remain within the company collection.
The ranges that the company are known for are the blend of grain, Speyside and peaty Islay whiskies called Smokin’ and the high malt content whiskies in the Black Bull range. In 1994 Euan Shand purchased Duncan Taylor and its stock, having previously worked for the Glendronach distillery, Shand’s involvement brought the company back to its Scottish roots and with it a return to a focus single malts with a side-line in aged blended whiskies.
Interestingly, the Black Bull brand was already a famous premium blend, dating back as far as 1864. Before the days of prohibition, it was one of the blends imported most to America. It suffered as one of the first casualties of the so-called ‘dry America’. Given its heritage, it wasn’t surprising that when Shand and Duncan Taylor gave it life again in 2009, it became a popular brand once more.
In 2014 Shand moved Duncan Taylor operations from the Upper Kirkgate premises, to a new building created from an old supermarket along King Street. There he built bigger and more up-to-date warehousing, blending and bottling facilities. Duncan Taylor’s commitment to producing only quality whiskies, which has resulted in the receipt of numerous industry awards.
