History Of The Whisky Exchange

The Whisky Exchange was established in 1999 as a subsidiary of their old business The Nest, which was a specialist Wine and Spirits haven for both the consumer and the collector.

Many prestigious awards were won by The Nest, including the following:

  • Off Licence News - Off Licence of the Year 1991/2
  • The Booker Prize - Off Licence of the Year 1994/5

The Nest has now been sold, and The Whisky Exchange is now the future and the start of a journey that shall hopefully bring The Whisky Exchange many friends and much pleasure as their previous business.

The Whisky Exchange are primarily a MAIL ORDER business, offering the best Spirits in the world, with Single Malt Whiskies being at the forefront. Other fine spirits such as Cognacs and Rums will be an increasing part of The Whisky Exchange business over time.

Customers are more than welcome to visit The Whisky Exchange premises by prior appointment. The Whisky Exchange have a large showroom with over 1,,200 new and old expressions of Single Malts to choose from with a price range to suit everyone from £10 - £20,000.

The Whisky Exchange – Whisky Collection

The Whisky Exchange has only come about due to a passion for Whisky and in particular for Single Malts.

I originally started collecting Miniatures since the age of 12. When finding a very large collection of minis for sale in Bath, which I eventually bought I was faced with the dilemma of where do I keep 8,000 miniatures?

Advise from a number of friends in the Mini Bottle Club led me to specialise in Single Malt Whisky minis. I sold everything else and ended up with 300 or so minis.

20 years later and I have 4,500 Single Malts in miniature and now the task is to find a place to display them all.

About 12 years ago, I started getting interested in the larger standard size bottles, and started with collecting only 1 bottle from each distillery. I only wanted to collect 75cl sized bottles, as the new bottlings (70cl) were standard releases and not so interesting, but then … Black Bowmore was released and I had to have one of these!!!!! And then a different new limited edition was released, and I had to have one of those too!

2,000 bottles later, I think nothing more to pick up now and then another one tempts me.

The Whisky Exchange have been collecting Single Malt Whisky for the last 12 years and have about 1,000 different bottles, dating from the 1880's.

The profile of the collection is a mix between drinking whiskies and collecting whiskies.

Whisky is of course for drinking; therefore we have aside a large number of bottles, which The Whisky Exchange feel are very good drinking whiskies, to be drunk in the future. With Single cask bottlings, gems are to be found which may never be found again, therefore if affordable it maybe worth putting away a few bottles for the future.

On the collecting side, as with every other collector The Whisky Exchange would like to get an example from every distillery that has existed in Scotland. Many bottlings from distilleries, which were easy to find a few years ago, are now getting difficult and of course pricey (e.g.: Kinclaith )! This will continue to happen as stocks from closed distilleries are used up.

Original distillery bottlings are always better, but not possible in many cases such as Banff, Convalmore, Kinclaith, etc.

Limited Edition bottlings are usually interesting, with the best example being Black Bowmore.

The Whisky Exchange’s main areas of great interest are Ardbeg, Bowmore, Macallan, Port Ellen, Springbank and of course Lost Distilleries.

Some bottles from The Whisky Exchange collection may be seen in our Rare / Old Malts section.
