Great British Explorers The Whisky Connoisseur 4 x 5cl / 40%

This lot contains four miniature bottles of single Speyside malt Scotch whisky, distilled and bottled in Scotland for The Whisky Connoisseur's Great British Explorers series:

1 x Captain James Cook, Pacific navigator 1728-1779, 5cl, 40% ABV

1 x George Mallory, Conquest of Everest 1886-1924, 5cl, 40% ABV

1 x Robert Falcon Scott, Scott of the Antartic 1868-1912, 5cl, 40% ABV

1 x Sir Walter Raleigh, Elizabeth Adventurer 1552-1618, 5cl, 40% ABV

This lot comes from the extensive collection of a Merseyside collector who began his hobby with bottles bought for guests as digestifs at private dinner parties in the early 1970s. His interest led to him advertising in the UK national newspapers, and buying and selling bottles as far afield as Australia, America and Ireland, with his last significant addition being a collection he purchased from Stoke On Trent in 1984.
