Our Team
Scott Walker
Head of Valuations
Scott grew up in Perthshire and has worked in the drinks industry since his student days. He studied both music and media management, in which he gained his MSC. Working for a number of independent wine and spirits specialists including Oddbins and an auction house in Glasgow he developed his interests and expertise in wines and spirits further. Scott continues to play the trumpet professionally in touring bands around the world, as well as on radio and television. A keen traveller, he has also completed two vintages as a cellar hand in France’s Northern Rhône. Scott joined the team in 2019.
Peter Wilcockson
Whisky Specialist
Peter grew up in Wimbledon, London and studied sports science at university but he developed his great passion for whisky while he worked at Royal Mile Whiskies in London for five years. He particularly loves whiskies from Islay and Campbeltown, specifically Lagavulin, Ardbeg, Caol Ila and Springbank. He also likes Foursquare rum from Barbados. Peter joined Whisky.Auction in 2021 to develop his specialist interest in old, rare and vintage spirits. Peter enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons and also loves working out regularly saying that ‘lifting heavy things and putting them down is my favourite pastime’.
Tobias Davies
Cataloguer
A true local to the Whisky Exchange offices, Tobias was born and bred in Ealing. He initially joined The Whisky Exchange to drive our fleet of delivery vans, before his interest in the huge variety of bottles coming into the auction warehouse everyday brought him to the Whisky.Auction team as a cataloguer. Tobias has a passion for football and F1, and would usually consider himself a beer drinker. However, since recently passing his Wine WSET he is building a love of interesting wines from unusual grape varieties.
