| As
his interest grew, he made his first distillery
visits in the late 90’s.
Since then, he has made almost 25 trips
to Scotland—including the mainland and five
Scottish islands—and personally visited just
about a hundred different distilleries.
Over time, he has developed a first name
relationship with many of the distillery
managers and several independent bottlers of
single malts.
Beyond
his distillery visits, he has been a frequent
visitor at whisky fairs in Europe and has made
numerous connections with other enthusiasts and
whisky writers. He
has frequently been consulted concerning single
malt whisky and has also consulted on the
collecting of single malt miniatures.
He has been a Glencairn designer and
retailer for about seven years and holds
world-wide exclusive rights to several of the
Glencairn etched designs.
Barbara
has accompanied Kenneth on many of his 60+
trips to the British Isles over the last 20
years. Currently,
her main interest is in genealogy and she has
become a large contributor to Find
A Grave and is frequently consulted by
others interested in genealogy and burial sites.
Previously, she had developed a major
collection of Irish Belleek porcelain and was
frequently consulted by other collectors at
shows and by mail and e-mail.
