This Man’s Whisky Collection Just Won a Guinness World Record

Whether you’re collecting based on awards, group recommendations or what friends are telling you, it’s a fair bet you think you have one of the best whiskey collections in the world. While that might certainly be true in some circumstances, it’s not true in the global sense because the “World’s Most Expensive Whisk(e)y collection” belongs to Vietnam resident Viet Nguyen Dinh Tuan with a 535 bottle collection valued at over $16,729,000 US dollars. This insane collection of two-decade year old whiskies was recently confirmed by Guinness World Records to be the most valuable in existence and includes everything from a 1926 Macallan Fine and Rare to one of the oldest Bowmore releases known to exist and represents an entire lifetime of collecting on behalf of the collector. Viet has absolutely no intentions of selling any part of the collection–which is why we love him–but that doesn’t mean his impressive feat isn’t worth recognizing.
