Does anyone collect something else other than music.


 I guess all of us must be collectors at heart, both music and kit, but are there other collecting obsessions out there? Many people collect watches, cars, mountain bikes and so on.

I have started a small collection of good Scotch malt whisky. Always loved whisky, but never studied the range and quality available. It may be a bit easier for me, living in the UK, although most bottles seem to be available in the US, at comparable prices too. The only drawback is that I don't get to drink any of the good stuff, as the collection is something I intend to leave to my kids, who all have tastes above their pay grade. Whisky has always been collectable, but prices do seem to be on the up. It is staggering what bottles, particularly of the best distilleries and closed ones, can go for. Prices over £100,000 for one bottle, aren't unusual, with interest from all over the world.

 I like all whisky, but my current favourite is probably Caol Ila, a not too heavily peated  Islay distillery. Glad to say my consumption has remained very modest. Unfortunately, when we emerge from Covid 19, I think there are going to be a lot more problem drinkers.

 So what do you collect? If you are a whisky fan too, perhaps post your favourites and bottles worth collecting.

Thanks

Cast iron skillets, kitchen knives. 

I have collected a few vintage Wagners, Lodges, BSRs, Griswolds, as well as a couple of modern Lodge pans.  Use them all.
  
Also enjoy my Miyabi Kaizen knife set and Zwilling Pros. 

I guess you could say I have a craft beer collection also.

I have a small,very selective,automatic wrist watch collection & am active in an online community...Mostly Professional grade Divers watches,NO Rolex or Omega,I’m much more selective than a brand I can see a dozen of in any financial district on the planet.I do have 1 watch that has served on the International Space Station & has walked in space!
Ahh, craft ales. Yummy. The stuff I collect, it would be a security breach to talk about.
Nice radios, Al. Although my naive favorites are those big piano key Telefunken Grundigs.
@millercarbon I used collect/drink craft beer until the guts went south from abuse. Too many 12% quads.
