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

Well I collect tools as I am working on projects.  Then when I let my daughter and son in law borrow them I have to go collect some more since they hardly ever come back to me.
Books are like albums, to be used as a source of inspiration and knowledge. "A room without a book is a room without a soul." Some old dead white guy with a permanent tan. 
Things I collect: pipes, knives, watches, and presently a boatload of angst. 
Oh yea, how could I forget. I collect pictures of cue balls. Keep them in a white album.
