A once-in-a-lifetime collection of rare whiskies is heading to auction next year, and could fetch a record-breaking sum when it heads to the block. The “Perfect” Collection is the legacy of the late Richard Gooding, a Colorado businessman who over his lifetime amassed over 3,900 bottles. Gooding’s passion eventually came to represent some of the largest individual collections of famous distilleries like Springbank, Bowomore, and Macallan.

I mean, no one has that,” said writer Angus MacRaild. “That’s ridiculous.” There are bottles that experts in the field have never even seen in person—let alone tasted. Because of the size of the collection, it will actually be split into two lots, to be sold separately in 2020.
