A message from Teun van Wel @maltstock.com

Last year a big part of the collection of Michiel Wigman (part of the Dutch connection and the biggest Springbank collector) had been stolen. So far unfortunately no bottle showed up and nobody has been caught. Recently thieves have stolen another part of his collection. unbelievable. It makes me both very sad and angry. Below a message from Michel. And the list of the whisky stolen this time. Please everybody keep an eye out for any of this whisky.

Message from Michiel:

“Dear friends,

I am terrible sorry to have to share with you (again) that professional thieves have stolen another part of my collection. Some of you will know that I was in the middle of selling my collection, most of you won’t know.
The first part, a few hundred bottles are already in Germany, the last part I was trying to collect from my box at Shurgard yesterday afternoon. Walking to this box I saw that all locks were simply gone. No sign of breaking in again, just the locks gone. It was stored in a complete other side of the building with much more locks as the first time, October last year.

Looking into the box it was complete empty. Last year 185 bottles were stolen, this time 195 from my collection and another 150 that were meant to be opened in a few year from different distilleries. Of course I went to the police, to the management of Shurgard, and had some legal advice. The police sais they are to busy to overlook the video’s from Shurgard.  Last year many of you were so kind to keep your eyes open everywhere bottles of Springbank were offered. Unfortunately without any result. No reason however for me to ask you again; please be so kind to watch around and let me know if you see any of the bottles of the list attached offered anywhere.

Besides a lot of money involved there is this feeling of emotions and being not save anymore. Therefore I decided to stop collecting whisky in every way. Every bottle that I still have (after the sold remaining part of my original collection) will be gone tomorrow. The only thing I will continue with is visiting whisky festivals to share the taste of old bottles with Dutch Whisky Connection. I do not want my hobby and passion to be stolen as well, so a little stock with mainly open bottles will remain. I am very sorry the world these days is as it is. We have to try to live with this, which is hard at the moment. Hope to see many of you in the near future at some occasion to join each other to have the joy of drinking a good dram together.

Kindest regards,

Michiel”
