Andy McNeill has been a legend at German whisky fairs for decades – thanks to his expertise and charm. Based in the picturesque town of Aschaffenburg, Andy also organizes his own whisky fair in the beautiful Aschaffenburg Castle: the Whisk(e)y Pur Festival in the last quarter of each year. Born in Scotland, Andy specializes in high-class, independent bottlings and has a certain weakness for Islay whiskies. With his own label „McNeill’s Choice“, Andy sells hand-picked whiskies, which he usually refines himself in various casks after importing them to Germany. His company Celtic Events is now run as a family business together with his son and brings bottlings from the Vintage Malt Whisky Company, in particular „The Cooper’s Choice“, to Germany.
