A Scholar & a Scot

'Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite, and furthermore always carry a small snake.'

During my more than 40 years as a public defender, I have proudly fought and won cases
ranging from environmental negligence to those involving racketeering charges related to associates of the local Mafia. I like to think that I defend and fight for my clients with a tenacity worthy of my heritage, and with an integrity worthy of my peers in a farther-reaching world. |

However, I reserve my toughest judicial prejudices for Whisky, and prefer for myself the pure, scots kind.
My favorite cask is poured Glenfiddich, and for the past 15 years I have made it my passion to collect some of the most interesting elements of the whisky trade: The crates our favorite libations were shipped in. The crates in our collection are some of the finest historic examples of such anywhere on the planet, and represent a unique and important element in the history of our world and of our nation. - Terry Lumsden |
