Meet Gavin Linde of @RolexWhisky in La Jolla

Today we’d like to introduce you to Gavin Linde.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Gavin. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I own and operate an amazing Instagram page called @rolexwhisky, I collect high end, rare whisky from all around the world, and also have a unique collection of Rolex Watches. I travel to private and public whisky events all over the country and get to drink some of the most amazing juice in the world.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Honestly, it all took speed on its own. I had no idea I would become and Instagram influencer, let alone a high-end whisky influencer. Next thing I am gaining followers from all over the world, who engage with me, and we share a love for great whisky and Rolex watches.

@RolexWhisky – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
I am a whisky Instagram influencer. I collect high-end whisky primarily limited edition and rare whisky. Its a liquid investment for me, and in 15 years when my kids go to college I will liquidate it to pay for their college. Well, that’s at least what I say now. 😉 I am most proud of my page in that I make my choices who I support very carefully since I am a relationship driven individual.

I rely on the companies and their brand ambassadors to create a good repoire, and then I can get behind them and help spread the word. I don’t get paid for what I do if I endorse a brand its because I feel a connection to them. I love that I get invited to fun private events and get to drink ridiculously amazing whisky, which I love and I get to share it with my community.

What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?
I do a lot of whisky hunting, on a few occasions I have been able to pick up very rare bottles at Suggested Retail Price, that are worth 5 to 10 times currently, imagine how much they will be worth in 15 years. 😉
