s it a wise idea to hand a loaded rifle to a drunken (albeit very well dressed) man? If the wine is sublime and the suit is snazzy, and of course its all within the right context, the answer is always YES!

When I was a kid I used to collect a very
glossy American car magazine. The posters
emblazoned my walls. From Vector W8’s
through Strosek and Ruf Porsches.
And then there were the Lambos.

A. Always.
B. Be.
C. Closing.

The holy trinity of selling. And Alex Baldwin does it well. Impossibly well. But another combination springs to mind which we decided to fully investigate in the balmy climes of Los Angeles while New York was buried in snow and ice.

Auchentoshan. Burns Night. Chateau.

For good measure we threw in a few other ABC’s. Aston Martin. Bowmore. Cohiba. And then went off piste spoiling everyone involved with spoons full of Pointy Snout Caviar and a fountain of Krug.

It’s become a family tradition to draw together a merry band of thieves to celebrate the life of the original Scot’s pl***oy, Robert Burns, in January every year. And when in need of an excuse for a party his greatest legacy may be not only his philosophical poetry but a fine excuse to gather together kindred spirits while imbibing some serious spirits.

Thus we ended up in Los Angeles to get to grips with a particularly fine Aston Martin DB9 in the mornings and a triumvirate of hand crafted and special scotch in the evenings.

Auchentoshan is one of only three surviving lowland malt whisky distillers. Triple distilled just north of Glasgow it was the easy starter for ten of the night closely followed by Glen Garioch and Bowmore. Suddenly Burns Night had turned into a haggis fueled whisky tasting. Bowmore Oyster shooters, haggis, bagpipes and carefully controlled chaos.

Highlights of the night? Johnnie Mundell the master of malt, a full haze of Cohiba Comidors at full steam, and an illicit run to No Vacancy to close them down for the night.

WHO?
Duncan Quinn is arguably one of the handful of people responsible for the resurgence of men’s tailoring in the USA in recent years. He has always had a passion for the persuasion of perception and a keen eye for cut, shape, color and form. He’s also been known to throw the occasional party, indulge in the odd cheeky lunch, drive too fast and enjoy life just a little too much in the company of his friends.

Although Duncan hails from London, his view of the world was heavily influenced by years spent learning about food, wine and life in the south of France. The lessons learned there, along with the wanderlust this instilled and the travels that followed, gave him an exceptional toolset with which to convey the world as he sees it.

Duncan is fascinated by the psychology of clothing and loves a good story, even if it is a tall tale. He is lucky enough to have eaten in some of the best restaurants in the world, and counts owners of some of the finest vineyards in the world as friends. When not celebrating life with his friends he enjoys riding motorcycles, driving cars, and generally doing anything that involves going faster than God intended.

Everything Duncan does is a reflection of his travels and experiences, his joy in learning new customs, places, methods and views and his sharp attention to detail, proportion, color and cut.

When he has a spare moment he likes nothing more than to sit and watch the world go by in the Cours Saleya, Nice, France.
