Whisky and the Jet Age
The year 1958 was significant for the launch of the Boeing 707, ushering in the Jet Age. The U.S. created NASA, and the Antarctic Treaty was signed to ensure the continent's peaceful use.
Despite the Cold War's shadow, international travel became easier and more glamorous. Whisky was often featured in duty-free shops at airports, further establishing its global presence. Collectors look at 1958 whiskies as a snapshot of an era where the world was becoming increasingly interconnected.
