After filling the ears of many with my regular whisky chatter, I found myself repeatedly being told ‘you should really start up a blog’. I’d like to think it’s because my musings are just that interesting, but you can be the judge of that one.

In setting this up, my main aim is to make it accessible and interesting to all. You won’t find any numerical ratings or fancifully whimsical tasting notes here, but you will find a whole lot of genuine thoughts, adventures, photos and good times.

As full bottles replace empties and my favourites near their end, I’ll be covering it here. The odd bar write-up, event recap or piece of advertising or news will also be thrown in for good measure. I’ve no doubt this’ll evolve over time, so here’s to a light-hearted journey through all things whisky and whiskey!

In the words of Mark Twain, ‘too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough’. That’s the spirit. Let’s see where it takes us.
