I start this blog today 25th October 2012, the day of my 48th Birthday.
I want to write about whisky, as an amateur and a neophyte and I want to make it journey of discovery.
You may ask what are my qualifications?
Well first I don't work in and for the whisky industry, I have no particular axe to grind or product to sell. Any opinions given will be honest and personal to me. If I do provide links to bars, or distilleries, or shops, they will be part of the interesting story I hope to tell.
Secondly, I like the stuff, whisky that is, but not too much. I am a moderate and health conscious drinker and I like to think I have a good nose (Particularly for Bullshit, which I think might come in handy).
Thirdly I live in Edinburgh, Scotland. If Scottish Whisky has a capital city, this is it, full of fine whisky bars and home to The Malt Whisky Society.
Fourthly and very importantly, I have a wee camper van, perfect for pootling about the Highlands, visiting distilleries, seeing where whiskies come from, seeing what I can find out.
let's see where I go from here. I hope you can join me on my journey and I hope I enlighten, entertain and amuse you along the way.
Oh and I am sure I will be prone to make errors, if you know better than me, if I've made a mistake, please let me know and I will correct it.
Steve
