About me

My first bottle of single malt whisky was a standard Oban 14 years, which I received in the late 1990's from study friends. We emptied it during a night of playing 'risk', as we did in those days...

Just in 2009 I really started to taste whisky more fanatic, after reading well known whiskybooks of Michael Jackson and Charlie MacLean. Things accelerated even more after my first visit to distilleries in Scotland in September 2010.

After that the first thing I really wanted to do was to drink at least one sample of all Scottish distilleries which produced single malt whisky after WOII. That goal I achieved in May 2012 after finishing a sample of Ben Wyvis 1968.

I don't have one specific favorite whisky, but I do have a weak spot for old Strathisla, Lochside and heavy sherried style whiskies. I also like very much Caperdonich and Tobermory from 1972. It seemed that my year of birth has been a good vintage for those whiskies. Lucky me!
