Hi there! I'm Z, a fellow whisky enthusiast from Hungary. I've been on this incredible whisky journey for the past four years and have had the pleasure of tasting over 950 whiskies from around the globe — from Scotch and Irish expressions to Bourbons and a wide variety of world whiskies.

Some of my favourite distilleries include ✅Ardnamurchan, Bowmore, Bushmills, Glenfarclas, Highland Park, Kavalan, Macallan, and Teeling ✅.

Lately, I've been exploring single malts from lesser-known regions, and I'm genuinely excited about what many countries have to offer. Taiwan continues to impress me, but I've also found excellent single malts from Romania, France, and Germany. I enjoy Bourbons and Tennessee whiskies too — especially those with a higher rye content, though I also appreciate a well-crafted wheated bourbon.

When it comes to cask maturation, Port and Bourbon casks are my top picks, followed closely by various wine casks like Sherry. That said, I've grown a bit wary of many Sherry-matured whiskies lately — too often they overpower the spirit and turn into overly acidic "sherry bombs," which I really don't enjoy. I'm also not a fan of most sherry-seasoned cask whiskies, with the exception of those from Edrington (Macallan, Highland Park, Glenrothes), who I think are the only ones that get it right for now.

RATINGS:

⏺95-100: Dram of a lifetime. Outstanding. ▶️ 90-95: A very well made, exceptional whisky. ▶️ 80-90: It's worth the money and it's worth to try. (It doesn't mean I'd buy a bottle tho.) ▶️ 70-80: 3.6, not great not terrible. ▶️ 60-70: I wouldn't pay for it. ▶️ 0-60: Avoid it at all costs!⏺costs!⏺
