Here are my core values towards whisky
- Only know the bottle if you try it in ALL OPENING condition
(i.e. Taste the bottle regularly from being opened until it is empty)
- The flavour IS AND IS NOT referred from distillery, brand, age, cask, etc
- Always trust yourself
- Give personal notes rather than judge
