About ten years ago, during my first trip to Scotland, I started to discover the vast world of whisky.
I gradually began to visit one distillery after another and I must have been to more than 35 by now. It get to the point where the guides say they don’t think they have much more to tell me, but that isn’t true. I learn anecdotes, architecture and the story of each distillery itself.
Today, I have a degree in Fundamentals of Distilling from the London Institute of Brewing and Distilling. I also spent five days working with Strathearn distillery’s team at the start of their venture, before taking part in a session of the Springbank Whisky School a couple years ago. An interesting session albeit a little ‘touristic’ and self-promoting.
