About Us

This is a blog created and authored by three whisky geeks from Bristol, Simon, Tom and Rob. We haven't been drinking whisky for long, but what we lack in experience, we make up for in enthusiasm. We aim to chart our journey, review our new experiences and share our thoughts. Hopefully, something of what we write will be interesting to you too.
