There are literally thousands of whisky blogs out there, so you might ask yourself: why do I bother with writing one (and why should you be bothered with reading it)? I've been tempted to start a blog about some of my favorite fine things of life, whisky and food in small tins, for quite some time but never gotten around to do it. But recently I decided to bring my whisky interest in a new direction and decided I should start writing down some of my thoughts on the whisky I try, so why not do it in a blog form.
This blog will be for my personal whisky journey and I won't pretend that I know what I am talking about and I will refrain from orating about the state of the industry or the latest NAS bottling, or whatever is currently having the whisky community up in arms. No, this will just be a log of my thoughts on whisky (and maybe a tin of food once in a while), a tool for me to develop my skill to analyze, talk about, think about and enjoy whisky.
So, will I do reviews? Yes, somehow I will try to note down my thoughts and give them some kind of rating. In what form? I don't know. One thing I know for sure is that I won't use a 0-100 point system. I have no frame of reference and for me to grade on such fine scale, at this stage, would not make any sense to me nor anyone that would read my writings. Will I follow a template? Not at this stage, I will experiment with different forms of conveying highly subjective thoughts on whisky, some probably more informative than others.
That said, my initial plan was to make the blog private, but decided against it. Should a reader find their way here, or even better, leave a comment, criticism or feedback, that might just teach me something new about whisky, and that is what this blog is about.
