Recently I’ve became fascinated by Whisky. Last year I went on a micro-brewery tour at West in Glasgow. In that case it’s beer, but Whisky is distilled beer so it’s the same ingredients and they share part of the same process. On my recent trip to Skye I went around the Talisker distillery and was very taken by the Whisky experience.

The Whisky flavour chart (PDF) was what really appealed to the inner information geek within me. As soon as you can identify the flavour types along with their associated areas you get a much better picture of the brands on offer.

This set me off on a mission to experience all the different tastes that this nation provides. It really is a crime that my previous experience was with blended whiskies intended for cocktails!

I’ve collated information I’ve found online and created a whisky tasting guide.
