Once a month we’re going to try and list some things we’ve found online that we think are fun, interesting, strange or just great online about Scottish Whisky. This month we’re going to start with Blogs. It seems the best place to start and let you know all about the online whisky community.
Whisky Blogs
- Whisky Tag - This was one of the first blogs I started to read. Its a good nice easy read and makes learning about whisky simple. Never too heavy and always perfect for lunch time reading
- Nonjatta - Nonjatta is about Japanese whisky. Its not about Scottish whisky
-but its still a favourite. Talks about a number of drinks from Japan but mainly whisky. Sometimes funny but always just perfect for sunny day browsing.
- Dr.Whisky - Very informative blog - great tasting notes if you’re looking to buy a new whisky this place will always give fair and frank reviews - images next to whisky are nice (note to self must remember to ask that web geek I know how to put images into this thing)
Ok thats all for today hope you find some good information in these three Whisky blogs. If you know of any we should be looking at please leave us a note in the comments.
