Discover Whisky

As we enter 2008 I thought it was about time that we said a bit about 2008 and said thank you to all the people who’ve helped make this site a success.

2008 - More tastings in more locations

In 2007 we’ve conducted a couple of tastings - trying to develop our scoring system has been our main concern. As none of us as ‘professional whisky tasters‘ we’ve been trying to develop a score card that we can put online so that everyone can add their views using the same criteria. At these tastings we’ve had close to one hundred people giving their views on how they taste whisky and what they use to determine a ‘great whisky‘ and how they determine a ‘poor whisky‘. This has been a harder task than we first envisaged. But we hope to have this done by the end of March.

Also in 2008 we’re hoping to arrange a public tasting - it may be a very limited public tasting of about 20 people and we’re currently finalising details as we speak. It is hoped to have something arranged in Edinburgh after the Festival is finished - as it’ll be less busy and Edinburgh always regains its sense of self at this time.

Thanks for 2007

A big thanks should go to Spider Writing and Amimono Design. Each of these companies have helped with hosting, design, installation and some other bits and pieces to do with the site.

A big round of applause goes to all at Glenmorangie. They helped arrange whisky for one of our small tastings at the tail end of last year - review coming soon. The whisky they sent us has also became one of the corner stones when developing our scoring system. They sent us a Christmas present too which was great.

So all the best to all of you in 2008.
