The love and passion for Scotch Whisky came from the search for something deeper. Drinking any kind of alcoholic beverage is fun until some extent. I wondered if there is more. I started experimenting with craft cocktails at social gatherings with friends. We loved making old fashioends. This turned into a passion to make various types of old fashioneds, smoky ones, with rye and bourbon, etc.

After that came the bourbon craze. Everyone wanted Pappy Van Winkle, the most soth after bourbon in the world. With no offense to bourbon, it tasted amazing but it was so one dimensional.

I am a showman at heart and I was asked to officiate a friends wedding. The wedding was great and my speech was awesome. The gift that the bride and groom gave me for officiating their wedding was a 21 year old Glenfiddich, Gran Reserva. At the time I knew very little, but this tasted amazing. So much more interesting than the bourbons ive had.

Why the love for Scotch?

This is when my interest for Scotch Whisky grew. I kept thinking and researching and wanting to learn more. I went into a sherry bomb phase. Discovered Aberlour Abunaddh and other gems like Glenfarclas 105. But that was not enough. I wanted more. Then came came a revisit to bourbon world with a trip to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. But again, those sweet souther juices lacked what I longed for.

I decided that scotch had more to offer. Different types of maturations and various casks had different faces. I started to go down the rabbit hole deeper. I began my education into the Scotch Whisky World. I watched Vloggers like Ralfy.com, Gwhisky and First Phil Whisky. I read books by Dave Broom - Whisky Atlas, Ian Banks - Raw Spirit, Charlie Mclain - Whiskipedia and Lew Bryson - Taste Whisky. With more on my shelf that I can think of. I watch "A golder dream" documentary about Jim McHuean - the Islay Jesus, the man who singlehandedly revived Bruichladdich into the monster that it is today.

And then I tasted heaven. I became real passionate about the best Scotch Whisky Distillery out there, in my opinion - Springbank. I wanted to go and visit it for myself. I got lucky enough and enjoyed a visit with my 2 best friends. There we tasted the 2 best scotchs that I have ever tasted - Springbank 32 and Kilkerran 19 - tripple distilled. I knew I found it, the top. But there was so much more to experience. New cask explorations, maturations, finishes and stories to be told. I know many of my fellow Americans love their precious bourbon and dislike scotch, so I would love be the one that changes their mind and gives the taste of the stories behind it, and experience of the sweet nectar that is Scoth Whisky.
