First step on the 100-dram whisky odyssey

Welcome, fellow whisky enthusiasts! Today marks the beginning of an exciting journey into the world of spirits, as I set out to explore and savor 100 different whiskies. Buckle up, because we're about to embark on a spirited adventure filled with rich flavors, unique aromas, and the stories behind each bottle.

Why 100 Whiskies?

The idea behind this quest is simple yet profound. In a world brimming with diverse whiskies, I've realised that there are countless gems waiting to be discovered. By tasting 100 different expressions, I aim to broaden my palate, deepen my appreciation for the artistry of distillers, and uncover hidden treasures that may have eluded me thus far.

The Chart: A Visual Chronicle of the Journey

To visually document this adventure, I've created a chart featuring 100 slots, each reserved for a unique whisky. Today, I'm thrilled to unveil the first entry on this chart: Aberlour 12 Year Old. A true Speyside classic (read more about my thoughts on this whisky here). It sets the tone for the adventure that lies ahead.

The Adventure Unfolds

As we progress through this tasting expedition, the chart will fill up with an array of whiskies, each bringing its own story and character to the table. I'll be sharing tasting notes, anecdotes, and perhaps a few surprises along the way. Whether you're a seasoned whisky connoisseur or a curious newcomer, I invite you to join me on this journey.
