About Me

I share my life with my husband, John, our lovely daughter, two Coton de Tulears and a lively Scottish Terrier.  What makes my heart sing? Well, there are a few things: hiking, cooking, cocktails, and chocolates! I can’t resist those sweet delights.

What you will find on Whisky of the Week

Let’s talk about what you’ll discover here only blog. Picture this: Friday evenings, hubby and I sitting in our whisky room, savouring a glass of our favourite spirit, letting the week’s stress melt away. It’s our little ritual.

Now, onto the good stuff – over 400 whisky tasting notes and counting! I’m on a never-ending journey to explore whiskies from all corners of the globe – India, the USA, South Africa, Europe, you name it. And I love pairing them with delicious food and experimenting with boozy desserts for my friends. I’m also a cocktail enthusiast.

If you want to learn more about whisky or how to pair it with food, you’ve come to the right place. A good starting point might be my Single Malt Tasting notes, notes on Grain Whisky or my reviews and Tasting notes for Blended whisky. There is also a section on Blended Malt as well as American and Irish Whiskey.

And don’t miss my popular whisky cheese pairings – the Laphroaig and Stilton cheese pairing is a personal favourite.  As for cocktails, I’m always shaking things up – some with whisky, some without. Just click on the Cocktail link to dive into the world of fun and easy cocktails I’ve whipped up.
