European whiskies are emerging as the next wave… Bringing old world context, pride in local resources, new techniques and experiments.
Many of these distilleries are producing distinctly different whiskies gaining increasing appreciation and attention.
While impossible to buy in India, over the years through creative international purchases and kind samples, our tasting adventures have expanded to explore European whiskies…
And then I moved to Europe, and our explorations exploded!
