For this first post let’s have a Whiskey Taster’s Introduction on who we are and what we are trying to do. We figure if you are going to start coming here regularly and seeing our content you might as well know ahead of time what we are about.
Basics
We call ourselves the Whiskey Tasters depending on how lazy we are being on any given day. We’re a group of friends who got tired of going to different whisky tasting events and feeling like we weren’t getting much out of the experience. We’d go to random events pay 50$ or more and get tiny little samples and a few little bites of food. With events having 20 or more people we wanted more. We wanted to actually get time to enjoy the whiskey we were tasting. We wanted to choose the bottles we got to sample and decide how much we would spend at any given get together.
The goal of the site is the same as the meetings. It’s to make the world of whiskey friendly to the every person. Bring more people into the world and show them how to enjoy it. We mean enjoy as an average person not someone with years of tasting experience and know-how. We want people to not be afraid and gain a basic understanding. We are by no means experts just amateurs who enjoy having a glass of whiskey
Whiskey Differences
We want people to get a deeper understanding of what the differences is between Scotch, Whisky and Bourbon. There are many sub categories to each type of whiskey and even different countries have different types of whiskey’s. Our goal is also to learn and experience the differences of them all. It’s a learning experience for us and we want to pass that along to everyone.

Where To Start And Where We’re Going
We make it simple for ourselves. We go out read up on what we are trying and see what people say are the tastes and smells that are part of each bottle or glass we try. When we have all our notes we see if we can find the same flavors. Sometimes it is easier then others but it’s fun to try.
Going forward we hope to bring our tasting notes on all everything we try directly to this site and pretty much anything whiskey related.
So we hope you enjoy the ride!
