I am in love with the world of whisky since 2021 after the first films about testing and discovering flavors. the story began with a bottle of Talisker 10, earlier of course brands such as glendifich or johnie walker appeared but it was Talisker that opened my eyes to the diversity of flavors and scents. currently with over 800 whiskies tried and head over heels in love with the climates of islay. finds his flavors in bottles such as ardbeg or lagavulin but I also willingly reach for peated whiskies such as glendronach sweet fruity climates of Speyside.
I am currently looking for a variety of flavors in an independent bottler and of course looking for “white crows” of the world of whisky and whenever the opportunity arises tries bottles from distilleries called unique. privately a happy husband for several years, living in the Netherlands working in the production department holding the position of team leader of the team. Music has always been very important to me, so I also enjoy a good drama accompanied by my favorite creators.
