Since a trip to Ireland in 2017 and a visit to Tullamore DEW, I have been fascinated by the water of life and (like many others) have gradually gotten into the subject. Since I like to share my fascination with whisky and whiskey with others, I created the Instagram channel schwarz_mit_whisky at the end of 2023, where I still regularly share my pictures and experiences today. The best thing about whisky for me is the variety; I'm always on the lookout for new bottlings, crazy finishes and nice people who share my passion.
