Women in Whisky

We've found an increasing number of Whisky Distilleries hiring women for the job of Master Blender. It started with Balvenie, Diageo and even Bowmore... Did you know that Cardhu was run and managed by women? During our recent visit to Cardhu, we learnt their story of feminism at its best - how Helen Cumming would …

Takao – Flashback to 2018!

We are getting hyped up for this year's Takao in Taiwan! In this post, we'll give you some whisky fair tips and a peak of what we saw last year... One of the highlights of Takao is going from booth to booth and getting a good taste of the bottles on display. We recommend bringing some …

Happy New Year from Whisky Wonder!

A few of the fun things we got up to in December - Ardbeg Club's special tasting and Takao Whisky Fair in Taiwan! We heard so many good things about Takao from our friends at WhiskyGeeks, we wanted to see for ourselves this year. Taiwan is one of our favourite destinations for good food, some of …

AD Rattray – history and whisky in a bottle!

The Gem of Kirkoswald, an independent bottler with a story linked to two historical whisky families - the Morrisons and the Walkers. This brand has quickly become one of our favourites!

Glenfiddich – Experimental Series

I found it refreshing to see the latest Experimental Series from Glenfiddich, one of the most well-known and respected brands of Whisky. If you think about Whisky, most of us would imagine a distinguished old man, lounging in an armchair, with a dram of whisky and maybe a cigar. Not that this is a bad …

Glenfiddich Live

I was excited to attend my first Glenfiddich event to meet the man himself, the regional brand ambassador, Matthew Ferguson-Stewart. I've heard that Matthew is a strong proponent of Whisky education and was keen to share my idea of Whisky Wonder with him. Glenfiddich Live was held at William Grant and Sons' very cool office: Matthew …

Tomatin Distillery Visit

Tomatin is a lesser known brand in Asia. This is also because the bulk of their production goes into blended whisky. Nonetheless, having read some excellent reviews online, we signed up for the Single Cask Experience. Our two hour tour with our guide, Rosemary exceeded all our expectations! Throughout our tour, Rosemary was especially hospitable and shared …
