Welcome to ‘The Whiskey Companion!’. I set this up initially to help people who want to get involved in whiskey, have a platform to express that interest through blogging about new releases, reviews and of course the experiences we have while sharing whiskey with loved ones.
My name is Carl and you can find me on Instagram and Twitter I’d be glad to chat whiskey and if you want to be featured just drop me a line!
I started my whiskey journey about 6 years ago when my dad introduced me to Jameson. I obviously didn’t get straight into it, I recoiled at the time from the alcohol burn, but since then it ignighted a passion that has led me from Dublin, visiting the Jameson Distillery and Teelings, down to Cork to visit the Midleton Distillery, and all the way to Kentucky to do part of the Bourbon Trail (Makers Mark, Michters, Angels Envy, Buffalo Trace to name a few!) I’ve been so intrigued at the different flavours you can get from taking the exact same liquid, and changing certain small things (such as length in the cask, size of cask, type of cask, area its aged, area in the warehouse its aged).
My aim is to help others on their journey, and learn from others on mine!
Sláinte!
Carl
