Dear malt
mates
I hope you
have all had a good start into the New Year. In the last two weeks I had plenty to
celebrate. First I finished my bachelor thesis and handed it in. 3 Days later
was my 22nd birthday and the day after we celebrated Christmas Eve and
a week later New Year’s Eve. As you may already have expected this was a whisky
loaded few days for me. I hope you have all had some nice drinks over this time
and that there maybe were a few interesting bottles under the tree for Christmas.
As had to go to the library again today to study for my exams it got really boring so I thought it was about time to write a new blogpost. Being the egocentric prick that I am I couldn’t think of a better topic to write about than myself. Therefore I will tell you my whisky adventure so far.
As you may already know I started to drink whisky shortly after my 18th birthday. I’ve already stated in the last post that first me and my mates only drank some cheap blends on Ice to look though rather than because we genuinely enjoyed it. After my first taste of a Glenfiddich 12 years old I got more into it and after the first few sips of a Lagavulin 16 years old I got very serious about all things whisky.

I enjoyed
the rest of the Lagavulin that me and my friends had left in the weeks after
but I didn’t really know a lot about Scotch or whisky in general and I started
to read a lot about the topic. I read blogs and watched video tastings and the
more I got to know whisky the more I got curious.
