I'm a North East Scotland based whisky enthusiast on a mission to make our national spirit enjoyable to all through immersive events. 🥃

Goodbye Glen Garioch 🥃

This 1980s GG was a surprise for me. I confess to never having enjoyed the current expressions of the founders reserve or the 12. I can’t gel with them at all.

This, however was a real gem. I’m glad i got to share it with so many guests at my tastings.

Glen Garioch’s spirit underwent significant change during the 1970s, which makes its 1980s bottlings especially intriguing. Early releases from the decade often highlight the distillery’s smoky character, while later ones lean more towards the fruit-driven style that emerged after 1975. Whatever the balance, these whiskies consistently deliver the herbal, waxy Highland profile that makes them so enjoyable.

I’ll maybe find the right time and place for a founders reserve and 12. I’m maybe just drinking them in the wrong place, wrong time, or the wrong people. 🤷🏻‍♂️

As winter draws closer, I’m opening my diary for corporate whisky experiences across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

Whether it’s a festive celebration, client thank-you, or team-bonding evening, a guided whisky tasting is a unique way to bring people together — and I’m grateful to see that reflected in the feedback I’ve been receiving.

⭐ With consistent 5-star reviews now appearing on my Google page, it’s clear these tastings are striking the right balance: engaging for newcomers, rewarding for enthusiasts, and always about more than just what’s in the glass.

Spaces for winter 2025 are limited, so if you’d like to give your team or clients something memorable this season, now’s the time to get in touch.

🥃 Whisky is for drinking, not hoarding — and it’s best enjoyed in good company.

Delighted to have been published last weekend in the Press and Journal up here in Aberdeenshire again.

This weeks focus was specifically on Cadenheads and its history in the heart of Aberdeen.

Special thanks to Brian Stormont of DC Thomson and Sophia McLaren of Cadenheads for help in realising the article.

Listen, let’s clear this up before the Kilt Police kick my door in. 👮‍♂️
Those weren’t leggings, jeggings or pantaloons – they were kilt socks. A perfectly legal move north of Hadrian’s Wall.

The kilt? Straight off the Royal Mile. Not an Amazon ‘50-quid special’, though I’ll admit I didn’t get the Prime delivery tartan upgrade.

And as for my Italian side – my great-grandad was an immigrant, from Mussolini’s Italy - and literally the Italian Consul in Dundee, so if anyone’s allowed to mix a bit of pasta with their porridge, it’s me.

So I’ll respectfully decline the blasphemy charge.
Guilty only of wearing a kilt properly (maybe lacking a sporran, i understand), and maybe looking a wee bit too good doing it.

📢 EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH 🎉

Davis Gonnella 🥃⭐️

As recognition for Davis’ hard work, we have generously rewarded him with an all-expenses-paid weekend in London — including travel, hotel, and a jam-packed itinerary. Thursday kicks off with the Caledonian Sleeper, arriving on Friday Morning, then in the evening he and his wife will be going to see Coldplay live!!
With music still ringing in thier ears on Saturday, we have booked them spaces on a tour of Bimber Distillery 🥃🇬🇧

Sunday is a free roaming time but we have given them some cash ready to enjoy a fine lunch in our nation’s capital.

Thanks for all your hard work, Davis!

(Continuing Professional Dramming 😏)

(This is a roundabout way of telling you I’ll be on holiday from Thursday until Monday, so be aware that i won’t be monitoring my business inbox or whatsapp. Thanks!)

🧐 PUB QUIZ 🧐

I had an awesome time lastnight hosting the pub quiz at the Stag Hotel in Banchory.

I was so chuffed to be asked to come and host by Ged. I’ve been asked to come back next month to do it all again.

Lets talk about this weekend…

Yesterday, i hosted a whisky tasting in Lhanbryde - deep into Speyside, Malt Whisky Country. When i was picking the line up, i thought “lets go for something a little different…” and rocked up with a Bimber Distillery Klub Release number 4 and Forest Distillery Ltd Blend 26 amongst a few famous Scottish names, and I refused to keep it a secret.

The lads were initially bemused, frustrated - being the patriots they are. They eventually came round and some of them even had seconds!!!

Last night: Whisky tasting in Lhanbryde.
Today: MC at the school fair.
Tonight: hosting a pub quiz.
Tomorrow: Selling Doughnuts at Taste of Garioch 2025

Busy? Aye. Loving it? Absolutely.

I’m already taking bookings for October, and I’m hugely grateful for all the support that’s come my way. It means the world to be able to do what I love, meet new faces, and share a few drams (and laughs) along the way.

If you’d like to book a tasting, event, or whisky session, just drop me a message — I’d love to make it happen.

Thanks
