A New Way to Celebrate Our Global Whisky Passion BY MIKE BRISEBOIS
Whisky is = From the Scottish Highlands to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, from Japanese Distilleries to the emerging craft whisky scenes in Canada and New Zealand. It’s a spirit steeped in history and tradition that has captured the hearts and palates of enthusiasts everywhere which isn’t confined to any one region or culture. It truly is a global phenomenon that has persisted for many decades. Enthusiasts are = A diverse and passionate group that come different backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life, yet they all share the one common bond—the love for whisky and its unique ability to bring people together, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared experience. Storytellers are = Writers, photographers, and adventurers who are deeply passionate about whisky, the people who see it as a journey, a story just waiting to be shared and like myself, believe it’s not just drink. Versatility = Is the ability of whisky to be exquisitely sipped neat, on the rocks or playing a starring role in countless cocktails.
