Harry Brennan @eurowhisky | eurowhisky.eu
Harry joins us as one of our international contributors. For him, it all started in 2014 with a bottle of Glenmorangie but the journey truly began after a visit to the Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh. Despite leaving the UK to complete his PhD in History, he couldn’t stay away from whisky very long and found himself behind the bar at renowned Scotch Malt Whisky Society Vaults. In 2022, he migrated to the Netherlands where he continues to collaborate with the SMWS. So far Harry has explored drams from over 800 distilleries and founded/hosts the Euro Whisky Podcast together with fellow SWE alumni and warehouse manager Stuart Ripper.
Johanne McInnis @whiskylassie | Books: Malt Whisky Yearbook 2023 & 2024, Contributor By day a civil servant, mom, sailor and fantastic cook but with one quick trip to her walk in closet she turns into the Whiskylassie. She has worn out many business cards: Tasting society president, story teller, master class presenter, judge and published writer and now she proudly adds Contributing Editor. She is a passionate whisky enthusiast, teacher, mentor and friend. Fun fact: Johanne sometimes experiences synaesthesia when nosing/tasting spirits.
Josh Ward @knowyourwhisky | @WhiskyHeathens
Josh is our resident whisky troubadour who loves to scamper his way through a world that’s full of tasty pleasures. Surrounded by tobacco smoke and peated scotch he’s a tall bottle of Ledaig or perhaps a Famous Grouse. Sitting in the pews while he stands at the pulpit are many a malt fanatic or bourbon drinker alike who all gather in fellowship. Don’t mistake his sermons for the rambling of a madman (although his look sort of fits the part) because this whisky heathen has a devotion worth noting through the golden stories he shares.
