About Me

I vary in appearance depeding on how old I am, where I have been brought up, and what my particular background is. I can range from golden yellow through amber and caramel to deepest mahogany. Sometimes malty, sometimes peaty, often a bit bite-y, I am always what you would call a complex entity.My oldest relatives can be traced back to Scotland, but now my family tree has beanched out to Ireland, the U.S. (particularly Kentucky), Canada and even a bit in Japan.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Generally I am good all by myself. If I happen to meet a bit of water (in any form), I have been told that I "open up" a bit. However, all around the world, I like to mix it up with a wide variety of different spirits.
