Recommended whisky reading

Like many whisky writers I know, I read tonnes of other whisky blogs and websites every week, day, well, hour. Below is a list of recommended whisky reading, basically the sites I not only read the most, but also enjoy the most. 

My criteria for acceptance and addition to this recommended whisky reading list are very similar to my GreatDrams editorial principles, they are thus:

  1. Great writing first and foremost
  2. Interesting content
  3. Visual elements that punctuate the verbal
  4. Having a sense of humour
  5. Writing for readers, not for yourself / the industry

Those who have made it on so far are, in no particular order (honest)…
