Welcome to Whisky Ride
I guess the first question you might be asking is why I called the site Whisky Ride? Well, as a new relatively new whisky drinker I have rapidly become fascinated with learning the history of Whisky, the amazing brands and expressions created along with the community who love to collect and taste such a wide variety of flavours.
As with any new hobby, there is always going to be plenty to learn and I wanted to document my journey of discovery and take you, the reader, along with me for the ride!
A little bit about me…I grew up in Sussex and currently live in Leeds, West Yorkshire which is located in Northern England (and happens to be around 7 hours drive from the distilleries in Speyside!) I am happily married with 2 teenage sons. I have a regular 9-5 job in the digital arena working in a large agency in partnership with some fairly well-known brands. I love to travel, spend time with my family and sometimes squeeze in 18 holes of golf when the weather permits. I look forward to the coming weeks and months as I get to explore more and more about the wonderful world of whisky.
I enjoy taking lots of pictures but I am still working on my photography skills so please excuse the generally amateur level images you will find across the site.
If you have any comments, feedback or anything at all to say then please use our contact form.
