Viking Awards 2017

2017 have been a great year, both personal and whisky-wise. I have tasted many different whiskies, reviewed 206 on my blog, been to Islay, spend a couple of hours with Jim McEwan in connection with an interview about the new Ardnahoe Distillery, and I could keep going.

I will continue the busy schedule in 2018, many new reviews will come online, and already this weekend I will be going to Scotland again.

Here is the Viking Awards for 2017 (click to see review)
