Yeap, a 3-year-old 1s-fill sherry-matured whisky can be way darker than a 12-year-old ex-bourbon-cask nectar and still… You may prefer the second one who knows?<\/p>\n

“Haha, you guys working in the whisky industry, you must be so drunk all the time, that’s not healthy”<\/em><\/strong>: First of all, drinking whisky doesn’t necessarily means “drinking everyday\/drinking a lot\/binge drinking”. Let me introduce you to the concept of Slow Drinking… Has it ever occured to you that people may be willing to appreciate whisky for the sake of the product and not as a way of getting pissed? Neither did I when I was 17… But then I grew-up and figured out that hangovers were getting less and less bearable<\/del>\u00a0that whisky could\/should be appreciated the same way as a fine meal, even paired with a fine meal! You don’t have to make it sound all so boring “yay, it takes me 30 minutes to drink 3cl of whisky paired with a toast of smoked salmon blabla snobby bullshit”<\/em>. Think about this as “Art De Vivre”, and I am French, trust me I know what I’m talking about (ok, chauvinistic minute is over!).\u00a0<\/em>We may be living in a world that encourages us to eat chia seeds and engage in 30-day squat challenges, there’s still a space for fine spirits in that world as there’s still a space for greasy burgers on the go. So yes, you can indulge in a glass of whisky and then go running a marathon, you can attend a whisky festival and have an Aca\u00ef bowl for breakfast. It’s all a matter of balance, company and self-motivation. Enjoying a glass of good whisky 3 days\/week doesn’t make me a reckless alcoholic.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

This second edition is sponsored by my hairdresser (Myth N\u00b03), a random guy met at a whisky tasting last month (Myth N\u00b02) and a fellow whisky enthusiast advising his friend while whisky shopping in Edinburgh …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6160,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[936],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6297"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6297"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6297\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6320,"href":"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6297\/revisions\/6320"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewhiskylady.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
