While I’m entering day 7 of quarantine, I thought it was high time for some genuine facts and openly share my “unpopular opinions<\/strong><\/em>” when it comes to whisky ! You’ve probably seen this trend all around YouTube a few months ago, and if you’re not familiar with YouTube videos, basically, the idea is to list your bahaviors\/preferences which are going against the crowd or what most people do\/think.<\/p>\n

\"R\u00e9sultat<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

–> I don’t own a single bottle of Port Ellen<\/strong><\/span>, Karuizawa or Brora and I’m perfectly fine with it. In fact, I even think Port Ellen is highly overrated haha<\/p>\n

–> If given the choice, I would pick a Classic Laddie over an Octomore<\/strong><\/span>, not because I don’t like peat (you know I do…) just because it’s a damn good whisky and I don’t think the number of PPM makes a dram better (no offense Octomores, you know I like you too!)<\/p>\n

–> I’m not part (and don’t want to be part) of any club or “member” society<\/strong><\/span> whatsoever. I don’t even participate in discussions on whisky online groups. I don’t enjoy the idea of a “closed circle” in any way (and I really HATE those groups on Facebook, like really.)<\/p>\n

–> I ABSOLUTELY ADORE over-the-top “one off” or “world-first” innovations<\/strong><\/span> even when they look or sound very gimmicky. Experimentation sounds just too exciting.<\/p>\n

–> I would never<\/strong><\/span> order a Japanese whisky in a whisky bar<\/p>\n

–> I don’t read Whiskyfun<\/strong><\/span>, because I most of the time can’t buy the drams reviewed, and yes, I don’t find it any fun at all (no offense to the writers of course, just I’m not the target)<\/p>\n

–> I’ve never smoked a cigar<\/span>,<\/strong> and I really don’t intend to change that.<\/p>\n

–> I don’t have a flask<\/strong> <\/span>(I mean, when would I use a flask anyway ?)<\/p>\n

–> I open each and every bottle<\/strong><\/span> I buy or receive. Temptation…<\/p>\n

–> I’m a sucker for bottle designs<\/span>.<\/strong> Sometimes, I pick a bottle because they simply look great (also called “Instagram syndrome”)<\/p>\n

–> I couldn’t watch<\/strong> <\/span>more than 5\u00a0 minutes of “Whisky Galore”<\/p>\n

–> I’m more excited by wood exploration<\/strong><\/span> than excessive levels of PPM (go on carpenters!)<\/p>\n

–> I would always suggest putting a few drops of water in your dram… But actually I don’t do it often myself<\/strong><\/span> and I freaking love CS whiskies.<\/p>\n

–> I don’t know shit<\/strong><\/span> about whisky & cheese pairings : I’m allergic to lactose.<\/p>\n
