My mother's family, the Wisharts, came to Canada from the Orkneys in the early 1800's, to work for the Hudson's Bay Company. Other Orcadian ancestors, the Spences,
Sutherlands, Inkstaters, Halcros and Honeymans had arrived in Canada earlier, for the same reason. Whisky was the sad undoing of many of them; probably the reason so many of my family became abstainers, and why I myself drank
very little until recently. Now in my 52nd year, I began tasting malts seriously about two years ago. Prior to that my intake of alcoholic beverages was about 24 bottles of beer and a 750 ml bottle of Johnnie Walker Black
per year. I now try to drink malts, in moderation, about 5 evenings per week. This, on doctor's orders. Apparently whisky is as good for you as red wine, and there are no nasty after effects. My palate is
still developing, and my favourite whiskies change from time to time, but the island malts have been consistently on my shelves since I discovered them. |

T
hese E-Reporters are not just 'professionals' and 'experts', mind you!
The goal of this part of my site is collecting as many different perspectives and insights as possible. This means that
there's room for the experiences and opinions of both curious beginners and seasoned imbibers. Roman from Israel has just recently discovered single malt whisky, while Craig from Australia is a genuine expert who has won several single malt
tasting awards. Each foreign correspondent offers his own unique point of view.
