I was born in England and went to work in oil and gas industry almost 30 years ago.  I have lived in the UK, USA, Africa, Singapore and Dubai and am now back in Houston, Texas. I always enjoyed whisky but my passion really began after living in Aberdeen in 2009 and discovering and exploring distilleries, originally in nearby Speyside, eventually travelling all over the United Kingdom and Ireland in search of the water of life. I describe my whisky tasting skills as “not terrible” on a good day.
