Humble Beginnings...

Like more than a few good things in life, my whisky passion started with a dram, a dram of whisky on my wedding day. It was nothing fancy mind, just an aptly named “Founders Reserve”.  From there I dived deep into the whisky ocean, and went - like a lot of you I imagine - on a wonderful journey of discovery.  A journey not just of taste, places, and special moments in time...but of whisky people and their stories.

Whisky is a wonderful medicine. When treated with respect, it brings people together, and encourages community, sharing and enjoyment.  Whisky stimulates creativity and its appreciation. It can open up the heart and stir the soul. 


From just the three simple ingredients of barley, water, and yeast, and then through a romantic industrial - or even alchemical process - beautiful spirit emerges to be filled into casks, and rests there for time and wood to work their magic.  Later, sometimes much later, design & bottling occurs. Only then comes the special moment for us all to taste and discover this water of life.  

East Coast Whisky represents the continuation of this journey, into sharing with you what whisky is out there, the experiences and stories it brings, and the people it meets along its way.

There will be blogging, tastings, whisky meals, festivals, cask bottling, and more as we journey to maturation.

Our focus is coastal and local, as myself and the team are based in East Lothian and Edinburgh, Scotland. Yet we are open to all who form this global whisk(e)y community, near and far.

So welcome, pour yourself a #dramo'the day and enjoy!!!

You will also receive some tasting clues, the running order, and the Zoom link in the days before the event.

For international shipping please email or WhatsApp me to arrange.


There are limited places, so please book/reserve early to avoid disappointment.

You can also pay by bank transfer, contact me for the details, or by using REVOLUT @ecwhisky.


If this is your first East Coast Whisky tasting, please also email your name, address, & contact telephone number to dram@eastcoastwhisky.com Let me know if you want to join our WhatsApp community, which gives you early access and occasional discounts to these tastings, our tours and other live events.


As you only turn 50 once in this whisky life, I really wanted to share some of my favourites and in some of my good fortune, for instance in getting hold of that Glen Garioch 1988 32 year old!! Thank you for being part of this journey, whether you choose to join in or not.


Cheers,


Frederick
