Did you know that today (16th May) is WORLD WHISKY DAY?
IT'S THE best day of the year for whisky lovers the world over.
May 16 represents a momentous date in the calendar for anyone with a passion for the world’s greatest alcoholic spirit.
World Whisky Day is the brainchild of whisky consultant and author Blair Bowman, who first founded it back in 2012 as a way to unite whisky lovers all around the world.
'“World Whisky Day is about making whisky fun for all, not about being exclusive or prescriptive. All you need to participate is a bottle of whisky/whiskey – whatever variety, however you enjoy it.
“The only rule is to drink responsibly!"
And for those of you who love a quiz - there's still time to take part in the 'Big Fat Whisky Quiz'' - How much do you really know about your uisce beatha ('water of life')? :
As part of the celebrations, Blair will be joined by whisky-loving friends Chris White, Joseph Trotter and Matthew Cordiner for a ‘lockdown’ version of their annual Big Fat Whisky Quiz, taking place at 8pm BST (UTC+1) on World Whisky Day.
Anyone wanting to take part in teams of up to five can register here with some of the proceeds from the event going to The Drinks Trust.
Alternative, the quiz will be livestreamed from Edinburgh on the World Whisky Day Facebook page.
Slàinte Mhaith!
