Welcome to my journey to become a whisky connoisseur. Currently I consider myself more of an enthusiast than anything else, but that will change in time. Hopefully with you coming along for the ride.
So...what the heck is a "Maunche" anyway? Well, not to put too fine a point on it, the Order of the Manche (or manche) is an award given in the living history group I belong to for exceptional display of talent and knowledge in one of the Arts and Sciences categories, or for passing knowledge in several categories. For me it's kind of a litmus test to see if I truly have the knowledge necessary to take this passion of mine to the next level...whatever that level may be.
In speaking with people already inducted in the order I received some truly helpful input on how to achieve my goal. In the coming months I will be designing backdrops to use during my lectures as well as purchasing a still to demonstrate the art/science of distilling. They also recommended I create a site where people can ask questions or simply add to their own knowledge. That is where I am at right now.
My vision is to share what I know about whisky in a manner that everybody can easily understand, to try a variety of whiskies that you yourself may encounter and give my modest opinion on it.
Remember folks, the point of a journey is not merely to arrive at your destination. It's the accumulation of all the experiences between the start and finish that truly define the trip. So, here's to enjoying the ride!
