The main focus of this site is in helping you choose your next whisky through a proper scientific meta-analysis of whisky flavour and quality. But before we get into the results – and an explanation of the methodology and validations that I have developed – I thought it would be helpful to provide some background information on whiskies more generally.

In this section, I will explore some of the key concepts in whisky production – and how they differ across countries. This is actually important to clarify up-front, as it informs how the final results are structured in my searchable database.
