Prelude to a prequel

I'm just about to write a short introduction to this blog, in the form of a brief explanation of its initial purpose and conception.

As you may have guessed from the title, the inspiration for this blog is a particular variety of ardent spirit. Certain hawkeyes amongst you may also have reached the deduction that the spirit to be discussed originates in Scotland, owing to the spelling of said. This is not quite correct, as the items under discussion will not be constricted by geography insomuch as their value. However the initial focus of this blog will be to present several short series on whiskies distilled in Scotland, for the purpose of reference and hopefully amusement of anyone who cares to peruse the explorations of a whisky "newbie".
