About Whisky Islander
I’m Scottish, so that’s my first excuse for loving whisky.
That being said, my journey with the water of life began in Japan, while I was working for the largest Scotch importer in the country. After leaving Japan I joined dekanta.com as a whisky specialist and got to put my Japanese language skills to good use by flying over to Japan frequently, visiting the distilleries, and building connections with Japanese whisky producers and enthusiasts as a journalist and whisky specialists.
Nowadays I write for some great publications on whisky, drinks, food and lifestyle. I’m based in Taiwan which is another wonderful whisky market, and spend my time doing events, consulting, and other projects around Asia.
I’ve been featured in Forbes, Playboy, Financial Times, Nikkei Asian Review, Japan Times, GQ, Wine Enthusiast, Liquor.com and many more.
