Ex Army Officer, currently buisiness software implementor. A Jack Daniel's firend for many a year... and the available bourbon now and then. Wine preference the recent years - Cypriot wines are getting better every year- but I discovered red wine makes me sleepy...soooo I thought I'd give Scotch a chance... What a never ending expirience!!! Started off with blends and for the last 2 years I'm discovering my single malts. Currently on a "Trip" around Islay...

Location: Limassol, Cyprus

Favourite whisky(s): Jura, Lagavulin, Macallan, Glenfiddich
