About us
It was in 2007 when we first encountered a bottle of genuine single malt whisky. A gentle Dalwhinnie 15 year old from the Scottish Highlands it was. In hindsight, a real stroke of luck, as we randomly picked the bottle from the supermarket shelf and it captivated us. A few drams later, we began researching how whisky is actually made, what makes a good whisky, and in particular, we searched for a whisky bar near us that we wanted to visit that very evening.
Who are we?
We are Marcel and Sascha, two whisky-enthusiastic friends. 19 years ago now, we began our journey through the world of whisky. While our tasting notes now number several hundred entries, it remains a joy to taste a new bottle or even just a sample.
Sascha vintage 1988
Prefers peaty and sherry aromas and feels at home in the Islay whisky world taste-wise. He can also get excited about bourbons and rye
whiskeys.
When tasting, is very focused on the technical side.
Since 2022, we've been documenting our tasting notes here on WHISKY:EDITION. We want to identify the best whiskys for you, but also for ourselves, provide inspiration, and report on interesting facts and background information about the water of life.
Why do we write?
Whether from Ireland, Scotland, Japan, or Germany, whether standard bottling, distiller's edition, or independent bottling: The variety of whiskys has become so vast that it's hard to keep track or even find a starting point.
We'd like to share our years of experience and the many treasures we've discovered with you, because whisky thrives on exchange, stories, and experiences. When whisky lovers come together, it's about company and community, about inspiration, and about taking and giving time.
One appreciates the perfected craftsmanship while another views the fascinating spirit from a scientific perspective. A third loves simply being able to relax with a dram, and a fourth sees whisky as a cultural asset and collects exclusive rarities with character. This is how whisky remains the most versatile spirit in the world.
Whether beginner or connoisseur, bourbon lover or Scotch collector - everyone finds a place in the world of whisk(e)y. That's why whisky is our passion and why we write.
