Whiskey Crusaders
We are the Whiskey Crusaders! We review whiskies from around the world such as Bourbon, Scotch, Rye, Japanese, American, Irish, Canadian, Taiwanese, Indian and many others. We give nosing and tasting notes so that when you are on the whiskey aisle you can make an informed decision. This will help you to know the flavor profiles you enjoy so that you can explore new whiskies and join us on our crusade to share and visit as many whiskies as possible. We will be going on whiskey crusades to distilleries to meet the actual people who make the magic that all of us enjoy so much and to interview people in the industry to share their passion for whiskey with us.
