Remember a couple of weeks ago we said that we were going to start a new series of blog posts about writers and their love of whisky? Well here it is. This Authors and Whisky series is going to look at writers (and musicians, artists and anybody in the public eye, really) and their love of the […]
Here at Whisky Foundation, we’re often a little guilty of focusing on all things Scottish (and, on occasion, American), but the international independent scene is vibrant and innovative, and deserves attention. So, this week, we’re going to start a new series of blog posts that look at independent bottling scenes from around the world. […]
We know, we know. We’re a whisky blog. What are we doing writing a whole post about beer? Well, whisky and beer are kindred spirits. Cousins, you could say. (And beer aged in a Scotch cask is even closer in spirit to whisky.) And, of course, we’ve spoken (lots of times) before the link […]
A few weeks ago, we told you about a few of our favourite whiskies in the Whisky Foundation store: Rest and Be Thankful bottlings.

This month, Kingsbury step into the limelight. In case you missed it, here’s why we started this series: At Whisky Foundation, […]
If you’re anything like the team here at Whisky Foundation, you’re a fan of beer as well as whisky. If that is the case, then you might have noticed the recent trend of hazy IPAs cropping up all over the place.

Every so often, we hear a whisky tale so good that we just have to tell you here on the Whisky Foundation blog. This story isn’t just a great anecdote, but it’s full of other little titbits about the whisky industry at large and – best of all – ends with a message that […]
