James Logan is an enthusiast with a background in food service and retail management. In his mid-20s, he developed a deep passion for whiskey-based drinks. After receiving a bottle of 15-year-old Scotch whisky as a birthday gift, he embarked on a yearly ritual of exploring a new brand of Scotch whisky. James thoroughly enjoys sampling each new brand and age, comparing them with previous selections. While not a whiskey or writing expert, he hopes his "average guy" perspective will resonate with those starting their whiskey journey, providing them with the guidance he missed out on.
