I really don't know how to explain this buzz and passion! Whisky live is keeping me on my toes, there is beautiful whisky flowing, men in kilts, bagpispes.... Every now and then a promo girl might say the wrong thing, but mainly there is a knowledgeable expert around to delve into the real nitty gritty. Did the Glen Grant distillery tour, and I was the wierdo in the corner asking all the technical questions... Men surrounding me wondering who is this slightly odd girl???? Then onto the The Macallan class, loved that!!!!! Real knowledge, real info, no bull! Just honest whisky info! Hello!!! Candice Heaven! Now in Rob Allenson's whisky class about the worlds best whisky, and once again, a little slice of heaven!!!

Whisky Live Festival!!!!!
I do enjoy celebrations: I love my birthday , and I love Christmas ( just to name a few) And people: I love Whisky Live Festival. I feel a bit like the night before my birthday, excited and waiting in anticipation…. Now, mind you, some people don’t understand my extreme excitement of this festival, as I have pretty much tried all the wonderful drams on offer. But it’s the fact that Cape Town gets to focus on whisky for 3 days straight, that there are going to be consumers who also get to taste wonderful drams, and will too start to fall for the beautifully enticing world of single malt whisky. This is the exciting element, education, taste exploration, quality not quantity!.
Tomorrow morning, bright and early starts my few days of whisky excitement, I will be meeting Gerry Tosh, Global Brand Ambassador ( and Head of Education)for Highland Park, one of my favourite drams…. Check out some of his stuff on YouTube, great! Later I will be doing training @ Bascule with Rob Sameuls , whisky maker from Makers Mark in the afternoon before I wonder over to Whisky Live.
On Thursday a more serious day as I attend a presentation by The Scotch Malt Whisky Society regarding rules and regulations of Scotch. And then my passion, I get to chat to women about whisky, and listen to Gerry Tosh present Highland Park to the “All4Women” readers….I will be popping to Whisky Live again, and I will be attending Rob Allenson’s Best Whiskies in the World workshop! OOOhhh, Candice is in her element!
