My name is Tim and I live in the Netherlands.
Since I do not want to update this page every year, I will not mention my age, but for legal reasons: It is far above the legal drinking age in my country.

I work with tech and digital content, and as such, I just could not help myself going online with my hobby: Whisky. Therefore this blog started as a fun hobby for me to combine two things.

All  bottles mentioned on this site have been bought by myself or have been gifted by friends/family. If that would change in the future (For collaboration, see the "contact me" on this page.), I will mention this in the post regarding the bottle.

Now about the name: Am I really a snob?
Some would say yes, others would say no. I do like to pretend I am. What I do know, is that the name started as a joke and stuck. Too late to change it now.
However, I will never judge someone mixing whisky with a cola, drinking it with ice, from a mug or buying within a certain price range.
That's just not OK. Everybody should just enjoy whisky in the way they like and are able to. And that also describes me the best:

Just a guy that enjoys whisky.  

When in lockdown, I spend, like most other people, much more time online than usual.
While browsing I got an advertisement promoting a "Whisky Ambassador" course.
Normally, I wouldn't consider something like this, because life was busy enough already. But this time, I was at home, in need of something more than Netflix and decided to go for it. And it kickstarted me into learning again. I got the course book and started reading. Next to the course, I started buying books, reading blogs, watching video's. I immersed myself into the big barrel of whisky stories. And loved every single part of it. But then I had the day of the exams. Yes, plural. First a test on the "theory", then a blind tasting test. The hard work I put into it rewarded me with two passed exams on the first try. So now I can call myself a certified whisky ambassador!

After the Whisky Ambassador, and joining some whisky clubs and a member of the SMWS, I still wanted to learn more.
Someone told me about the EWA, the Edinburgh Whisky Academy.
This fully online course took be back to studying and after serveral modules I did the test. And I passed!
So i can also claim a certificate in Scotch whisky!
