This was a fun interview that made me reminisce about how I have progressed CopperCairn over the past 4 years. From a Whisky Brand Ambassador who was very green when it came to starting my own business to now dealing with all the highs and lows of running a company. It has certainly been a rollercoaster of a ride!

It's been a mad few months, but I am feeling incredibly fortunate to be fully immersed in the world of whisky every single day! As the founder of CopperCairn Whisky Experiences , I have the privilege of hosting whisky talks and curating whisky experiences that are truly one-of-a-kind. From tastings to immersive whisky experiences around Speyside and Scotland, every day is an adventure in the world of Scotland's liquid gold! Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting our third outing of Whisky Talks, this time in Glasgow with my partner in crime Fraser C. . What an electrifying atmosphere! It's truly inspiring to witness the passion people have for whisky and to share insights with fellow whisky enthusiasts. Then there was the unforgettable moments we created at our Spirit of Speyside events! It's experiences like these that make every drop of whisky truly special and make me greatful for choosing this industry to work in. Last but definitely not least being part of the unbelievable launch of Wildmoor Whisky in the highlands of Scotland and Singapore. Cheers to the whisky world and all the amazing people who enjoy it and work in it 🥃✨

Highlights from the weekend's whisky adventure, showing some lovely folk from North Carolina the 50 Shades of Speyside in the CopperCairn-mobile. It would have been very remiss not to share a dram of my all time favourite Craigellachie bottling with them under the Craigy Bridge, and luckily our pre-ordered day of sunshine arrived promptly (with some wild intermissions...) Check out our new whisky adventure packages for your next Scotland whisky jolly, or if you have any pals or colleagues planning a wee trip! - https://lnkd.in/eYgiYn9U CopperCairn Whisky Experiences #coppercairn #whiskyexperiences #scotland #speyside #whiskyadventures #whiskyfun #craigellachie #whiskytours #scottishwhisky
