This is the Whisky Point

How it all started

Dear Whisky Enthusiasts,

My name is Sean, a certified distiller and whisky ambassador originally from Antwerp, now residing in the serene forests of the Belgian Ardennes. My journey into the world of whisky began unexpectedly during a memorable evening in the Hollywood Hills. Accompanied by my best friend, we found ourselves in a vibrant gathering where Simon Le Bon played "Yellow Submarine" on the piano. Amidst this captivating atmosphere, I was handed a generous glass of whisky. The complex aromas and the warm sensation of that first sip ignited a passion within me that has only deepened over time.

From that pivotal moment, I embraced whisky as a central element of my life, exploring its diverse flavors during festive occasions and seeking out independent bottlers and distillers to refine my palate. This dedication led me to pursue formal certifications, including:

  • Certified Distiller of Alcohol
  • Certified Whisky Ambassador
  • Certified Advanced Whisky Ambassador

With the establishment of Whisky Point, my goal is to share this profound appreciation for whisky with fellow enthusiasts. Through curated photographs, insightful visits, and a thoughtfully selected collection in both our online and physical shops, I aim to create a community where the rich stories and traditions of whisky are celebrated.

Whisky, to me, is more than a beverage; it's a passion and a way of life. Whether savoring a single malt or a blend, with or without ice, the experience remains unparalleled. I invite you to join me in this journey, to explore and enjoy the multifaceted world of whisky.

 

Sláinte,

 

Sean
