The journey so far

When I took my first steps into the world of premium spirits, I knew I wanted to combine my passion for writing with this new-found interest in whiskies. I thought it would be fun to note down my thoughts and ideas about a specific whisky that I was drinking, and I enjoyed looking up extra information about the distillery, their story, and the ideas behind the brand.

I wrote for another blog for a while, and now decided to start up my own blog. My goal is to talk about whisky, obviously, although I do not want to be pedantic about the topic. Yes, I realize that using a word such as ‘pedantic’ ironically turns me into someone who *is* pedantic. I hope you can appreciate the irony.

With this blog, I would like to inform people about whisky in a ‘down-to-earth’-way, not focusing too much on the intricate details of every step in the creation of a new expression, nor trying to compare certain expressions to previous expressions of the same brand. Instead, I would like to go back to the core business of every whisky blog: tasting various whiskies, and providing recommendations for those who are looking for them. Starting up a small community of like-minded individuals might also be worth working on.

As of 2026, I have turned this blog into a gallery of photos I’ve taken at spirits-focused events. All previous blog posts can be found under the “ARCHIVE” tab.

The aim is to continue to post photos of different events I attend, both as a spirits enthusiast as well as the Belgian brand ambassador for the KYRÖ DISTILLERY COMPANY.

Welcome to The Campfire Dram. I hope you stay a while.
