John Simmonds

Having worked in some distinguished whisky bars in Edinburgh, I recently obtained my Diploma in the Art of Tasting Whisky from the Edinburgh Whisky Academy. Now based in the Midlands, I consider it my personal mission to prove that there is a whisky for everyone and ensure that everybody in the hospitality industry can get the best out of their spirit shelf.

I believe that whisky is the greatest drink on earth, underpinned by romance, legend and conviviality. Whether you're starting out on your whisky journey, or you're a seasoned consumer of the water of life, I can use my knowledge and experience to help you develop your passion.
