While individual tastes naturally vary, no single preference is superior; each holds intrinsic value. Although I keep an appreciation for all whiskey varieties, I possess a particular fondness for bourbon and rye. My reviews will reflect honest, expertly informed opinions; however, perspectives may vary, and that diversity of opinion is both expected and welcomed.
