Sinea first started out in the whisky industry at the tender age of eighteen. A self-confessed whisky geek who managed to get away with writing a master’s dissertation on Scotch whisky distilleries, she still can’t quite believe that she gets paid to talk about whisky all day.

He is now living the dream traveling the world and expanding his palate with each new dram. “I have no idea how to make a Magazine, I just wanted an excuse to drink whisk(e)y” - John Luke Burke.

Luke has been making an almighty nuisance of himself since the mid2000’s, as he pesters distillers, retailers and distributors on the finer points (and price) of fine Whiskey. He can be found lurking on the margins of Whiskey Shows and Tastings in Dublin, and further abroad (when permitted by The Authorities).
