Hooray, first release

I am pleased to let you now that my first release of chwisgi.com has been released into the wild.

What is chwisgi.com and what is that funky name you might ask? I’ll tell you in just a second.

First I want to present myself. I am Jens, just a guy who likes whisky and lives in Stock­hom, Swe­den. For about a year ago I had an idea to start a whisky com­mu­nity. My vision was a com­mu­nity that had both infor­ma­tion and facts about dis­til­leries and whiskies from around the globe. At the same time I wanted the site to be a great com­mu­nity where peo­ple like myself could dis­cuss and rate great whiskies — Today I released a small part of my vision.

At chwisgi.com you can read, com­ment and rate most of the con­tent. You don’t need to sign up to do this. If you do sign up you get the pos­si­bil­ity to edit and add own con­tent to the site. The idea I have is that every­one can con­tribute to chwisgi.com. If every­one shares their knowl­edge I hope that the con­tent will be updated and the site will feel “alive”.

So what is that funky name, well it’s quite easy, it’s welsh and means whisky. Welsh is a gaelic dialect which is talked in west­ern United King­dom — in Wales. In fact, the old­est claim for the exis­tence of a dis­tilled alco­holic spirit in the British Isles comes not from Ire­land, nor from Scot­land, but from Wales.

So go and sign up and get started. If you have any ques­tions, just add a com­ment below or mail me at jens@chwisgi.com

Now I’m off to cel­e­brate with my newly bought Clynel­ish 1974 / 23 Year old whisk…

PS. If you are in Stock­holm this week­end or next I must rec­om­mend Stock­holm Beer & Whisky fes­ti­val. I’ll be the there the 20^th and 26^th and I’ll be wear­ing a black chwisgi.com t-shirt, if you see me don’t be shy, come by and say hi! DS.
