I Am 5 Live
On the 29th of September 2019, I released my first review to Youtube. At that time...I don't know if I had still been planning to be reviewing on Youtube, 5 years later but...here I am.
A lot has changed in that time. A global pandemic made the world of whisky a very different place. A lot of us relied on Youtube and other social medias, for our fix of interaction. Many whisky fans and reviewers grew from this. Many have since realised that this media is very time consuming and so, took a "back seat!" Some left, never to return. A lot has changed indeed.
But...some of us dug our heels in and said "so what, if my channel doesn't have the largest following! Who cares what people think of me! I started this because I enjoyed it! Whisky is my passion!"
I am immensely proud to be part of this fantastic community. And if I have the time and energy to do it...well then this channel will carry on forever!
Thank you all. You lot are amazing!!
