You may already be aware of The Balvenie Whisky Academy but i thought i would give it a mention for those of you who havent come across it.

The Balvenie Whisky Academy is a series of 35 films containing a total of 35 short films which offer expert insights and commentary on the world of single malt whiskies. So, whether you are at the start of your whisky journey, or is a relative expert, there is something for everyone.

William I joined up to Balvenies Warehouse 24 a while ago, i have viewed a few of the videos in the whisky academy, they are very good and great to watch in the evening with a dram. Have to say Balvenies website is probably one of the best whisky brand sites around, they have put a lot of effort into it.

I have looked through most of module one, covering the history of whisky with Charlie Maclean, it is very good, looking forward to viewing the other 3 modules.

There are a couple of good videos in module 3 featuring Sukinder Singh of The Whisky Exchange talking about collecting whisky and buying as an investment.

I joined up to warehouse 24 a while ago also, it would be good if they would make all the videos available on one dvd so you dont just have to watch it online.
