About Me

My photo
The Malt Desk
Denmark
My name is Claus Rasmussen. This is the 20th year on my whisky journey. It has led me far and wide, but mainly into scottish malts. That said, also whiskies from the rest of the world has been tried, but I always go back to scottish malts. I'm also head the local whisky club and have done so for the last 13 years with great success. If anyone wonders what my first malt was, it was Glenmorangie 10 back in Y2K.
