Whisky Rating Launches New Forum for Sample Trade
On March 8, 2010 whisky-rating.com – a blog focused on concise tasting notes and ratings for all kinds of whisky – has launched a forum extension to their site dedicated to non-profit trading of whisky samples.
Registered users can list whiskies that they wish to offer for swapping or for sale on a per-sample basis. They also have the option of sharing entire bottles among other forum users as well as a possibility to list requests for specific whiskies. Also included in the forum is a section for the discussion of general whisky topics.
The Two Benefits of Trading Whisky Samples
1. Many whisky enthusiasts strive to taste as many different whiskies as possible. Obviously this is a difficult and costly task when you have to buy a whole bottle of each whisky you taste. Trading samples allows whisky lovers to maximize the number of whiskies that they can taste while minimizing the financial burden.
2. Trading samples is also an interesting option for less ambitious whisky drinkers. Acquiring whisky samples by swapping or purchase gives them a chance to try a specific whisky expression before making their buying decision for an entire bottle.
