Tao of Whisky

Whisky and Tao

Those who know, do not speak. 

Those who speak, do not know.

~Lao Tzu

Why Whisky?

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.  The Name that can be named is the the eternal Name."  ~ Lao Tzu


One cannot readily explain the reasons. The taste of whisky on your tongue is internal to the self. The verbalization of the experience will be lost on others.  Feel it. Taste it. 

"Can you cleanse your inner vision until you see nothing but light?" ~ Lao Tzu

After a sip of whisky, the eyes close as visions of the flavors burst into the conscious mine. The light overwhelms, cleansing the being. This is the Way of Whisky. 

Forward

How do we look back in order to move forward? That has been the question that has kept me pondering for the past year. 

The Tao is based on the Way, the path forward. 

This journey will begin in the past but will bring to the present.

Stravaig 

To aimlessly wander. 

Create experiences based on the Way, letting natures flow direct the path. 

Whisky is the water of life. Uisge Beatha. Whisky follows the Way while the water follows the flow.

Tao is Whisky. Whisky is Tao.
