Here’s 5 more famous whisky lovers. Got any suggestions? Comment below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You probably know lots of people who love whisky<\/a>. We certainly do. Fine folks all of them. Some of them are quite well known in our circles, familiar faces on the \u2018gram or published authors even.<\/span><\/p>\n

But they\u2019re not celebrities. Proper A-listers. And that makes them RUBBISH in the eyes of the baying public. The pitchfork populace, who demand only superstars and bloody royalty if you don\u2019t mind too. We live to please, so if you want to hear about legitimately big names loving a drop of whisky, you\u2019re in the right place.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is part of a recurring series, with our <\/span>first five famous whisky lovers<\/span> already published on the blog<\/a>. There\u2019s more to follow, so if you haven\u2019t seen the celebrity drammer you admire, hold your sweet horses as they\u2019re probably on the way. Feel free to pitch any good ones in the comments, though.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Queen Victoria – most amused if it\u2019s all the same to you<\/b><\/h3>\n

One does not simply become a whisky powerhouse without a little help from royalty. Queen Victoria wasn\u2019t just partial to the odd dram \u2013 she played a role in popularising the stuff. After falling in love with the Scottish Highlands, she made whisky a staple at Balmoral, even endorsing the first Royal Warrant for Scotch<\/a>. Her preference? A tipple of Scotch mixed with claret. The original experimental bartender. Sans the tattoo sleeves and beard. We rate it. Why settle for one drink when you can have two at once?<\/span><\/p>\n
