About Guillermo Barrios

Hello, I’m Guillermo Barrios, and my passion for whisky began amidst the vibrant social scenes of Latin America, where Scotch Blends are revered as symbols of status.

My Story

Welcome to the Whisky Knights. Let’s raise a glass to exploration, camaraderie, and the timeless allure of whisky.

King & Spalding Event

2013

Founding Whisky Knights

Driven by a thirst for knowledge, I founded the Whisky Knights in 2013. What began as a club focused on the elegance of single malts soon evolved into an exploration of diverse whisky categories, including Bourbon, Irish, Canadian, and Japanese whiskies. This evolution allowed our members to cultivate a comprehensive appreciation for all things whisky and discover their personal favorites.

2000

Discovering Single Malt

In the early 2000s, my palate was forever changed when I discovered the complexities of Single Malt Scotch. The unforgettable experience of tasting my first Islay malts, Lagavulin 16 and Laphroaig 10, ignited a deeper passion within me. These remarkable whiskies opened my eyes to a world of intricate flavors and aromas, propelling my interest in whisky to new heights.
