Henward Tan
Contributor

Henward is based in New Zealand with a fixation on Scotch whisky (pork and cigars), in particular single malt whisky. A naturally obsessive person, Henward tends to go down the rabbit hole with things (to the dismay of his wife) and that journey has led him to the wonderland of independently bottled (IBs) scotch whisky and ‘off the beaten path’ bottlings. Henward’s choices are about experiences. Outside the world of whisky and cigars Henward owns and operates a social media management company with his wife based in NZ. You can keep track of Henward and his shannanigans on Instagram or YouTube @eat_smoke_drink.
