About Us
The WhiskyGrotto.com is a non-profit brainchild of Johan Ronnestam – The Man in The Grotto, an entrepreneur in advertising and whisky lover from Sweden.
I have founded Ronnestam Innovative Communication. In the beginning of 2007 I found my self thinking about blogs on Whisky after meeting with The Macallan in Edinburgh. I was invited to talk about digital communication and possibly help The Macallan to strenghten their online presence.
On the flight back to Sweden I though…what the hell, why not start a blog and see what happens. I can always learn something from it. Said and done, I usually follow my ideas without further thought. Looking for digital brand names always involves making sure I can get a memorable domain name. Whisky Grotto…that will work.
Once home in Stockholm, I did some quick research…there wasn’t that many blogs out there that reported on news from the industry. That was to be my focus. I quickly registered the domain with Bluehost and installed a WordPress Blog on the server. Hmm, time to get moving.
Now, many month later The WhiskyGrotto is one of the most updated blogs online (manually that is) and I’ve learned hell of a lot about whisky that I didn’t know before. My passion has become an obsession. I’ve also learned to know some of the bloggers out there that do a lot of good the wonderful drink called Whisky, and I hope I’ll meet more of you guys sooner than later.
So, there it is. Now you know why I sometimes don’t write that good English and why I every now and then like to experience with imagery and technology.
Slainte!
Johan Ronnestam

Johan,
I really like your Whisky blog. Its a very interesting topic! I know that you have your own wordpress.org blog but I am the manager of a blog network called The FSW Blog Network and I am always looking for new and interesting bloggers to add to the network. Your blog or a similar blog would be a fantastic addition. If you are interested we could really use another alcohol themed blogger. Would you be interested in joining us? Some of the benefits of joining a network like ours is we help promote your blog and business and you are opened up to a new set of readers you may not have right now. We can also add links to your current blog as well as your company as well any any other links you would like to use, if you would like.
Here is a link to the other benefits to joining the FSW Blog Network: http://blog.foodservicewarehouse.com/blog-for-fsw...
You can view the many types of blogs at: http://blog.foodservicewarehouse.com/bloggers/
Our blog network is growing on a daily basis with over 4000 visits per month. We are still young but I think there is a ton of potential to make this blog network a fantastic resource for foodies and restauranteurs alike.
Please let me know what you think. I would be really excited to have a blogger like you on board!
Sincerely,
Kelly Noble

I think your blog is an excellent source of info and well put together. Your passion for whisky certainly comes through.
Like you I have a passion for whisky and I have a web site calledhttp://www.whiskeywise.com.
It is mainly aimed at the USA enthusiast, but I'm keen to share it with as many like minded people as I can.
Enjoy.
