Anosmia and ageusia are two words that plague Blair Bowman. This young Scotsman, who works as a whiskey taster, has been held at home in Edinburgh since the pandemic broke out for fear of suffering any of these two symptoms associated with covid: loss of smell and taste. For Bowman, preventive isolation is “your choice” and as such, he is “happy to do so” because “there is still risk.”
This 31-year-old Scot helps people all over the world “find incredible whiskeys:” For many years I have traveled Asia, America, Europe & mldr; everyone “and had already planned in 2020 destinations such as China, Japan or Dubai”, but “obviously all that had to be canceled.” He currently works to advise his clients through video calls: “Imagine that one of the symptoms was going blind. Artists, photographers, designers …, no one within that industry” would like to “take any risk of catching the virus.”

Since March 2020 their work meetings are telematicss: With tastings, “we send the customer the samples, and then I can help them,” explains Bowman, who boasts a substantial client base of ambassadors and royalty.
“I’m incredibly lucky to have a job that doesn’t feel like work, he says. I used to get paid to travel around the world and talk about whiskey; now the same, but sitting at home.”
