John Fegan

Editor, Uisge Beatha

Hailing from the land of haggis and deep-fried Mars bars, it was inevitable that John would find his way towards whisky: Cambus grain whisky, peat and the no-longer-available Isle of Jura Superstition among his first loves. He has been running Whiskipedia.com in its current guise since around 2020, and edits Uisge Beatha.
