Whisky is like Sudoku. Or, depending on which pursuit you got involved with first, Sudoku is just like whisky. Sound a bit far-fetched? The two have more in common than you think…
Contrary to its appearance, Sudoko is not a maths puzzle or an exercise in arithmetic. Despite the array of numbers and a crossword-like pattern, it’s merely a logic puzzle based on nothing more than elimination. The puzzle is solved by eliminating incorrect possibilities as you fill in the blanks. Sudoku’s similarity with whisky becomes apparent when you look at the journey an individual goes on as they transition from novice to expert.
