where spirits meet story

I'm not just another whisky educator. I'm someone who sees colours and stories in every dram, and I've spent nearly a decade learning how to translate that into experiences other people can access. Using professional sensory techniques adapted for everyday drinkers, I create sessions where everyone discovers something new about whisky and themselves.

My approach combines deep whisky industry experience with strategic marketing expertise. Whether you're planning intimate venue tastings or developing comprehensive brand experiences, I understand both the craft behind exceptional whisky and the business realities of creating profitable customer experiences.

The sensory difference comes from slowing down the tasting process to allow genuine discovery. Rather than rushing through multiple whiskies, we spend quality time with carefully selected bottles, teaching mindful appreciation techniques that build individual confidence. This inclusive approach welcomes complete beginners alongside seasoned enthusiasts, focusing on personal discovery and authentic connection rather than intimidation or showing off.

My industry credibility includes serving as Global Community and Events Manager for OurWhisky Foundation, developing marketing strategies for premium drinks brands, and creating authentic whisky content that resonates with real audiences. As an American with deep Scottish whisky knowledge, I bring fresh perspective to traditional appreciation methods while respecting the heritage and craftsmanship that makes exceptional whisky special.
