I’ve spent much of my life immersed in the world of Scotch whisky, exploring its stories, traditions, and endless complexities. My journey began at The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, in 2001, where I developed a deep appreciation for flavour, cask character, and the joy of sharing whisky with others. That experience led me to The Glenmorangie Company, where I proudly served as Global Brand Ambassador, representing one of Scotland’s most iconic distilleries around the world. Most recently, and for the last ten years, I was entrusted in the role of Director of The Keepers of the Quaich. In this role I have been made a Keeper and Master of the Quaich.
Over the years, I’ve worked across sensory analysis, education, and brand consultancy, always with the aim of making whisky more accessible and engaging. I’m passionate about helping people connect with whisky in a meaningful way, whether they’re seasoned connoisseurs or curious first-timers.
In 2017 I was invited to become a Liveryman with the Worshipful Company of Distillers and joined the Scottish Committee. As an active Liveryman I contribute to their mentoring programme, championing the next generation of whisky professionals while continuing to learn and grow within this ever-evolving industry. At heart, I’m a storyteller and a listener, constantly inspired by the people, places, and conversations that make Scotch whisky so special.
