The best whiskey in the world is the one you have in your glass and the company you share it with.
Atomic mass? No, mash bills. James can talk for hours about the difference between French and American oak, or the impact of rickhouse placement on aging. But his real gift is making whiskey accessible to everyone, stripping away the pretension that often surrounds the spirit.
He hosts tastings and writes guides that help beginners find their palate without feeling intimidated. From budget-friendly bourbons to investment-grade single malts, James covers it all. He believes there is a whiskey out there for everyone—you just haven't found yours yet.
