The Whisky Influencer

Expect to have fun. This isn't a lecture — it's a guided conversation with whisky in your hand. You'll taste 3–4 carefully selected whiskies, learn how to nose and taste with more confidence, and pick up the stories behind what you're drinking — where it was made, how it got its flavor, and what makes it worth paying attention to. Every pour builds on the last, so by the end of the tasting, you're not just drinking whisky differently. You're thinking about it differently. No experience necessary. In fact, some of the best reactions come from people who walk in saying they don't even like whisky.

Tim is the creator of The Whisky Influencer — a weekly whisky newsletter and social media brand with over 300,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok. What started as a passion for whisky has grown into one of the largest independent whisky platforms in the space, built on honest opinions, deep knowledge, and a belief that great whisky should be accessible to everyone.

Tim has hosted tastings alongside actor Liev Schreiber for the launch of his whisky brand at Zero Bond in New York City and has led corporate events with over 60 guests. Whether it's an intimate group of 15 or a packed room, every tasting is built to keep the energy up and the conversation flowing.

The Whisky Influencer Tasting Experience brings that energy off-screen and into the room. Every tasting is built around your group — whether that's casual drinkers just starting their whisky journey or collectors who want to go deep on single cask Scotch. Tim works with your venue ahead of time to select 3–4 whiskies that tell a story, then guides your group through each pour with context on how it was made, where it comes from, what to look for on the nose and palate, and why it matters.

Each booking includes a pre-event consultation to build the lineup, coordination with your venue on glassware and setup, printed tasting cards for every guest, and 60–90 minutes of guided tasting. No lectures, no pretension — just good whisky and good conversation.

Your venue provides and serves the whisky under its liquor license. Tim charges a flat experience fee covering hosting, curation, and all printed materials.
