“Way more than just whisky…”
Who is The Whisky Pirate?
Originally created out of a young, budding interest in single malt Scotch, the character and handle of the Whisky Pirate steadily grew taking on a life of its own with that early interest quickly maturing to passion. That passion, not just for the liquid, but also for the education, presentation and sharing of it, ultimately became professional within the whisky industry representing and showcasing award-winning brands of single malts and other spirits from all over the world.
Following years of commended recognition and success within this industry, along with an unmistakeable look and style has cemented the Whisky Pirate’s permanent place in the world that few others can easily replicate. Combine that expertise, success and knowledge with praised photography, graphic and media creativity skills, and it is easily seen that The Whisky Pirate is “way more than just whisky”.
If you, your business, or your brand is interested in learning more about how I can share my passion and knowledge for whisky and fine spirit with you through private or public tasting events, brand representation, marketing consultation, photography or media creation and administration please contact me and I will look forward to hearing from you.
My name is Jay Cole and I am the Whisky Pirate.
Cheers.
