The whiskey community can sometimes feel a bit gatekeep-y. Anyone else find it a bit intimidating?

There is no gate keeping as long as people share.

They won't, this is engagement bait.

Well, offer them a dram and you'll be on the community's honorary member. Offer a good dram and you could be the president of the gates 😉

I find people into spirits perfectly approachable. Most are happy to tell you the basics and what to look for.

What I think is hard though is the commitment needed vs craft beers or wine. Maybe it's just that distilleries are harder to come by, or maybe I've got my chicken and egg order backwards, idk. In any case, the default is often to pick up a bottle of something new instead of doing a tasting. Whole bottles of whiskey are quite the commitment if you don't like to drink on the regular....

This is a good insight. The price makes it harder to sample lots of option.

Have you been to any whisky festivals? A great way to try out a large range of whiskies at an affordable price.

They keep knocking Cutty Sark on here and it really is the best scotch. I don’t get it…

Sad right?

My boss (exec director) and I need to come up with a schedule strategy. We work in a hybrid setting, 1-2 days in office, the rest remote. As you all know, the days fill up quickly with travel, meetings and requests internal, external, new partners etc. Fridays are usually off limits to schedule anything unless it’s super important or really no way to work around it. have you seen something, created or implemented a strategy/guideline that would free up more time? I know saying no more would help
