“Jay Cole is an exemplary presenter. Engaging and charismatic, Jay finds a way to showcase whiskies in a professional and relatable way regardless of the experience level of the audience. Jay puts a lot of love into everything he does, and we are grateful for the time and attention he gives in any presentation”

“I’ve known Jay for close to 15 years now. Much of that time was just as us being fellow whisky enthusiasts but some of it as co-workers with ImpEx Beverages (importers of Scotch whiskies and whiskies from all around the world), too. Across these 15 years one thing that’s been made clear to me is that Jay has an unwavering passion for whisky and a need to help spread his knowledge of and dedication to the spirit. As a person on my sales team, looking after the Northeast US, Jay’s ability to sell product came directly from his love for whisky. It’s infectious.

Jay has also proven himself to be an excellent communicator. I’ve seen him command large rooms of fellow whisky lovers and those who are simply whisky-curious. That’s where he’s in his comfort zone.”

“In addition to being a great guy, Jay is a phenomenal story teller with a deep love for whiskey and other spirits. His knowledge, and the manner in which he presents that knowledge to everyone from the beginner to the connoisseur, is exceptional. I’ve personally hired Jay for a number of events and he’s my go to guy for the New England region. ”

“There are not many “hired guns” in the whisky game that have the depth and breath of knowledge that Jay possesses. He is a true ambassador of the spirit.”
