Biography
I’m a Melbourne-based freelance writer, author, whisky presenter and spirits judge. Formerly a bartender and educator at the award-winning Whisky & Alement, I’ve been the national spirits and cocktail columnist for Fairfax Media and a long-serving judge at the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards. I currently publish and edit Oz Whisky Review – the ultimate Australian whisky resource I founded in 2020. My work on drinks, travel and culture has appeared in a range of Australian and international publications, including The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian Financial Review, Broadsheet, Whisky Magazine, Scotchwhisky.com, The Spirits Business and many more. My first book, The Australian Spirits Guide, was published in 2016 by Hardie Grant Books.
