With fifteen years' experience in the spirits industry, Jake is our resident 'doer of things'. He's worked across all areas of Master of Malt's retail, trade, editorial and marketing teams, and much more besides, managing various award-winning campaigns. He's an expert whose particular areas of passion include single pot still Irish whiskey, coastal spirits and boozy stirred-down cocktails, as well as funky agricole rhum and cachaça. He's passed the new, advanced WSET Level 3 in Spirits with a Distinction and his comments have appeared in publications such as The Guardian and Jeff Cioletti's Drinking Adventurously. You can also speak to him about second division German football and an eclectic array of music from Britpop to rare funk breaks.
