A Whiskey Ambassador is a smooth talker who specializes in promoting hard-hitting liquor. The job of a Whiskey Ambassador is to serve as the public face of a whiskey brand.

Frequent travel for tasting events across the country is par for the course. While there, your duty as a Whiskey Ambassador is to convince consumers, Bar Owners, and distributors that your scotch is superior to all others. You schmooze to sell booze.

Knowing the ins and outs of the whiskey business is a major advantage, and so is being able to talk shop with the best of them. A good Whiskey Ambassador is a Salesperson who can captivate any audience. First and foremost, you’re a whiskey scholar. Your expertise and persuasion help others learn to savor and appreciate your product.

Some Ambassadors make the whiskey themselves. Others get paid to pour drinks and look good. For the less aesthetically gifted, the job entails a variety of communication and public relations work.

Chatting people up one-on-one is as easy for you as addressing big groups. At tastings, your presentations tell the story of your whiskey and its heritage. You find strategic ways to engage your guests as they sample your products.

You spend up to nine months each year traveling and promoting your whiskey brand to Business Owners and consumers. Life on the road isn’t always fun, but getting paid to socialize over drinks certainly can be.
