Scott Allan is The Whisky List's National On-Premise Sales person for its growing portfolio of premium whisky brands, including Hobart Whisky, Bunnahabhain, Deanston, Tobermory, Ledaig, Remnant, Decadent Drinks and Highlander Inn.
The former bartender arrives at The Whiskly List from working at Sydney's NOLA Smokehouse & Bar, where he oversaw one of Australia’s largest collections of American Whiskeys.
His favourite whiskey categories are Bottled In Bond Bourbons and vibrant Peated Malts, although his tour of Mexico with 10 Australian bartenders in 2018 also instilled a love of earthy and savoury Mezcals.
“As a bartender, I’ve been lucky enough to access so many opportunities to taste and to learn about whiskies and other spirits. For me, nothing beats being blown away by the flavour of something new, then learning how and why it tastes so damn good. I’m really excited to help The Whisky List bring that experience to more people, in world class venues all around Australia,” Allan said.
At The Whisky List, Allan will curate exciting in-person events for consumers and the trade, including Sydney Whisky Week festival.
The Whisky List’s co-founder Oliver Maruda explains that hiring bartenders is core to their company’s growth strategy and is the natural next step for those looking for their next leap in their hospitality career.
“We’re absolutely thrilled with a bartender of Scott’s calibre joining The Whisky List. His wealth of knowledge and experience in the category is a perfect fit for the role, and we can’t wait for Scott to visit your venues with our excellent range of premium whiskies. He’s hit the ground running having already hosted a number of trade and consumer tastings, as well as masterclasses in Sydney and Canberra.
"He’s currently scheduling visits for training and tasting opportunities across Australia, starting with Melbourne in early December. There’ll be lots of opportunities for your venue to discover some new whisky brands,” explains Maruda.
