Whisky Ambassador - 
In 1990, Jeremy Bell closed the books on a career accounting and aptly cracked open a bottle of whisky to toast his new direction. After a stint in journalism as a whisky journalist for Decanter Wine Magazine, he went on to present whisky tasting. The Glenlivet company tapped him in 1993 to become Brand Ambassador for their whiskies. Now Jeremy travels the country, attending eighty tastings a year for the "This Is the Chivas Life" tour. To get his typical audience into the spirit of things, Bell dons a kilt and plays the bagpipes. With gusto, he offers the group a crash course in Scotch 101, wetting their whistles with a Chivas cocktail, and then talking them through five different whisky tastings. Explaining the subtleties of scotch, he illuminates the difference between single malts and blends and illustrates how whisky should be served, sipped and savored. Bell likes to say that he got out the accountancy abyss and into beverage bliss.
