Episode 4 - Jay Cocorullo of the Florida Rum Society

Thursday, May 29, 2025 • Duration 01:06:28

We are so excited to welcome to the podcast Jay Cocorullo, a Founder and President of the Florida Rum Society, a community group with over 2,500 members worldwide (open to everyone, not just Florida residents) committed to the education and experience of rum and bringing high quality rums to the state of Florida. This episode is a can't miss, whether you are a rum lover, rum curious or you think you (heaven forbid) hate rum! Jay's passion is infectious, he taught us SO much - including that rum is so much more than the general public thinks it is - and we simply had a great time. After listening, we challenge you, if you are not a rum lover - and especially if you are rum curious - to go explore this amazing category of spirits that has so much to offer! As always, email us with any comments/questions/suggestions at thespiritedenthusiast@gmail.com.

Episode 7 - Daniel Whittington of Whiskey Vault

Season 1 · Episode 7

Wednesday, November 5, 2025 • Duration 01:00:36

Daniel Whittington's Instagram bio reads: "A whisky youtuber, a whisky somm, a whiskey drinker, a Chancellor, a musician, and a business consultant with a reasonable taste in hats." That description barely seems to scratch the surface of what Daniel has done in the whisk(e)y community.

Daniel's ⁠Whiskey Vault YouTube Channel⁠ has nearly 450,000 viewers and approximately 2,100 videos. Daniel founded the Whisky Marketing School⁠⁠ ⁠in 2015, where he created the Whisk(e)y Sommelier course, and he is the Chancellor of Wizard Academy in Austin, TX, a "Non-Traditional, Non-Profit, Non-Boring Business School." Daniel also co-founded the Whiskey Tribe community and YouTube Channel,⁠ and co-founded Crowded Barrel Whiskey⁠ in Austin, TX. Before Daniel's whisky journey started, he spent 20 years as a studio and touring musician.

Our chat with Daniel covered, among many other things, spirits education (including which programs and certifications are best suited for which purposes), the importance of knowing how and when to communicate about whisk(e)y (and when not to), the overlap between the sensory experience of a spirit and EQ (for all you spirits and music nerds like us), the current state of the whiskey industry, and how to make a great gin and tonic that actually tastes like a cocktail.

Episode 6 - Holly Seidewand of First Fill Spirits and Her Whisky Love

Season 1 · Episode 6

Monday, September 22, 2025 • Duration 01:16:13

If you want to hear from someone with a wealth of whiskey/whisky knowledge, an incredible story and career, and an infectious passion for spirits, you can't do better than Holly Seidewand, who co-owns a fantastic retail whisky shop called First Fill Spirits in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. with Charles Grabitzky, which focuses on independent bottlings and new-whisky producing regions of the world.

Holly has traveled all over the world visiting, studying, and writing about distilleries, and has documented over 150 distilleries including distilleries in Japan, the USA, Scotland, Ireland, Tasmania, and more. She worked at Knockdhu Distiller (anCnoc) under distillery manager Gordon Bruce in the Highlands of Scotland, was on the Bacardi Single Malts team as the North American Brand Ambassador, and holds a General Certificate in Distillation from the Institute of Brewing & Distilling, Scotland.

We had SO much fun talking to Holly and only scratched the surface of what she had to offer. You can find Holly at her store (https://www.firstfillspirits.com/) and her blog (https://www.herwhiskylove.com/), and make sure to subscribe to her and Charles' podcast, It's Whiskey #FFS (https://open.spotify.com/show/2y1PxWAm63xL8sl1cDHy9e?si=d43dd77363074287).

Episode 5 - A Whisky Tasting with @weber_ninja (Brandon "Woody" Williams)

Season 1 · Episode 5

Friday, August 22, 2025 • Duration 01:44:29

@weber_ninja's handle is "Spreading Happiness with Grilling" and he does just that for his 15.3k followers on TikTok and 13.8k followers on Instagram (as well as on YouTube and Facebook). Woody is a grilling champion, including winning 1st place at Paris Steak Wars in Paris, TX in 2022 and in 2024 was ranked 13th in the world at the Steak Cookoff Association. Woody has gone "viral" with his grilling videos, but, like us, his true passions are the relationships he has built in the community he has grown. As Woody has said, "we are all from different walks of life, but have some of the same things in common."

In this episode, we gave Woody the chance to ask us anything about spirits and took him through a tasting of generally accessible and reasonably priced whisky. If you would like to taste along with us, we poured: (i) Redbreast 12 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey; (ii) Arran 10 Year Old SIngle Malt Scotch Whisky; (iii) Eagle Rare 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon; (iv) Bulleit Rye Whiskey; and (v) Talisker 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

We think enthusiasts at all levels (from beginner to seasoned) will love this episode as much as we loved recording it.

As always, please email us with any comments/questions/suggestions at thespiritedenthusiast@gmail.com, follow us on Instagram @spiritedenthusiast, and subscribe so that you don't miss an episode! We have many more episodes launching soon that we can't wait for you to hear.
