Episode #30: Drew Tobin, Sales Manager for the Aspect division of Breakthru Beverage Group
Join me this week with Drew Tobin as we discuss him growing up in The Netherlands, Whisk(e)y, and the evolving luxury market of wines. We also spend a decent amount of time geeking out on Mezcal and Tequila, along with the unsustainability of the growth that they're going through. We had a blast and I guess it shows as this is the longest episode to date!
