Chuck put together an amazing Nashville experience for our team while in town for the NHL Draft. Some tasty Nashville BBQ paired with a great whiskey selection. So good in fact that we invited him to be our suite guest at the draft the following evening!

His knowledge of bourbons runs deep-he doesn’t just know the notes and history; he knows the stories, the craftsmanship, and the passion behind every pour. But what truly sets Chuck apart is the way he connects with people. Whether you’re a seasoned whiskey lover or just getting started, he has a way of making you feel like you’re part of something special. His enthusiasm is contagious, his storytelling is unmatched, and his ability to bring a room together over a shared love of bourbon is something you have to experience for yourself. On top of that, he works tirelessly to spread the word about his events, making sure that everyone who walks through the doors at Chief’s gets the chance to be part of these one-of-a-kind nights. If you haven’t been to a whiskey dinner with Chuck yet, you’re missing out!
