Let’s Start With a Good Pour
From Novice to neat
Welcome to my corner of the whiskey world. I’m a Michigan native who found his way to Nashville and, somewhere along the journey, fell head over heels for good whiskey. Funny enough, I used to swear I’d never touch the stuff again after one unforgettable night in my younger days. But over time, I learned how to sip, savor, and actually appreciate what’s in the glass. These days, I work in the country music world and spend the rest of my time exploring great pours, new distilleries, and the craft behind it all. This space is where I share what I learn, a mix of education, stories, and the kind of tips that help anyone feel at home in the world of whiskey.
Hi, I'm Chuck.
Raise a glass, y'all!

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.
