Meet Scotch Whisky Expert & Johnnie Walker Global Brand Ambassador – Tom Jones

Meeting Tom Jones was a pleasure and within a few minutes of chatting about his world as Johnnie Walker Brand Ambassador it was clear to see that he is a man that truly enjoys his job. He regaled me on the brands origins and how much he enjoined his trip over here, stating that the event itself was well attended and well organized. The cool and breezy lagoon side venue was much to his liking as Nigeria weather and Scottish weather are really not the same.

I went on to ask him more about the event sponsored by Johnnie Walker and he told me how they all had so much fun, he explained to the people present at the event how we should savor the flavor Scottish Whisky. “Instictually when we drink anything we tend to just swallow the liquid, but when we drink whisky, we drink it for the flavour. It takes over 12 years to make the Whisky so we are sort of asking you to give us 10 seconds of your time to enjoy it”. And he did have a point, so next time you are taking a drink, to take a second or two longer just to savor the 12 years worth of flavor.
