David Miles is Senior Portfolio Brands Ambassador for Suntory Global Spirits and a passionate advocate for whisky education — not as a subject to master, but as an experience. Before joining Suntory, he worked with Edrington UK and Maxxium as a UK senior whisky specialist, managed cocktail bars in London and Amsterdam, and launched venues across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, where he saw first-hand how atmosphere, light and material shape the way people taste and remember a drink. For David, whisky is never just liquid in a glass. It's about colour, aroma, texture and ritual — he firmly believes it should be a pleasure, not a challenge. Neat, with water, on ice, in a cocktail or a highball, there's no wrong way to drink it. And no such thing as someone who doesn't like whisky — only someone who hasn't yet found the right one, in the right space, served the right way.
