About Ryan
Ryan oversees private barrel selections for retailers and whiskey clubs, evaluating hundreds of barrel samples annually.
He specializes in identifying unique flavor profiles — the work of picking the one barrel out of a lineup that is worth putting someone's name on.
On the tasting panel
Ryan brings barrel-selection discipline to the panel — he spends his working life telling near-identical pours apart, which is precisely the task a similarity score demands.
