About

Background and Format:
GreatDrams is one man's mission to experience, share and inspire with everything great about whisky, whiskey, gin, beer and fine dining. Greg Dillon’s blog is for drinks lovers and whisky givers; an online platform they can visit to read and enjoy great stories about spirits, their histories and the faces behind the labels. GreatDrams also invites visitors to book bespoke offline whisky tastings for corporate or social occasions.
Greg, an avid whisky collector and enthusiast, is the owner and Editor, and a Brand Strategy Consultant. On why he created GreatDrams when there are a number already in existence, Greg explains: “Having enjoyed single malt and blended whiskies over the years, I have also worked with many whisky and other luxury spirits brands so I know about the drinks industry intimately from both sides. Over time I have noticed how tough it can be for amateur tasters and collectors to enter the whisky world in particular and really get an understanding of all things malt (or grain, or rye…). My aim is to democratize whisky and inspire consumers to explore flavours and brands within the market, never settling on just one favourite.”
The purpose of GreatDrams “is to provide a platform with content for people new to drinks and those who are learning about whisky as much as those who are more experienced whisky fans because, ultimately, those interested in exploring this great drink are under-serviced by the whisky industry. Often whisky drinkers have nowhere to send their loved ones for inspirational gift ideas or to share an understanding of one of their great passions.” Sections on the site include About, For Whisky Drinkers, For Whisky Givers, What's Dramming, Get In Touch and Book A Whisky Tasting.
Greg can be reached via the contact form or emailed at greg@greatdrams.com. He welcomes contributions of whisky news, samples and images, event invitations and competitions. Greg provides consulting services to whisky and spirit brands to help them grow, connect with their consumers on emotive and rational levels, and to design and develop brand experiences from packaging design to visitor centres.
