Episode Details

In this episode of The Unmotivated Podcast, host Trev sits down with Richard—aka the Whiskey Wizard—a brilliant mind, passionate soul, and rising star in the world of whiskey blending and barrel-aged art.

Their connection began at the Whiskey Blendery, but Richard's story runs far deeper than the barrels he works with. He’s an aspiring Master Blender in training, already crafting standout small-batch blends, and a key figure behind The Art of Whiskey YouTube channel.

Together, they explore:

• What it takes to become a true Master Blender
• The unseen art behind crafting whiskey with depth and soul
• Why storytelling matters as much as science in the blending process
• Richard’s personal journey from passion to purpose
• The intersection of creativity, chaos, and character in the whiskey world

This episode is a deep dive into the alchemy of flavor and life—a blend of struggle, skill, and soul that defines both the whiskey and the man behind it.

Whether you're a whiskey nerd, a creative chasing mastery, or someone who appreciates dedication to craft—this episode is aged perfectly for you.
