As of June 2025, Sean Combs, famously known as P Diddy, continues to make headlines with his legal and business endeavors. His federal trial has taken a significant turn recently, with jurors being presented with explicit evidence, as reported by various news outlets. This trial comes amidst a tumultuous period for Diddy, who is facing serious allegations.Despite these challenges, Diddy's net worth remains impressive, estimated to be around $1 billion, according to recent reports. His wealth is derived from a diverse portfolio of businesses, including music, fashion, beverages, and more. He is the founder of Bad Boy Records, which played a pivotal role in launching the careers of music legends like The Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans.Diddy's entrepreneurial ventures extend far beyond music. He has investments in tech startups, liquor companies, such as his partnership with Diageo for Cîroc vodka, and has even ventured into the cannabis industry. His recent purchase of a marijuana business aims to create the largest Black-owned and licensed cannabis company in the United States, a significant move in an industry dominated by white ownership.Additionally, Diddy has been involved in various other business ventures, such as his e-commerce platform Empower Global, which focuses on promoting black-owned businesses. His influence extends beyond business; he is a television producer and actor, contributing to his enduring presence in pop culture.Diddy's legacy as a hip-hop mogul and entrepreneur continues to inspire generations, with his ability to turn creative talent into financial success being a testament to his vision and business acumen. Despite current legal challenges, his diverse ventures and strategic investments ensure his position as one of the wealthiest figures in hip-hop.

Ben Branson is one of the most creative minds in beverages today. As the founder of Seedlip — the world's first distilled non-alcoholic spirit — he didn't just launch a product, he pioneered an entire category. That category, once niche and unproven, is now valued at more than $11 billion, and Seedlip was acquired by Diageo in 2019, just five years after its launch.Now, Ben's back with a new venture: Pollen Projects, a drinks innovation studio creating a range of unconventional non-alcoholic products. The two early standouts? Sylva — a non-alcoholic sipping spirit distilled and matured from trees (yes, trees!) — and Seasn, a duo of cocktail bitters designed to flavor everything from seltzer to cocktails.In this conversation, Ben takes us inside his product development process — from cold-calling 500 top bars to obsessively studying 17th-century distillation texts — to assess white space for Seedlip. He also shares what's next for Sylva, including a new distillery in upstate New York to make spirits from American trees. That operation will accompany Sylva's existing UK distillery, which is already producing spirits made from British Hazel and African Padauk wood.In this conversation, Ben shares the research, philosophy, and creative rigor behind his brands — and what he's doing differently this time around. You'll hear about the early days of Seedlip, how Sylva's distillation and aging process borrows from perfumery and traditional spirits, and why simplicity — not trend-chasing — is the secret to building lasting brands.We discuss:Why Ben isn't just making non-alc alternatives, but rather inventing a new class of liquidsHis methodical, data-driven approach to product innovationThe surprising reason he chose to launch Seedlip into high-end, on-premise accounts rather than DTCThe innovative techniques used to produce Sylva's non-alcoholic sipping spiritsWhy Ben emphasizes clarity above all — whether in product design or brand strategyWhat he learned from early product missteps — and how he's applying those lessons to Sylva and SeasnWhy Ben doesn't build brands for himself — he builds them to meet real consumer needs with standout experiencesLast Call:In this Last Call update, we reconnect with Issamu Kamide, co-founder of Wonderwerk, to hear what's driving growth for one of the most innovative brands in wine.We first featured Wonderwerk last fall in Ep. 36 Since that time, Wonderwerk has grown its revenue 30%. We discuss:

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Gaganyatri Launch Delayed Again India's much-anticipated moment in space will take a bit longer. The Axiom-4 (Ax-4) mission—meant to carry the first Indian Gaganyatri to the ISS—has been postponed due to a liquid oxygen (LOx) leak found during Falcon 9's booster test. SpaceX confirmed the issue via X, while ISRO announced that the launch will only proceed after thorough repairs and validation tests. This is the second delay, following an earlier weather-related rescheduling. No new launch date has been set. India-US Trade Talks Hit a Roadblock Trade talks between India and the US are entering a tense final phase. The US is demanding greater access to Indian markets in dairy, agriculture, shrimp, and digital services. But India is pushing back, citing food security and rural livelihoods. With a July 8 deadline looming, paused tariffs could soon return. Dairy remains a key sticking point, with India insisting on vegetarian feed standards for US imports. Despite the friction, Indian officials say a balanced deal is still within reach. ₹5,400 Cr Boost for Battery Storage India is ramping up its clean energy game with a fresh ₹5,400 crore push for battery energy storage systems (BESS). Announced by Power Minister Manohar Lal, the scheme aims to build 30 GWh of capacity, attracting ₹33,000 crore in investments. It builds on an earlier ₹3,700 crore initiative supporting 13.2 GWh. With peak power demand expected to hit 270 GW this summer, BESS will help stabilize the grid and support the 2070 net zero target. Undersea transmission lines to the UAE and Saudi Arabia are also in the works, with ₹90,000 crore earmarked for the project. Your AC May Soon Stop at 20°C The government plans to cap air conditioner temperatures at a minimum of 20°C as part of a national energy-saving initiative. Power Minister Manohar Lal said the new rule would apply to homes, hotels, and even cars. Air conditioners account for about 20% of peak power load. Raising the minimum temperature could save up to 3 GW during peak hours. With 100 million AC units already in use and demand rising, the move could cut ₹7.5 trillion in energy costs by 2035. RCB Sale Rumors and Parade Tragedy Just after winning their first IPL title, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) found themselves in the spotlight again—this time over rumors of a $2 billion sale. Diageo, the team's owner, denied the speculation in a filing with the BSE. But a deeper crisis unfolded on June 4, when a stampede at RCB's victory parade in Bengaluru left 11 dead and 56 injured. The tragedy has sparked criticism of event planning and crowd control. Meanwhile, India's health ministry is pushing to curb alcohol advertising in sports, putting further pressure on Diageo's branding strategies. Learn more about your ad choices.

Listeners, the latest headlines surrounding Sean Combs—known to many as Puffy, P Diddy, or simply Diddy—have been dominated by legal drama and the ongoing federal trial in New York City. As of today, week five of the sex trafficking case against Sean “Diddy” Combs is underway. The courtroom atmosphere remains tense, with jurors reportedly making visible reactions while reviewing incriminating text messages presented as evidence. The testimony has included statements from Diddy's former lover and alleged victim, referred to as “Jane,” as well as his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who has also testified about her experiences and the events highlighted in a now widely discussed hotel surveillance video from 2016. The prosecution alleges that Combs orchestrated a criminal enterprise involving the manipulation and exploitation of women through drug-fueled parties, sometimes involving male sex workers, with Cassie Ventura's testimony and video evidence playing a central role in the proceedings. Diddy has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest last September and faces multiple counts stemming from the statements of at least four women, including Ventura.Beyond the courtroom, Combs' business empire is under intense scrutiny. His historic partnership with Diageo for Ciroc vodka and DeLeón tequila, which once generated nearly $1 billion in revenue since its inception in 2007, ended in early 2024 after both parties agreed to resolve legal disputes and sever all business ties. Combs also reclaimed ownership of the Sean John clothing line in 2021 after winning a bidding war, though the brand is not at its former heights. Meanwhile, Bad Boy Entertainment, his legendary record label, continues to operate, but his media company Revolt saw Combs temporarily step down as chairman following civil allegations brought by Cassie Ventura, which have since been settled.Despite the turmoil, P Diddy's financial stature remains enormous. According to financial reporting, his net worth in 2025 is estimated to be around $1 billion, built not just on music but through ventures in fashion, media, technology, and beverages. Diddy's legacy as a business innovator and cultural force is clear, but his future, both financially and legally, hangs heavily in the balance as the trial continues with daily updates from inside the courtroom.

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the hip-hop mogul who built a billion-dollar empire, is currently facing serious legal challenges that threaten his vast fortune. As of June 2025, Combs is in the midst of a trial where prosecutors have taken aggressive action against his assets under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.Last month, on May 16, 2025, reports emerged that Combs could lose most of his estimated $400 million fortune if found guilty of all charges. The Justice Department is pursuing forfeiture action, arguing that Combs used his business enterprises to facilitate and cover up alleged criminal activities.In response, Combs has hired Stefan Cassella, former deputy chief of the Justice Department's Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section, to fight these forfeiture attempts. Cassella has stated that the government is taking an "aggressive approach" in seizing as many of Combs's assets as possible.Among the assets at risk are Combs's $48 million Miami Beach home on Star Island, which was raided last year, and his $25 million Gulfstream Aerospace G550 private jet, which he has reportedly been renting out while awaiting trial.Prior to these legal troubles, Combs had built an impressive business portfolio. His partnership with Diageo for Ciroc vodka and DeLeon tequila had been particularly lucrative, reportedly generating nearly $1 billion in revenue since 2007. However, his Combs Global empire, which includes ventures in fashion, cannabis, and digital marketplaces, now faces an uncertain future.In 2021, Combs bought back his Sean John clothing brand for $7.5 million but hasn't developed it significantly since. Last year, he attempted to enter the cannabis industry with a venture valued at up to $185 million that would have created the country's largest Black-owned and licensed cannabis company.Throughout this legal battle, Combs has maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty to all charges. The outcome of this trial will likely determine whether the man who rose from Harlem to become a symbol of Black entrepreneurship will retain the empire he spent decades building.

The $600 Million Meltdown: How Diddy's Empire Crumbled Overnight  What happens when a billion-dollar empire built on personal brand collapses in real time? Sean "Diddy" Combs lost $600 million in less than a year as federal investigations systematically dismantled his entertainment empire piece by piece. From armored vehicle raids on his mansions to the collapse of partnerships with Diageo, Macy's, and more, this is the inside story of how RICO laws originally designed for the mafia are now being used to destroy celebrity business empires. We break down the domino effect that started with racial discrimination lawsuits and ended with employee buyouts, asset seizures, and the complete restructuring of one of hip-hop's most successful business operations. Beyond the headlines, we explore what this means for celebrity wealth, why personal brand-based businesses are uniquely vulnerable, and how corporate America runs for the exits when legal heat gets too intense. Whether you're interested in business strategy, celebrity culture, or just want to understand how someone can lose more money in a year than most people will see in a lifetime, this episode reveals the shocking mechanics behind one of the most dramatic wealth collapses in entertainment history.

Sean Combs, known to listeners as Puffy or P Diddy, remains one of hip-hop's most influential figures but is currently at the center of a high-profile federal trial in New York. Combs, 55, faces charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and several related offenses. Prosecutors allege he led a criminal operation dating back to 2004, involving associates and employees in activities such as sex trafficking, forced labor, bribery, and obstruction of justice. Jury selection began in early May 2025, and the trial has featured emotional testimony, including from a former assistant named Mia, whose cross-examination drew considerable public attention. Combs has pleaded not guilty and declined a plea deal before the trial began. He has been held without bail since his arrest in September 2024. There is growing speculation on social media about whether a presidential pardon could come into play if he is found guilty, but much depends on the final outcome of the ongoing proceedings, expected to continue for several more weeks according to CBS News and ABC News coverage.Despite these legal troubles, Combs' business legacy is significant. As reported by Radio Guide FM, his net worth in 2025 remains around the $1 billion mark, a testament to decades of success in music, fashion, spirits, and media. His partnership with Diageo for Ciroc vodka and DeLeon tequila has generated nearly $1 billion in revenue since 2007, underpinning the wider Combs Global portfolio. According to Trapital, Ciroc was the engine that powered his broader business ambitions.Combs has also made notable tech investments, including as an advisor and investor in Proto, a holographic communications startup known for beaming digital likenesses of celebrities. He launched Empower Global, a digital marketplace to support Black-owned businesses, reflecting his ongoing commitment to entrepreneurship and empowerment. As highlighted by Cybernews and Revolt TV, these ventures position him as a business innovator even as his reputation faces unprecedented legal challenges.This latest chapter marks a stark contrast to Diddy's earlier image as a cultural icon and business pioneer. The hip-hop community and the business world are watching closely as the trial unfolds, potentially reshaping both his legacy and impact on the industries he helped shape.

Sean Combs, known as Puffy or P Diddy, is dominating headlines in 2025 for both his enduring business success and a series of high-profile legal battles. As reported by radioguide.fm, Combs's net worth stands at an estimated $1 billion this year, maintaining his billionaire status through a blend of legendary music production, smart brand creation, and investments across fashion, beverages, and media. Combs's reputation as a hip-hop mogul who turned creative vision into generational wealth has inspired countless artists and entrepreneurs, with his Bad Boy Records label, Ciroc vodka partnership, and Sean John clothing line all becoming icons in their respective industries.But 2025 has seen Combs facing immense challenges. The Independent recently covered Combs's ongoing federal trial, where he is defending himself against charges including racketeering and sex trafficking. Federal prosecutors allege that he used some of his vast business empire to facilitate criminal activity, and they are pursuing forfeiture of much of his wealth if he is found guilty. Assets under scrutiny include a multimillion-dollar Miami Beach estate and a luxury private jet. To defend his fortune, Combs's legal team now includes high-profile asset forfeiture specialists.Cybernews details that before his legal troubles, Combs invested in cutting-edge technology companies, including the holographic communications firm Proto and Elon Musk's X corporation, formerly Twitter. He also launched Empower Global, an e-commerce platform for Black-owned businesses, reinforcing his longtime commitment to diversity and opportunity in entrepreneurship.Combs's business career remains a lesson in diversification. According to KESQ, his Sean John fashion line, which he famously bought back in 2021, and his media ventures like Revolt, helped establish him as a leading Black entrepreneur far beyond music. Recent years, however, have seen turbulence: he resolved a major legal dispute with Diageo, his former partner in Ciroc and DeLeón tequila, and stepped down from Revolt amid lawsuits over abuse allegations brought by former girlfriend Cassie Ventura—allegations he denied, with the case since settled.According to Creators Blueprint, Combs recently made a transformative move into legal cannabis, aiming to build the country's largest Black-owned cannabis company, a step with major significance in an industry long criticized for racial disparities.Listeners, Sean Combs's story in 2025 is a dramatic blend of legacy, ambition, risk, and resilience—a hip-hop icon navigating his toughest chapter yet, as both his empire and reputation hang in the balance.

Listeners, the latest headlines surrounding Sean Combs—known to many as Puffy or P Diddy—are making waves across both the music and business worlds, but right now, the story dominating the news is his ongoing federal sex trafficking trial in New York. The trial, which began after Combs' arrest in September 2024, sees him facing serious charges including sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains that any sexual encounters were consensual, acknowledging that some relationships involved domestic violence but denying trafficking accusations altogether, as reported by ABC News.Testimony in court has been dramatic and deeply personal. A former personal assistant, using the pseudonym "Mia," is expected to share testimony described by her lawyer as details she would've "taken to her grave" if not for Combs' arrest. This follows bombshell allegations from another former assistant, Capricorn Clark, who claimed Combs once kidnapped her in a jealous rage, according to The Independent. The trial has included testimony from rapper Kid Cudi, who described Combs as "looking like a Marvel supervillain" and recounted a disturbing incident involving a car fire during Kid Cudi's relationship with Cassie Ventura. These testimonies and the federal investigation have put Combs' legacy and empire under intense scrutiny.Despite these legal battles, Combs is still recognized for his remarkable business achievements. As of 2025, his net worth is estimated to be around $1 billion, a result of decades of success in music, fashion, beverages, and media, according to RadioGuide FM. He founded Bad Boy Records, launched the Sean John clothing line, and helped make Ciroc vodka a household name before resolving a high-profile dispute with Diageo in January 2024. His investments now extend into tech and e-commerce, such as the Proto holographic platform and Empower Global, a marketplace for Black-owned businesses, as detailed by Cybernews.But recent years have seen dramatic changes. Combs temporarily stepped down as chairman of his media company, Revolt, after Cassie Ventura—his former partner—filed and later settled a lawsuit alleging rape and repeated abuse. Meanwhile, his acquisition of cannabis companies aims to create the largest Black-owned and licensed cannabis business in the country, seeking to address racial disparities in the industry, as covered by Creator's Blueprint.In sum, Sean Combs remains a towering figure in entertainment and business, but as of late May 2025, the spotlight is on his federal trial and the future of his legacy as more testimonies unfold in court.

The lawsuit between Sean "Diddy" Combs and Diageo is centered on allegations of contract breaches and unequal treatment of Combs' liquor brands. Combs sued Diageo in May 2023, accusing the company of failing to properly support his brands, Cîroc Vodka and DeLeón Tequila, by not providing the resources necessary to position DeLeón as a premium product. Combs argued that Diageo underfunded and mismanaged the brands, which hindered their market performance.Diageo attempted to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming they had invested heavily in the brands. However, in August 2023, a judge allowed some of Combs' claims to move forward, indicating there were legitimate issues to be addressed. Following this, Diageo ended its partnership with Combs, citing that their relationship had deteriorated due to ongoing disputes and public criticism.The lawsuit has raised questions about Diageo's handling of Combs' brands and their contractual obligations. Combs seeks to hold Diageo accountable for what he claims is insufficient support that affected the brands' growth and market competitiveness.(commercial at 8:19)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:v0 (bwbx.io)

Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex trafficking trial resumed in New York City today after a Memorial Day weekend break. The trial, which began earlier this month, entered its third week of testimony with Combs facing serious charges including sex trafficking by force, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy.Last week, rapper Kid Cudi took the stand on Thursday, testifying about alleged incidents involving Combs, including one where he claimed his car was set on fire during his relationship with Cassie Ventura. Kid Cudi described Combs as looking "like a Marvel supervillain" during a subsequent meeting. Following his testimony, a Homeland Security Investigations agent provided evidence about computer data extractions related to the case.Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges, is accused of being the ringleader of an enterprise that allegedly "abused, threatened and coerced women" into drug-fueled sexual encounters he called "freak offs." His defense team maintains that all sexual activities were consensual and that while his relationships sometimes involved domestic violence, he wasn't engaged in trafficking.The hip-hop mogul, once worth an estimated $1 billion, has seen his business empire significantly impacted by these legal troubles. Prior to his arrest, Combs had built a diverse portfolio including the Sean Jean clothing line, a partnership with Diageo for Ciroc vodka and DeLeón tequila (which ended in January 2024), Bad Boy Entertainment record label, and Revolt media company.Court observers have noted Combs' behavior during proceedings, including smiling, making heart-hand gestures to family members, hugging his attorneys, and maintaining a stone-faced expression during certain testimony. His former girlfriend Cassie Ventura previously testified, sharing graphic details about the alleged "freak offs."As this high-profile trial continues, it represents a dramatic fall for one of hip-hop's most successful entrepreneurs. The court is expected to hear from additional witnesses this week as prosecutors build their case against the music industry veteran who is currently detained while his trial proceeds.

Sean "Diddy" Combs's high-profile trial on sex trafficking charges continues to unfold in Manhattan, with his defense team recently concluding cross-examination of his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. This marks the end of the trial's first week, which has featured explosive testimony.Ventura, who testified for four days, broke down as her testimony concluded on May 16. Following her testimony, she and her husband Alex Fine released a statement through their attorney.The prosecution has begun calling additional witnesses, including Dawn Richard of Danity Kane, who testified about seeing Cassie being "attacked" by a "screaming, belligerent" Combs. A special agent also took the stand, presenting evidence about items found in Combs's hotel room at the time of his arrest, including drugs and baby oil.Prosecutors allege that behind Combs's public persona as a charismatic hip-hop mogul, he forced women into drug-fueled sexual encounters with male escorts, which he called "freak-offs," and then blackmailed them with recordings. Evidence presented includes a black fanny pack containing $9,000 in cash that was seized as potential evidence of criminal activity.Combs faces charges of sex trafficking by force, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy. The latest superseding indictment from April 2025 added additional charges, including allegations that he kidnapped a female victim and dangled another over an apartment balcony.Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, with his defense team arguing that all sexual encounters were consensual. His attorney has stated that Combs "vehemently denies the accusations" and "looks forward to his day in court."Before these legal troubles, Combs had built a billion-dollar empire spanning music, fashion, beverages, and media. Starting as an intern at Uptown Records in the early 1990s, he pioneered the model of artist-entrepreneurs, becoming one of hip-hop's first billionaires through ventures like Bad Boy Records, Sean John clothing, and a lucrative partnership with Diageo for Ciroc vodka and DeLeon tequila.The trial continues next week as more witnesses are expected to testify.

Sean "Diddy" Combs Trial: Cassie Ventura Faces Cross-ExaminationThe high-profile trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs continues today with Cassie Ventura returning to court for cross-examination by Diddy's legal team. Yesterday marked the fourth day of proceedings, where Ventura, Combs' former partner of 10 years, continued her testimony against the hip-hop mogul.During yesterday's court session, Ventura testified about a 2016 attack at a Los Angeles hotel, which was captured on CCTV and played in court. She described how Combs threw a vase at her, leaving her with a black eye and fat lip. She also testified that Combs told her to hide her injuries from his son.Perhaps most shocking was Ventura's testimony about what she called "freak offs" - sessions where she claimed Combs paid male escorts up to $6,000 to have sex with her while he watched. She identified several of these men by name and stated that these encounters occurred "hundreds of times," with drugs being present at all of them.The 55-year-old Combs has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has remained jailed in Brooklyn since his September arrest and faces a minimum of 15 years to life in prison if convicted.This trial comes at a critical time for Combs' business empire, estimated to be worth around $1 billion. His flagship Ciroc vodka brand has reportedly seen sales plummet 32% year-on-year in 2025, while Bad Boy Records' catalog value has collapsed to just 10% of its peak worth.Combs built his fortune through strategic investments in music, fashion, beverages, and media. His business portfolio includes partnerships with Diageo for Ciroc vodka and DeLeón tequila, and he recently moved to establish what could become the country's largest Black-owned licensed cannabis company in a deal worth up to $185 million.The trial is expected to continue through mid-July, with a verdict potentially reshaping the future of Combs' business ventures and legacy in entertainment.

The future of carbon conversion. We cover the global energy race, turning CO2 into biofuels, propelling interplanetary travel, modular military refueling stations, and the future of clean energy. Guiding us will be Greg Constantine CEO of AIRCO, one of the most ambitious startups reimagining the role of carbon in our economy and climate future. Headquartered in New York, AIRCO has developed a proprietary technology that captures carbon dioxide and converts it into high-value products, including sustainable aviation fuel, rocket fuel, and even consumer-grade ethanol. Rather than burying carbon underground, AIRCO turns it into something useful—fueling commercial flights, defense operations, and potentially even Mars missions. To date, AIRCO has raised over $100 million from a roster of strategic investors including Carbon Direct Capital, Patriot Capital, Toyota, JetBlue, and has secured large contracts from the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA—including recent work on developing rocket fuel from the Martian atmosphere. Greg Constantine brings a rare blend of operating and investing experience—previously holding senior roles at Diageo and serving as a venture partner at LocalGlobe, where he backed early-stage deep tech and climate companies. Now, he’s at the helm of one of the most frontier-pushing climate startups in the world, blending advanced chemistry, automation, and strategic focus to rewire how we think about carbon.

Ok grab a drink, sit back and relax. Today I dive into a couple of topics. Give my opinion and thoughts on them. Hope you find value in it. This whiskey world is changing and we have to adapt to it.Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Patreon.com/the_whiskeyshamanThe whisky world is changing – it's time others caught upWhisky commentator Colin Hampden-White takes issue with wine writer Andrew Jefford's depiction of the whisky ‘magi'Words by Colin Hampden-White17 December 2020. https://cluboenologique.com/As someone who spends a good deal of time reading, writing, talking about – not to mention consuming – Scotch, I would probably be considered part of the whisky cognoscenti pinpointed by Andrew Jefford in his ‘tips for wine lovers whose heads are turned by whisky', published here last month. In his counsel, Andrew accuses the whisky ‘magi' of having ‘sanctified' a certain type of Scotch for ‘whisky beatitude' – single malt, ideally single-cask bottlings of ‘multitudinous finishes and aged rarities'. It's an outdated view.The proportions of my professional reference points are the inverse of Andrew's. I am a professional whisky communicator, but also a huge wine lover. I chair the Circle of Wine Writers, and still write a great deal about wine; and I can tell Andrew that the days of whisky purists considering blends to be somehow lesser fare than single malts are well and truly over – particularly in the face of such vaunted blends as Chivas' Tribute to Honour (which sells for as much as $240,000) or Diageo's £100,000 Diamond Jubilee. Further down the scale there is a plethora of premium blends, from Pernod Ricard's Royal Salute to Johnnie Walker's Blue Label. These expressions are enjoyed by single malt lovers as much as anyone, who appreciate the complexity of their creation.Acclaimed blends include Chivas' Tribute to Honour and Diageo's £100,000 Diamond JubileeRather than being elitist, the attitude of whisky purists has changed to encourage new enthusiasts of all types. The days of bartenders advocating strict ways to drink whisky and insisting upon the need to take single malt neat are over. I would never want a wine lover to be daunted by high-strength whisky, so I agree with Andrewthat adding water is a good idea – and if you asked the “whisky Magi” today, they would likely say the same. Indeed I would advocate adding as much water as you wish, to suit your taste (though don't forget that most single malt ranges, at 10 or 12 years old, come in at 40% ABV – so anyone who has enjoyed a good Martini will be very familiar with how they react to high-strength spirits).Whisky in the 1980s was not a particularly popular drink. While many people still drank Scotch, it was is no way, shape or form trendy. All that changed in the late 1990s, when a new breed of whisky drinker emerged. This consumer sought rare single malts and even single cask offerings – something the industry duly noted and promoted accordingly.Whisky may have a romantic, nostalgic image but it is attracting a more contemporary audience, says Hampden-White. Photo by Martin Scott PowellIt's your whisky, drink it however you likeIt became clear by the mid-2000s, however, that if whisky's appeal was to grow further, it would have to be introduced to the mainstream market – and that by keeping whisky exclusive and elitist, this would never happen. From that point on, the whisky industry changed its tune, and the tartan, bagpipes and cask-strength whisky had to step aside. There was a new message to anyone keen to newcomers asking how the spirit should be drunk: “It's your whisky, drink it however you like”.

My guest this week is someone whose career path may not be linear, but it's been anything but boring.  Jason Chebib started out in some of London's top ad agencies, including Ogilvy, Publicis, J. Walter Thompson, and BBDO, where he worked alongside CMOs and future CMOs at brands like Shell, Unilever, Dyson, Mars, and Ford. Then came a pivot—from creating campaigns to teaching the science behind them. Jason traveled the world, training the next generation of marketers in what actually works when it comes to growing brands. Eventually, he jumped back into the deep end—this time client-side at Diageo. First in Amsterdam, working on global strategy for Johnnie Walker, and then in New York as Head of Planning for Diageo North America, where he shaped the future of brands like Smirnoff, Baileys, Guinness, and Captain Morgan. Now fully rooted in the U.S., Jason has worn many hats—from advising agencies to serving as Committee Chair of Agency Relations at the ANA and Co-Chair of the Marketing Society in New York. He brings the kind of perspective that only comes from being deep in the trenches: agency, client, strategy, research, and education. And while he's not one to chase titles, let's just say his next chapter is wide open—and any brand would be lucky to have him. I am proud to call him my friend, my confidant, my mentor: Jason Chebib.
