Teaches at Astor Center

Robin Robinson has combined his background in theatre and sales with a life-long love of single malt Scotch whisky to serve as the US Brand Ambassador for Compass Box Whisky.

Robin is in demand as a lecturer on brown spirits and whisky and aside from the many “spontaneous” whisky lectures during the course of duties, has spoken at the renowned Astor Center in New York; Brooklyn's International Wine Center, the Culinary Institute of America and the International Culinary Center in NYC. Robin has been featured in publications such as 201 Magazine and the Chicago Sun Times. He lives in New Jersey.

    The instructor was extremely personable and knowledge. He taught us different ways to notice our whiskey on her nose and palate. Would recommend for the knowledge and the ability to taste different whiskies you wouldn’t otherwise buy on your own.

    Excellent class! Lots of great information and good pacing between giving that information and trying the whiskey. The speaker was engaging, friendly, and always willing to answer questions. We will definitely be back for more classes with him!

    Very detailed, knowledgeable instructor, but would have preferred more time to appreciate the whiskeys vs sitting through PowerPoint slides, especially since we ran over the allotted time in order to finish all the whiskeys
