Adam Slobodian
The call of rum, palm trees and a Dive Instructor’s certificate first brought Adam from Toronto, Canada, to Cayman in 2004. He has spent many of the intervening years in Cayman but no matter where in the world he found himself, Ireland’s uisce beatha (or aqua vitae, water of life) has led him to enjoy the ebb and flow of whiskey’s tide. Learning about alcohol became a passion and working bars around the world became his classroom. He has completed numerous spirit certifications and considers himself lucky to be in a position where he can now share his knowledge both inside and outside of the bar.
