Bio
Russell Cook
Nathan aka "Nudge" is a professional in the Wine and Spirits industry. I imagine that he will soon be snatched up by one of the major Brand House's either in Australia or abroad. His expertise in Mixology is ahead of the pack as he is always keen to create new things. Above and beyond his skills in mixology and events, he is extremely personable and is forever increasing his knowledge of products and brand history. His passion for whisk(e)y is contagious and his industry knowledge sets him up for success in any brand development or territory management role.
