Delve into the limelight: Discover "Whisky Central," your next quarantine binge-worthy channel
Spotlight Series: Emerging Booze Connoisseur Shayla, AKA Whisky Central
Ah, another round in our series highlighting up-and-coming talent from the marvelous world of spirits! This time, we're about to dive deep into the world of whiskey, with a vibrant 24-year-old enthusiast named Shayla who's rocking the whiskey scene with her YouTube channel, Whisky Central.
We couldn't resist asking her for a quick run-down on what initially sparked her fascination with whiskey, her journey to the limelight, and her top bottle picks. Let's get to know Shayla a bit better, shall we?
Brainchild of Booze and Social Media
As a young'un, Shayla worked for a local vineyard in Oregon, honing her nascent interest in the realm of winemaking. One fateful day, she stumbled upon the marvelous elixir that is Scotch whiskey. The rest, as they say, is history.
Her obsession bloomed into a full-blown passion, leading her to immerse herself in the scintillating characters of whiskey's storied past. As the saying goes, desperate times call for desperate measures, and after inadvertently annoying her husband with her Scotch-infused chatter, he suggested she create a YouTube channel to entertain others instead of him (and poor vodka lovers everywhere).
Riding on the Wave of Whiskey Tubers
Initially, Shayla had no idea that a bustling community of WhiskeyTubers thrived, creating fantastic content and building a passionate fanbase. After discovering them, she dove headfirst into this wonderful subculture, interacting with kindred spirits from countries as far-flung as Scotland, Indonesia, and The Netherlands.
Emboldened by the camaraderie, Shayla launched her channel, Whisky Central, in May. After months of research, shooting, and editing her first video like a wide-eyed rookie, she finally released it into the world and was astonished by the response, netting 83 views. Since then, she's produced nearly thirty review videos, delving into the nuances of Scotch, Bourbon, Rye, Irish, and global whiskies.
The Soul of Whisky: Not Just Booze, but Brotherhood
So, what keeps this sprightly whiskey aficionado going? It's the beautiful spirit, yes, but it's also the people that Shayla has met through that spirit that captivated her heart. Whiskey has introduced her to a vibrant, generous, and kind community that crosses borders and creates a genuinely unified fellowship.
"In an increasingly divisive world, whisky is a spirit that brings us closer," she asserts. To Shayla, it's more than just a drink; it's a beacon that draws people together and gives them that precious sense of belonging.
The Art of the Cocktail, Once in a Blue Moon
A self-proclaimed purist, Shayla prefers to savor her whiskey neat. Every now and then, she indulges in a marvelous whiskey cocktail, tickling her taste buds with a Scotch and ginger ale, a perfect Old Fashioned, or a smoky Manhattan.
