From Wine Enthusiast to Whiskey Maestro

Joshua Thinnes, Subtle Spirits

– The Sharkpreneur podcast with Seth Greene Episode 1008 Joshua Thinnes

A musician at heart, Joshua Thinnes founded Subtle Spirits as a way to get back in touch with his desire to create. He spent 11 years as a buyer at a well-known wine and spirits store in San Francisco. He fell in love with wine first, and as a buyer, had the privilege of tasting thousands of wines from top producers around the world. He began traveling frequently to Kentucky to select single casks of bourbon and rye for the stores, and that is where his obsession for spirits really took off. After a three-week pilgrimage to Scotland, he was officially hooked. His passion for immersing himself fully in the experience has led him to wineries and distilleries all over the world.

Always a futurist, in 2021 Joshua was the first to combine spirits and art in a brand-new way by creating the first NFT backed limited-edition whiskey on the Ethereum blockchain.
