"To find the truth, question everything."
Drew Hannush Bio
Best-selling Author, Whisky Historian, and World Whisky Ambassador
Celebrating over two decades as an entrepreneur, Drew Hannush has taken the business acumen developed during his 20 years as owner of the Hannush Web Design firm and brought his drive and passion into the world of whisky.
In 2019, he founded Travel Fuels Life, LLC with an initial mission of teaching people how to live a travel lifestyle. What he learned along the way is that travel needs purpose to be truly fulfilling. It was during these travels that he went on a themed trip to Kentucky so he could learn about Bourbon. After visiting 17 distilleries in Kentucky and two more in Tennessee in eight days, he fell in love with the history, stories, and traditions of whisky distilling. But he also noticed that not all distilleries were telling the same story. His natural curiosity led him to shift from travel to creating the Whiskey Lore podcast.
Drew’s journey has now taken him to over 300 distilleries worldwide, exploring the unique stories and traditions behind each one. In 2025, he embarked on his ambitious “Great 48 Tour,” visiting craft distilleries across the United States, one state at a time, connecting with the passionate people behind America’s vibrant distilling scene. These experiences, combined with his meticulous research, have culminated in Whiskey Lore: Volume One, a deep dive into 24 whiskey myths and legends that reveal the real stories behind the lore.
Drew’s passion for whisky history and storytelling doesn’t stop there. He is also creating the ultimate distillery travel guide at whiskey-lore.com/travel, providing a comprehensive resource for planning immersive distillery visits. His earlier books, Experiencing Kentucky Bourbon and Experiencing Irish Whiskey, have set a standard for whisky travel guides, and he continues to raise the bar with every new project.
The success of his books and podcast has driven Drew’s mission to uncover more stories, write more books, and bring whisky scholarship to a higher level. Along the way, he is spreading the word through guided whisky tastings, speaking engagements, and interviews around the globe, inspiring whisky enthusiasts and travelers alike to explore the rich history and culture of this beloved spirit.
