Michael Perez

Senior Whiskey Educator

Michael Perez is a Senior Whiskey Educator at the Whiskey Library in Washington, DC. Michael has been working with the Whiskey Library since its founding in 2014. He has more than 10 years’ experience leading public, corporate, and private events.

A fan of whiskeys from around the world, Michael is particularly interested in finding the sweet-spot of quality bottles that taste great, are accessible to find, and don't cost an arm and a leg. While most days are a good day for a nice dram, Michael believes that whiskey is best enjoyed with close friends and while creating special memories. As such, he enjoys leading novice and experienced drinkers alike through the process of understanding and appreciating what is in their glass.

When he is not challenging his friends with blind whiskey tastings, Michael can usually be found honing his chess skills with his faithful dog, Hops, by his side.
