Jonah Flicker is a freelance journalist who writes about drinks, spirits, and lifestyle. His work has appeared in a variety of outlets including Robb Report, Men's Journal, Food & Wine, Maxim, USA Today, CNN, Travel + Leisure, Wine Enthusiast, Vinepair, and more. He is also a judge for two spirits competitions--the John Barleycorn Awards and the New York World Wine and Spirits Competition.

Jonah has traveled the world over the past decade visiting distilleries in the USA, Mexico, Europe, Asia, and Canada to try different categories of spirits and discover the stories behind the booze and the people responsible for making it. Bourbon is his first love, but he has a place in his heart for other spirits like single malt scotch, Irish single pot still, and Japanese whisky, tequila, mezcal, gin, rum, and even sometimes vodka. Jonah lives in Brooklyn with his family and a terrier mix named Basil.
