Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the identified tone (Knowledgeable, Accessible, Sophisticated yet Approachable, Service-Oriented, Trustworthy) with clear examples of "do's and don'ts" for language, style, and vocabulary. This ensures anyone creating content understands the desired voice.
• •Understand Your Audience Segments: Tailor the accessibility of your language. While maintaining sophistication, ensure that content aimed at beginners is clear and welcoming, avoiding overly niche jargon without explanation.
• •Focus on Benefits and Experience: Don't just list features (e.g., "aged 12 years"). Explain the benefit or experience this offers (e.g., "delivers a smooth, mellow character perfect for easy sipping"). This connects with the aspirational and appreciative aspects of the brand.
• •Maintain Authenticity and Passion: Let the genuine love for whiskey shine through. Use descriptive, evocative language that conveys enthusiasm and expertise without sounding pretentious. Share stories, tasting notes, and pairing suggestions.
• •Consistency Across All Channels: Ensure the tone is consistent across the website, emails, social media, product descriptions, and any customer service interactions. Regular audits of content can help maintain this consistency.
