Douglas Fraser has been a member of Whiskey University since April of 2021. In 2016, Whiskey University began offering Certificates, Diplomas and Degrees. Doug earned his Bourbon Diploma on September 7th, 2021.
Originally from Vermont, Douglas has served in the U.S. Air Force since 2010. After leaving active duty and joining the National Guard, Douglas moved to Northern Virginia where he worked as a Police Officer in Washington D.C. Douglas left Law Enforcement in 2021 and went into the banking industry in Northern VA. Douglas is currently living with his wife in Fairfax, Virginia and also works part time as a contributing writer for The Whiskey Reviewer, an online whiskey blog, where he is able to taste whiskies from all around the world. He is also heavily present on Instagram and Facebook.
Doug was part of the sixth semester of Instructors to graduate with her Associate Degree and the Title of “Certified Bourbon Taster” after passing 16 classes on December 1st, 2021. Fraser earned her Bachelor of Science Degree with 25 classes and the Title of “Adjunct Master Bourbon Taster” from Whiskey University on March 22nd, 2022.
Douglas holds an Associate’s of Applied Science degree in Criminal Justice from the Community College of the Air Force, a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Intelligence Studies from the American Military University, and is currently attending classes for his Master of Arts Degree in Human Resources, at the same time, a certification in Distilled Spirits Business from the University of Louisville. Douglas also has Diplomas in Irish Whiskey and Scotch Whisky through Edinburgh Whisky Academy.
Douglas credits his love of all things whisky to his Scottish roots. It all started in a whiskey bar in Fort Collins, Colorado, when he was curiously trying different whiskies including Lagavulin 16 that he saw in the famous show Parks and Recreation. After tasting it, he fell in love with the bonfire smokiness that caressed his palate. Since then, his love of whiskey has grown to Bourbon and other American whiskies, Japanese Whisky, Irish Whiskey, and others from all over the world. Douglas regularly goes off on adventures with bottles of whiskey for his whiskey photography hobby and tastes as much as he can to expand his nose and palate. Douglas continues to expand his knowledge of whiskey and distillation and hopes to one day enter the industry. You can find Doug at The Whiskey Reviewer website,
