Lt. Col. Gary Odle

Whiskey University Quiz Coordinator

Email Address:  Gary@WhiskeyUniv.com

Lt. Col. Gary Odle has been a member of Whiskey University since Mid 2022. In 2016 Whiskey University began offering Certificates, Diplomas and Degrees. Gary earned his Whiskey Diploma on October 4th, 2022 and then finished all seven degrees at warp speed. He has earned the highest title of a “Chartered Master Whiskey Taster” and has earned his Master of Arts Degree from Whiskey University on January 22nd, 2024 with a total of 60 Credits in four Majors completed in The Bourbon Capital Region, The Bluegrass Region, The Tennessee Whiskey Region and the Mid-Atlantic Rye Region.

Gary actually grew up in Louisville Kentucky in the 60’s and 70’s. He attended the University of Louisville. Odle and his wife and I have been married 25 plus years. He works for the Government in Logistics. Gary earned his Associate Degree at 20 credits on December 13th, 2022 earning him the title of “Certified Bourbon Taster.” He went on to earn his Bachelor of Arts Degree at 40 credits becoming a “Master Whiskey Taster” on April 6th, 2023.

Gary had always been around bourbon and start sipping on it one summer and thought, “I really like this.” I did a little research on-line and found Whiskey University. Odle now serves as the Whiskey University Quiz Committee Chairman putting together over 120 quizzed that have been assigned over 104,000 times to reinforce education. Gary has helped to develop quizzes and load them into the system so they can be released for everyone to take after attending their appropriate class.

Odle has also co-hosted a number of classes and taught his first class just months after double bypass surgery. Recently Gary started a tasting night with 5 gentlemen from the neighbor teaching them about whiskey. They have loved it so much, that they are out buying a lot of bourbon and whiskey, but their wives blame Gary for it.

Rebecca (Becky) Babb has been a member of Whiskey University since December of 2020. In 2016, Whiskey University began offering Certificates, Diplomas, and Degrees. Becky earned her Bourbon Diploma in February 16th, 2021.

Becky is an H.R. Compliance Specialist with AAIM Employers’ Association in St. Louis, Missouri. Becky grew up in Ohio but has lived all over the U. S. and in Europe. Born in Tiffin, Ohio, Becky attended the University of Findlay to earn her Bachelors’ Degree in Business, her M.B.A. from Ashland University, and her J.D. from the University of Toledo. She has worked for the Wall St. Journal, is licensed in North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida specializing in civil litigation and is now working as a HR Compliance Specialist serving the Missouri and Illinois markets.

Becky’s journey of discovering the rich dimensions of bourbons and whiskey began while residing in Nashville, Tennessee in 2017. She and her husband began visiting local distilleries in and around Kentucky and Tennessee. There is an explosion of creativity in producing complex, flavorful spirits, attitudes have shifted, and as the drink-ability of bourbon and whiskey continued to emerge her love affair with the many varieties of liquid gold flourished.  Becky remains in awe of how dramatically the world of bourbon and whiskey is changing and is more approachable than ever. She enjoys the flavor, the burn, and the lingering finish of bourbon and whiskey when compared with other spirits.  She is one of the original Missouri Bourbon Women’ Branch Ambassadors and is active in several local St. Louis Bourbon/Whiskey groups. Becky likes her coffee black and her bourbon and whiskey neat. Cheers!
