Black-tied waiters circled with
coconut shrimp and crab cakes
while a few dozen guests – mainly men
in their twenties and thirties – moved
from station to station comparing notes
on the Scotch whiskies they were sampling.
Bob Littlefield beamed as he circulated
through the crowd.But despite
the appearance he’d given of taking
regular sips,his glass still held the same
four ounces poured for him an hour
ago.It wasn’t that he didn’t like the
taste; he loved it.It was his company’s
best-selling product.Tonight,however,
he was on the job.
A division president wouldn’t normally
be playing host at such a smallscale
customer event–Glenmeadie had
four of these Tastemakers gatherings
planned in each of 25 cities this year
alone – but this one happened to coincide
with a trip Bob was making to
New York.Given that he had just joined
the company three months earlier,it
was a good opportunity to see his
CMO’s marketing approach up close
and to take the pulse of a tier of customers
he wouldn’t ordinarily interact
with.The guests were mostly bartenders
from the city’s upscale bars,with a few
club owners and liquor distributors
mixed in.
Graciously exiting a conversation that
threatened to monopolize him,Bob
moved toward a group congregated
around the blind-tasting table.One of
Glenmeadie’s apprentice distillers was
there helping guests appreciate the
subtleties of different blends and single
malts.Working alongside a buyer from
a big local distributor,the lad seemed
enthusiastic and knowledgeable,if a bit
