Paul Jones

Johnnie Walker Ambassador, West Coast

Known for his unwavering commitment to local produce and unique culinary techniques, Paul Jones has created quite the name for himself. From starting as an assistant bartender to famed Los Angeles bartender + chef Mathew Biancinello to creating custom menus, launching new concept bars, and leading whisky dinners for local bars and restaurants, Paul has a true talent and passion for craft cocktails and curating spirits tastings. Prior to becoming the West Coast Johnnie Walker Ambassador, he was as the Beverage Director for Decker Kitchen in Westlake Village. From the beginning, his focus was on platforming unique spirits and sourcing local flavors exclusively from the Santa Monica farmers market and surrounding farms including Apricot Lanes. Paul built his reputation as a true Bar Chef, adopting cutting-edge culinary techniques (sous vide-infused cocktails , centrifuged local ingredients ) to his acclaimed program. Paul is excited to bring his passion for culture, spirits, and building community and sets to fuel inspiration and appreciation for Johnnie Walker through the Blending Lab Workshop and beyond.
