Hush & Whisper Distillary

Nikolai Bogost is the tasting room manager for Hush & Whisper Distillery in Downtown Bryan. 

Nikolai joins the Hush and Whisper team with six years of bartending and restaurant experience. He moved to Bryan, Texas from Fort Hood at the age of 21, and started learning the craft of bartending just down the street at The Downtown Elixir. Since then he has bartended, head bartended, and managed the Front of House at Gate 12 Bar and Grill. He has several awards from bartending, including claim to one of the top 12 cocktails in the US from the International House of Lustau, and is an active member of the Chilled 100. Realizing he missed shaking cocktails and forming relationships with his guests in a bar setting, he comes to Hush and Whisper excited to showcase our local spirits and work with experienced bartenders to bring one of the most authentic cocktail experiences to Downtown Bryan. On his spare time he enjoys the company of his dogs, cats, and chickens, experimenting with cocktails, and sharing his passion with others.
