More about Travis…
Travis Ranville can be best described as a “Jack of all trades, master on none.” His hilariously crafty and witty mind has catapulted Mr. Ranville into many interesting roles throughout his life. From undercover work as a private investigator, MBA graduate, stock market analyst to now a whisky entrepreneur, Mr. Ranville has always taken the approach of business mixed with pleasure. Growing up in Cadillac, Michigan (named after the French explorer, not the car) his Midwestern attitude and charm has been a key contributor to his overall success. Being co-creator of the concept and lifestyle brand name “Scotchdale” whisky he has learned to collaborate with creative business geniuses (Scotchdale business partner John McDonnell) to bring their premium whisky venture to market. Being very passionate about whisky and fine spirits, Mr. Ranville continues to explore imaginative ways to import and brand new spirit concepts (tequila, Irish whiskey).
