A Fans Point of View from the Whiskey World

Fan goers give there reflection on there favorite brand

By: Johnny Suchit


What would searching the interwebs on the world of Whiskey be like without taking a look at the fans point of view, after all they are the ones that are purchasing and consuming there beverages. I tapped in to a fan club page for Chivas Regal on Facebook and while I wasn’t surprised at what I say, there really wasn’t anything else besides the one sided content on the page. Almost all videos related to attractive men and women in beach wear with a Chivas drink with them promoting the brand as the summer season was evident in these videos. However some of the videos didn’t even relate to Chivas and therefore was just complete useless content that left me wondering why it wasn’t posted to begin with. You can also find this sort of thing for fan pages on Twitter and Instagram as well.


I then cross referenced with a fan page for Canadian Club on Instagram and found it to be more reserved and relaxed with mostly all content shared was an advertisement, and various brands of the whiskey with little to know reviews on how they enjoyed the product. Page Authority for this page was 47 while the Domain Authority was 99. I was then curious to see what the Page Authority for the Chivas Facebook fan page was and after seeing 1 for it, I wasn’t shocked at all to say the least.


Given that the Chivas fan pages used one of the most popular marketing tool for there campaign of content sharing, the numbers don’t lie and it’s clear that viewers are looking for something new and fresh to share in its content and not revert to the obvious. I enjoy and welcome these new ideas and more reserve approach on how this Instagram page chose to share there favorite whiskey pictures because to me it shows that some users are more into the product itself and not using a reliable and popular marketing tool, change is good and makes me more interested in these concepts.
