Her Whisky Love Becomes a Career (WhiskyCast Episode 728: September 27, 2018)

 


In 2016, Holly Seidewand started a journey that would change her
life by traveling to Scotland to learn more about whisky. That
journey later took her to Japan and Australia, and it continues
today - only as a whisky professional. Earlier this year, she
joined Bacardi as the US brand ambassador for the John Dewar
& Sons range of single malts from Scotland. She'll share her
journey with us on WhiskyCast In-Depth, including the story of a
distillery manager who helped her earn her certificate in brewing
and distilling from Heriot-Watt University in Scotland by putting
her to work. In the news, Brexit is six months away and there's
growing tension within the whisky industry over the impact of
Great Britain's departure from the European Union. We'll have
that story, along with a look at the state of the US craft
distilling industry and this weekend's preview of rare whiskies
that will go on the virtual auction block next month.
