WOMEN IN WHISKEY Week
March 16-22
Celebrating women in whiskey through the stories, history and events.
Women's History Month
The month marks Women’s History Month, this year we’re dedicating a whole week to highlighting women in whiskey.
Throughout the week we’ll be sharing stories on our social channels and hosting a handful of special events at the distillery to celebrate the women shaping the industry—past and present. We’d also love for you to share this with the women in your life and join the conversation, whether it’s a distiller, bartender, friend, family member, or simply someone who introduced you to whiskey.
Join the conversations with our community over on our social media.
