As a woman, I like to spotlight women who are doing great things in the beverage industry. For instance, Mikalia Ulmer, a young woman I interviewed a year ago, has recently written a book titled “Bee Fearless,” about her passion to start a lemonade business, save the honeybees and inspire others to follow their dreams.
I’d also like to recognize Stephanie Macleod, Master Blender for John Dewar and Sons, who is the first woman to win the Whisky of the Year award at the 11th International Whisky Competition. For the second straight year, she also earned the title of Master Blender of the Year
