I met bourbon legend @jackiezykan at a tasting by @oldforester last week. As Master Taster of the distillery, Jackie is responsible for a lot of absolutely phenomenal bourbon out there in the market.
.
.
But you wouldn’t know it from talking to her. She’s humble, down to earth, and a good conversationalist through and through. I could’ve chatted with her for hours.
.
.
One of the most interesting things she shared with me was her perspective on women in bourbon. I asked her about what I perceived was a recent increase of women working in bourbon, and she so politely informed me that women have been working in the bourbon world since day 1. It’s just that we’re now paying attention.
.
.
She also expressed support for forthcoming TTB regulations, to the extent that they will make bourbon labels more transparent for consumers.
.
.
I’m starstruck. I can’t wait for another chance to chat with her again, next time hopefully over a barrel selection at the distillery. Until then!
