The OurWhisky Foundation works to promote gender equality in whisky, providing a free modern media library, a platform to share women's stories, and a global mentorship scheme to help women achieve their whisky-related goals. In this episode, Becky discusses how the OurWhisky Foundation came to be, the challenges women continue to face working in whisky – and also the positive changes she has seen across the sector. </p><p><br></p><p>Keep up to date with the latest spirits and cocktail news from <em>The Spirits Business</em> here:</p><p>https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/</p><p><br></p><p>Follow along on Instagram:</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/spiritsbusiness/</p><p><br></p><p>Keep updated on LinkedIn:</p><p>https://www.linkedin.com/company/spirits-business/</p><p><br></p><p>Follow along on X (formerly Twitter):</p><p>https://x.com/spiritsbusiness</p><p><br></p><p><em>The Spirits Business Podcast </em>is hosted by Melita Kiely, editor of <em>The Spirits Business</em>.
