Heaven Hill Distillery Recognizes Women’s History Month

Heaven Hill Distillery Recognizes Women’s History Month

Heaven Hill Distillery Blog

This month on the HHD blog, National Spirits Specialist and Portfolio Mixologist Lynn House shares the history of women in whiskey and reflects on her career.

“I think a lot of people don’t really realize how hard women have had to work to get into this industry,” she says. “So, to understand the history of it, and the work that has been done, I think it fuels you a little bit. It’s that foundation and always understanding where you’ve come from, and I think it gives you a map of where to go or what needs to be done.”

The story takes a look back at Lynn’s experience in bartending and a fuller look at the history of women in bartending.

“There’s a lot of history this industry needs to unpack,” said Lynn. “That’s why I wanted to share these stories, this history.”

Tales from the Hill Podcast

HHD also created a feature podcast for Women’s History Month, sitting down with five women from across Heaven Hill – distillers, marketers, educators and more – to learn about their unique roles, backgrounds and thoughts on what’s ahead in the industry.

American Whiskey Writer Steve Coomes moderates a panel with Chief Marketing Officer Kate Shapira Latts, Vice President, American Whiskey Susan Wahl, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer Jes Pendergrass, Lynn House and Distillery Quality Control Specialist Abby Long.
