Becky is a spirits journalist, whisky specialist, consultant and presenter who has been passionately covering the drinks industry for over 12 years. Most recently she was
editor of leading online magazine Scotchwhisky.com and global trade title The Spirits Business.
She became the first journalist to gain a General Certificate in Distillation with the Institute of Brewing and Distilling – a qualification usually reserved for distillery
operators, and is also a member of exclusive society Keepers of the Quaich. In March 2020 she was named Icons of Whisky Communicator of the Year.
Becky is an advocate for challenging cultural misconceptions about whisky, and in 2018 co-founded the OurWhisky movement to promote whisky as a diverse and widely
accessible drink. Now evolved into an educational platform, OurWhisky helps curious consumers navigate the world of whisky in an accessible, inclusive and easy-tofollow
environment.
She regularly presents educational seminars at global drinks festivals including Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans and The Whisky Show in London.
