The Balvenie in Canada celebrates Women's Month by honoring three remarkable women leaders in the whisky industry. Kelsey McKechnie, Gemma Paterson, and Jamie Johnson showcase exceptional skill, creativity, and passion in their respective roles. Kelsey, The Balvenie's first female Malt Master, brings innovative approaches to crafting traditional single malts while Gemma, a Global Brand Manager, has been instrumental in expanding the brand's reach and recognition. As the Canadian Brand Ambassador, Jamie has had the opportunity to engage and educate whisky enthusiasts, "both new and experienced scotch drinkers and collectors."
