"My palate has got better now that I have moved into spirits. I encourage all sommeliers to learn about spirits as much as I encourage all bartenders to learn about wine."
Dawn Davies
Dawn Davies is Head Buyer at The Whisky Exchange. Women in The Food Industry co-founder Mecca Ibrahim, caught up with Dawn to discover how she made the move from wine to whisky, and with over two decades of working in the drinks industry behind her, we learnt what she thinks of the trend towards low / no alcohol drinks.
