34 / the tasting panel / june 2016 CURRENT EVENTS q q The Tasting Panel has designed a series of exciting events centered around the connection between one of our favorite spirits—whisk(e)y—and activities that, like whisk(e)y-making, require focus, precision, creativity and passion. From cooking to art to fashion, we'll explore the parallels between these disciplines and the craft of producing and appreciating artisan spirits. We invite working female chefs, sommeliers, wine buyers, bartenders and beverage directors to email WomenInWhiskeyLA@TastingPanelMag.com or WomenInWhiskeySF@TastingPanelMag.com to join the Women in Whiskey Society invitation list in your city!
