Native des Alpes, c’est après ses études d’œnologie que Sarah s’est jetée tête la première dans le royaume d’Écosse où le whisky est roi. Élevée au biberon par Glenfarclas puis Gordon & MacPhail, elle n’a ensuite pas pu résister à l’appel du Grand Nord canadien où on lui a confié l’élaboration du whisky de la distillerie Menaud au Québec. C’est dans ces contrées plus sauvages qu’un carcajou grognon que vous la croiserez, crapahutant sur les hauts sommets avec toujours sa flasque de whisky prête à être dégainée si d’aventure, elle rencontre d’autres épicuriens.

Sean, as his spouse calls him, makes no bones as to how opinionated he is while still listening and examining all sides because it enhances constant exploration. He welcomed the whisky world unabashedly with a vigor hardly matched and is proud to share his knowledge and journey with others.
