S01E08: Breaking barriers in an ever-evolving whiskey industry – Georgie Bell from The Heart Cut


Listen Later

Having launched this year, The Heart Cut has taken the industry at pace, recognised at this year's Icons of Whisky Awards as the independent bottler to watch.


Drawing on her years of experience in the industry as a passionate whisky drinker, educator and brand ambassador for drinks powerhouses like Bacardi and Diageo, she has quite literally bottled her insights and knowledge into a brand that puts the spotlight on new-world whisky distilleries

from across the globe.


In this episode, she talks about her take on breaking down unnecessary barriers to enable emerging interest and accessibility to the spirit, the importance of packaging and design to magnify the sensory appeal of the whisky and how important advocacy and education can be for a brand's

success.
