    ABOUT THE PROJECT

    LOGLINE
    THE SPIRIT OF WOMEN takes an intimate look at the trailblazing women who are changing the entire landscape for females in the male-dominated world of whiskey and bourbon.

    SYNOPSIS
    THE SPIRIT OF WOMEN is a female driven piece that takes an intimate look at the women paving the way for females in the male dominated world of whiskey and bourbon. The film will sit down with these trailblazing women, who are changing the entire landscape of the what the world thinks it knows about women and whiskey—and most of them are the first in their field. This includes the first female bourbon taster in the world, the first female Master Distiller in Kentucky, the first female African—American Master Blender, the first female African-American CEO of any major spirit brand among others. We will also take on the important social issue of sexism, as well as how women’s involvement in the alcohol industry has been buried throughout the ages.
