#2 Meet our Team – Katherine Merson
In the second of our bio’s to allow you to get to know our team a little better, meet Katherine!
HR Consultant by day, Katherine is our Director, HR specialist and all round admin support. A relative whisky novice, Katherine is learning on the job as she continues to develop her whisky knowledge.
Katherine was born in Scotland, on the mainland, and now loves to visit her family who live on the stunning island of Arran. Close enough to the Arran Distillery for a frequent dram. Katherine moved to Australia 10 years ago. She loves that whisky offers a connection to home whilst at the same time opening her world to a whole new group of friends and interesting folks!
Katherine’s entry point into the world of whisky was the now discontinued, Glenmorangie 15 Year Old Sauternes Cask.
