About

Hello! My name is Kristiane [Kris-tee-AH-nah] and I write, talk and taste all things whisky I've written about spirits since 2012, and my work has appeared in Whisky Magazine, The Malt Whisky Yearbook, The Times, The Sunday Post, Club Oenologique, Whiskeria, The Cocktail Lovers, and many more. Previously I've held roles including editor at The Spirits Business and head of content at Master of Malt, where I also trained as a WSET Spirits Educator. As a judge in the UK and US, I've tasted thousands of samples from whisky distilleries around the world. Plus, I was one of the first people in the UK to achieve the WSET Level 3 Award in Spirits.An accomplished presenter, I've hosted numerous tastings, chaired panel discussions, co-hosted live broadcasts, and appeared as a guest on drink podcasts. I've provided expert commentary to Radio 5 Live, The Spectator, Red, Forbes, and more. I also serve as an advisor to the EU's ‘More Than Only Food & Drink campaign. A passionate advocate for equity in whisky, my work on social media drives education and inclusivity with the vision that whisky is for everyone.Follow me on Instagram @kristianewestray.
