Maker's Mark Tastings/Jane Conner

[HighTower]

There's a string of Maker's Mark tastings going on in Australia at the moment, and they are being conducted by a woman who works at the distillery.....her name is Jane Conner. I couldn't find any information on her, does anyone know anything about her?

It seems Maker's Mark just went up $5 down here...maybe that was to pay for her trip over here!:grin:

Jane Conner is, in fact, a new "Whisky Chick" for Maker’s Mark. She was specifically hired to take care of the UK … but is assuming some other international duties as well.

Hey Scott, is there any information on her comming to Brisbane?

If so, is it open to the public?

Whisky Chick?? I prefer Bourbon Babe! LOL!!

It is nice to see women active in the promotion of, in this case, a Tennessee whiskey.

Taste buds are taste buds.

We need more whiskey chicks and bourbon babes.

I have gotten the misses to drink a few Jack and Cokes lately. But the mood has to strike her just right. Married women are like that:cool:

When did Maker's Mark move? The last time I visited, they were in Kentucky.

Sorry, bonehead mistake. I'm sick and running a fever and apparently can't keep threads straight.

Hope it's nothing a warm whiskey won't cure - get well soon!

Jane will be in the below cities for the balance of her Australia trip:

Brisbane July 16-21

Perth July 23-25

Adelaide July 26-29

Jane is spending each am training the distributor sales people and afternoon / evenings conducting tasting in very nice bottle shops.

I am working on getting exact locations for Brisbane.

The marketing team are all ladies and have refered to themselves as Whiskey Chicks as long as I have known them.

Dale, thanks heaps for the dates. If Jane is in Brisbane from 16-21 July, then Scott and I will try and get to at least one and say G'day :cool:. (As it turns out, I'm out of MM at the moment, so I'll probably pick up a couple of bottles in the process ...might even cary one of my Ambassador cards as well :grin: )

No problem .... I have sent her an e-mail asking for details for next week. As soon as I hear, I will post the info. It may not be until Monday.

By all means take your card along. And have a wee dram for me.

Nice work Dale, thanks!

We (Scott - Hightower and myself) managed to catch up with Jane at Vintage Cellars in George St Brisbane. She was a wealth of information and is a fantastic abassador for Makers Mark. It was a great hour or so :cool:

Jane, if you read this, thanks so much for your time and endless patience with our questions :grin:

I'm so glad you found her. My e-mail for her must be wrong. It bounced and I could not get ahold of anyone that had a detailed list of her schedule.

When I am able to e-mail her, I will pass along your comments.

[HighTower]

Yeah Jane was cool, it was great to meet her and hear her tales from Kentucky....
