Ballet and whisky might seem a weird combination, but for Allison Parc they are the ingredients that make her company Brenne French Malt Whisky unique. At the age of 23, she traded ballet shoes and a stellar career performing with national ballet companies for whisky flasks and brewery casks. Today, she is one of the leading American entrepreneurs in the world whisky segment and the first woman to be named World Whisky Brand Ambassador of the Year in Whisky Magazine’s Icons of Whisky Awards. On this week’s episode, Allison talks about the challenges of entering an entirely new industry, the ballet skills that helped ease her pivot towards a new career, and the lessons she learned while moving from the barre to the bar.
