After studies at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, she works as a brand ambassador for including Douglas Laing & Co., A. Dewar Rattray and now for Wemyss Malts. Since she is married by Donald Colville, who is Brand Ambassador for Diageo, it is obviously that Whisky is a natural topic of conversation. Wemyss has focused on taste and smell by naming their products after its flavor instead of the distillery. |
