Our guest for today speaks many languages but unfortunately Dutch isn’t one of them. So, it’s another episode in English!

Gabriele Tručionytė, born in Lithuania, has been immersed in the whisky industry for almost a decade. Her journey in the drinks industry began even earlier when we worked as a bartender and bar manager, including stints at a whisky bar. Driven by passion, she took it upon herself to learn about every whisky bottle in the bar, eventually becoming a bar manager. Beyond whisky, she dreams of combining her service industry experience with business or even pursuing her childhood dream of becoming an archaeologist, akin to Lara Croft.

She was in Belgium for an ambassador training/tasting at the offices of Cinoco, where Jeroen had the chance to record this episode as well.
