Tales of the Cocktail® New Orleans 2016

Carin Luna-Ostaseski

SIA Scotch Whisky
Founder and CEO
San Francisco, CA, USA

My passion is Scotch Whisky. I love introducing friends and strangers to this delicious spirit. I love that it's a sit-down and have a conversation kind of a drink, reminds us to go slow and enjoy the time. I created SIA Scotch Whisky as a way to introduce my friends to an approachable, accessible and affordable whisky. I hope you enjoy SIA, an award-winning blend of Speyside, Highland and Islay Whiskies, with flavors of vanilla, caramel, citrus and a hint of smoke on the finish.

I'm excited to share the story of how SIA was successfully crowdfunded on Kickstarter a few years ago and how you can do the same with your bar/beverage business idea. Please reach out and say hello - info@siascotch.com
