Nancy “The Nose” Fraley, the master blender who blends Austin, Texas-based Still Austin Whiskey Co.’s award-winning spirits, won the 2024 Women of Whiskey Master Blender of the Year. The WOW (Women of Whiskey) Awards are presented in collaboration with the Bourbon Women Foundation, and recognize exceptional women leaders who have made indelible marks in the whiskey industry.
“I am honored to have been named Master Blender of the Year from Bourbon Women’s Women of Whiskey Awards,” says Fraley. “In an industry with a predominantly male presence, I hope this recognition encourages more women to pursue their passion for whiskey and to bring their unique perspectives to the craft.”
