Hannah Hanley has over 15 years of experience in the hospitality and spirits industry. Hannah was instrumental in the growth and success of Heritage Distilling Company, the largest independently owned craft distillery in the PNW for almost 10 years before stepping into her current position with the International Wine & Spirits Competition.

She was the brains behind BSB-Brown Sugar Bourbon (now primarily owned by Jamie Foxx) and Florescence Vodka (owned by Danielle Kartes of Rustic Joyful Food) among many other products. She’s a true details girl who can make visions come to life.
