Hello everyone! My name is Bethne and I'm a bartender and liquor specialist in Phoenix, Arizona. Over the past few years, I have had the opportunity to dive deep into the world of spirits education, diving into wine, tequila, sake, beer, and of course whisk(e)y.

For the people who know me, they know I've been trying to raise the funds for the third whiskey certification test for about a year now, but life, family obligations, and those pesky student loans have made saving up a serious challenge. Launching this fund is my last ditch effort to make it to Scotland next April to take the Master of Bourbon test. It's not only a chance to learn from some of the most accomplished whisky specialists in the world, but passing could make me one of the first female masters of bourbon on the planet.

So, let's do this! For those of you who have asked, here's the fund! Thank you all so much!
