MEET THE COMMITTEE

PRESIDENT

Dougal Clumpas

While I was originally born in Scotland, I actually grew up in New Zealand (which explains the accent). I eventually came crawling back to the motherland though, the allure of the liquid gold was simply too strong.

​

I'm currently in my third year of my Chemistry undergrad, but copper pot stills remain my favourite distillation method.

​

I am known to try and sneak New Zealand whiskies into tastings, but other than that you will usually catch me drinking something heavily peated and cask strength.

​

Outside of whisky I enjoy playing and listening to weird genres of music, and cooking over-elaborate meals.

VICE PRESIDENT

Tanya Lubicz-Nawrocka

I'm originally from Boston and, since moving to the UK ten years ago, I have found that there is so much to learn about the world of whisky.

I would have to say that Ichiro's Malt Double Distilleries has been an all-time favourite, with Chichibu and Hanyu casks. I really enjoyed visiting Chichibu distillery in Japan last year (the photo is of me there!), and I have learnt so much from visiting many Scottish distilleries with the fantastic WoLS community.

Besides learning about whisky, I have also recently completed a PhD in education.
