Lodestar Whiskey
You’ll both love this spirits brand called Lodestar Whiskey founded by music industry veterans and cousins, Anna Axster & Wendelin von Schroder. They developed a love for whiskey during their tenure in artist management & touring but found that they didn’t feel that many brands spoke to them as female consumers. Further, they found that simply ordering an old-fashioned at the bar as a woman often elicits a reaction – both negative and positive. With this in mind, the two sought to challenge the notion that whiskey is perceived as only a man’s drink and when the pandemic halted the music industry, it felt like the right time for them to pivot to the world of spirits. Buy it for her, enjoy it with her.
