Event Details

Join Women of Vine & Spirits for our second “Women to Watch” webinar in collaboration with Strategic Alliance Partner WSET, featuring Maggie Campbell

Thursday, November 29
1:00 AM PST/ 4:00 PM EST

Have you ever looked at a successful woman working in the
alcohol beverage industry and wondered
“How did they get there?”

Our “Women to Watch” webinars will bring these role models to your screens where you will get the opportunity to hear from their experiences navigating their career paths, the insights they have gained, best practices they can share, and how they used their WSET qualifications to their advantage.

Role models and mentors are extremely important as we navigate our own career paths and it is a cornerstone of Women of the Vine & Spirits to provide access to these role models! By learning from one another and sharing of best practices and advice, we can all thrive!

Maggie Campbell, who holds her WSET Diploma, is Head Distiller and President at Privateer Rum and founded the Denver Brewer’s League.

Maggie is President and Head Distiller at Privateer Rum. She is also a current Masters of Wine Student, was the founder of the Denver Brewer’s League, and is serving her second elected term on the Board of Directors of the American Craft Spirit Association and chairs their Spirits Judging Committee and is currently serving as their elected Vice-President. She also serves on the Wine and Spirits Education Trust's International Advisory Alumni Board, representing the USA. Maggie holds her DipWSET. She first became interested in learning distilling in 2004 on a trip to Scotland and has since received her Diploma in Craft Distilling Technologies from the Siebel Institute, her Level IV Diploma from the Wine and Spirits Education Trust, and won the Denver Brewsters Women’s brewing competition. She previously worked as assistant distiller at Germain-Robin. Her advice, ”Read all the books you can and knock on every distillery door you can get to. Having mentors with different philosophies gives you a whole world of tools to pull from.

Under her guidance every flagship spirit from Privateer has received a 4-star rating from Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal except their revival-inspired Queen's Share rum which has received the highest rating of 5-stars. In his review Pacult stated, "...flavor and quality heights rarely seen in domestic rums and only a handful of Caribbean region rums as it all comes down to perfect balance between alcohol, acidity, wood usage, and flawless distillation... Superstar master distiller Maggie Campbell now has established a new standard..."

In his indispensable And a Bottle of Rum, Wayne Curtis says, “In just a few years, Privateer has managed to produce some outstanding rums that will measure up against ones produced in distilleries with a century or more of experience. Privateer’s Queen Share, as of this writing, is my favorite rum - the best I’ve come across in tasting many over more than a decade.”
