This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di sits down with the incredible woman at the helm of Anther Distillery, Dervilla McGowan. Dervilla left bartending to become a Scientist and like most scientists, she enjoys mucking about with things to see how they work. After working in bars in Australia and London, completing a PhD in Microbiology, becoming a Mum and working as a Microbiologist in the innovation of rapid composting of food waste, she stepped into the world of entrepreneurship. Dervilla left research to make gin, exploring the science of flavour and running Anther Gin in a way that helps to support the craft distilling community. She loves working on gin recipes, distilling, collaborations, and the flavour of Australian native botanicals. She is a fierce advocate and supporter of women and Dervilla’s spirit is most definitely a tilt to her Celtic ancestry.
