SIA Scotch Whisky

If you think Scotch isn’t for you, Carin Luna-Ostaseski bets she can change your mind!
In 2013, Carin fulfilled a personal dream when she launched her own brand of Scotch – SIA
Scotch Whisky. Produced in Scotland by Douglas McGibbon & Co., Ltd., SIA is a blend of Speyside, Highlands and Islay malts, specifically created to appeal to a contemporary palate.

In 2013, Carin fulfilled a personal dream when she launched her own brand of Scotch – SIA
Scotch Whisky. Produced in Scotland by Douglas McGibbon & Co., Ltd., SIA is a blend of Speyside, Highlands and Islay malts, specifically created to appeal to a contemporary palate.
For Carin, creating something tangible was a real passion, considering most of her 15-year
professional career had been spent in the virtual world, designing websites, mobile applications
and digital products for companies such as ABC News.com, Reuters, Revlon, Bloomingdales and
Sun Microsystems.
Carin was first offered a Scotch when out with friends, but refused it thinking it was “two
strong.” But curiosity won out and when queried about preferred cocktails, wines and favorite
foods, the friend was able to select a dram that delighted her. The Scotch stereotype was
shattered, and Carin realized that there was a brand out there for everyone – particularly those
who don’t know they like Scotch, yet.
The next several years were spent hosting Scotch tastings, learning about what people enjoy
and why. She became an avid student of Scotch and the beverage industry, immersing herself
in the business, spending time with Distillers and a myriad of industry professionals, and
earning her bartending license.
Carin shared her vision for a new refreshingly modern Scotch with Spirit Imports, Inc. and they
agreed with the potential, facilitating her introduction to the team at Douglas McGibbon & Co.,
Ltd., who would ultimately bring her vision to life. She then turned to Kickstarter for funding in
what has become one of the crowd sourcing platform’s most successful liquor launches to date.
In her personal time, Carin dedicates herself to her many passions including her Cessna 172,
and volunteering at a local children's hospital. She is also a member of the USBG.
