We're proud and delighted to announce that our distiller, Siobhan Feeley, has been shortlisted for IWSC Emerging Talent in Spirits 2025.
Siobhan joined 58 and CO in 2023. She started her career working behind the bar at a London pub that boasted the UK's largest gin collection. There, she learned as much as she could about gin and spirits, before heading to Sacred Spirits to learn all about distilling. In her own words:
"I began my life in the industry like many others - young, timid, and looking for a chance to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I had always desired to be arty and creative but always felt I had lacked any talent in “art” and that I was too ‘logical’. It was with the discovery of the world of spirits that I finally found my outlet – the perfect balance of science and art, history, and love."
Working alongside our Head Distiller, Ben Weetman, Siobhan helps to produce everything we make at 58 and CO. She also runs Gin Tasting, Gin School experiences, events and training at the distillery.
In 2024, Siobhan led the development and production of our British Bianco Vermouth - a semi-sweet English-Italian style white vermouth which went on to become one of our biggest sellers. It was recognised by Spirits Business as one of the most innovative spirits launches of 2024.
The IWSC Emerging Talent in Spirits champions individuals who are making an impact in wine and spirits; whether through innovation, leadership, education, or entrepreneurial flair.
