Becky Paskin

Writing about food and drink followed naturally from that hospitality base. Becky Paskin moved from service into storytelling with the practical fluency of someone who had already worked in the environment she was now covering. At The Spirits Business, she advanced from deputy editor to editor at The Spirits Business, a progression that reflects steady editorial range and a close read of a fast-moving trade. In whisky, Becky Paskin sits where newsroom discipline meets category knowledge.

As editor of Scotch Whisky and founder of OurWhisky, she works with a subject she knows from both the floor and the page. The result is a career shaped by editorial framing and hospitality experience, with whisky held at the center.

She is editor at Scotch Whisky and founder of OurWhisky. Those roles pull in different directions but remain tightly linked. At Scotch Whisky, the remit is editorial and direct, with whisky as the subject. Through OurWhisky, Becky Paskin puts that same category knowledge into a platform of her own. Together, they show a working relationship to whisky that is both professional and personal, without drifting away from the trade.

Her focus is whisky, and she has said, "change only occurs when we're all engaged." That view points to the way Becky Paskin approaches the category: as something shaped by participation, not isolation. The line suggests an editorial instinct that values conversation, shared responsibility, and movement within the industry, grounded in the work of covering whisky while staying alert to the wider trade around it.
