The shared memories of Whisky, brought to you by Clémence Viault
I can talk about whisky for hours, especially about the history of blends.
Raised in the chardonnay spirit of Burgundy, France, it was an unexpected plot twist for Clémence to fall under the spell of whisky ten years ago. She was studying in Geneva at the time, and decided to visit Scotland for a change of scenery. When she tried her first dram, it was sip at first sight: she fell in love with the drink, the country, as well as a charming highlander. Shortly after, Clémence relocated permanently and started working in a distillery. After this period of specialising in production, she ventured into research, import and marketing—particularly in Japanese whisky. She recalls her first trip to Japan, when she spent an evening with the friendly host of her Kyoto guest house. Unable to speak each other’s language, they exchanged brilliant sakes from his collection and magnificent whiskies from her suitcase. For Clémence, this epitomises the beauty of her work: enjoying special moments with fellow whisky lovers around the world. Clémence currently lives between Scotland and France. At Catawiki, she taps into her extensive knowledge to guide buyers and sellers through the online world of whisky trading—selecting fantastic bottles for her celebrated auctions.
