Moriah Hilden, Vice President of Women Who Whiskey Portland Chapter, holds the distinction of being the first American to complete the Whisky Trek in Appenzell, Switzerland.

Moriah's enthusiasm drives her to embark on extensive journeys—be it long drives, flights, or hikes—to savor and immerse herself in the diverse offerings of the spirits world.
