About Cary Ann Fuller

Cary Ann is an Army Brat with Southern tendencies. Born in Washington State to parents from Florida, she lived many points in between before settling in Nashville, TN (again). Cary Ann developed a passion for brown water early in life, and has translated that into a whiskey-centric life. Lover of all things Tennessee, she created the Taste of Tennessee Festival to promote the state\'s craft brewers and distillers. Straight Up 615 is her platform for writing about, promoting, and educating on the history, culture, process and people of whiskey. Cary Ann is a Certified Specialist of Spirits, an Executive Bourbon Steward, and advocate of spirits education. She believes in helping women to break traditional gender barriers in the spirits industry through visibility in press, mentoring, education, and service.
