You know who she is. Whether it’s your favorite TV show (Twin Peaks, The Sopranos, CSI: Miami, The Walking Dead, and Orange is the New Black), movies (Dune, Mr. Holland’s Opus, Vanilla Sky, The Upside of Anger, Cowgirls ‘n Angels, and The Bronx Bull), her music (Alicia Witt, Revisionary History, 15,000 Days, and The Conduit), or her new book (Small Changes: A Rules Free Guide to Add More Plant--Based Foods, Peace & Power to Your Life)… you’ve likely experienced some facet of her work. Recently, she has been on tour supporting her new album “The Conduit” and talking about her new book “Small Changes”.
​
Though she has never been formally trained as an actor, she has used her innate abilities and then honed her craft with some of the best in the business. With the piano, she has always been considered a prodigy and an artist with formidable skill and talent. In speaking to her, she is mindful and fully present in the moment and wields a powerful sense of momentum. There will be more great things to come from her on all fronts, that is for certain.
​
Whether it’s a glass of bourbon by her side at her music performances or enjoying an evening with scotch and her friends by a fire pit… there is no doubt that she’s a whiskey enthusiast.

Making a Movie, Making Friends, and Discovering Whiskey
​
Everyone starts their whiskey journey in their own unique way. However, there are two things that are universal about it; whiskey is a social drink, and it’s a lovely conduit to great stories. Alicia’s story is a great example of both in action. Filming a movie on location is an exciting opportunity to explore and experience new things. Where the story goes from good to great is that it was also the beginning of her whiskey journey. It’s very hard to beat taking your first steps into whiskey in a bar that has a whiskey collection so large that it has a catalog to help you chose. Of course, there needs to be a heartfelt toast to her guide who introduced her to this magic elixir.
​
She demonstrates confidence in knowing her own tastes. While she gravitates towards things that please her palate, she is open to experiencing knew things. In talking to her about her whiskey, it’s very clear that she is looking over the edge into the great vortex that is whiskey geekdom. She’s fascinated by process and vividly recalls the sensory experiences of being in a distillery.
​
There will be a tipping point, and speaking to the Whiskey Network may well be what helps her move along the path of her journey.
​
Mark Pruett - What is your earliest memory of whiskey?
​
Alicia Witt - I have a beautiful story for that. I was working on a movie in South Africa in Cape Town. It was a medieval epic that was called Ring of the Nibelungs in most countries and had different names in various other places. It was my first night there and I was staying at the Cape Grace Hotel. It has an extraordinary whisky library, and they bring out an encyclopedia that lists everything they have.
​
Sam West, a fellow actor and now a dear friend, was playing my brother in the film and he is a scotch and whisky aficionado. We had just met that day and I told him I had never tasted fine whiskies. That was all he needed to give me a lesson in whisky. I wasn't very familiar with whisky at the time, so I do not remember exactly what we tasted, but it was aged scotches, for sure.
​
It was likely a mix of Glenfiddich, Macallan, and probably Laphroaig… peated and aged sipping scotches. The movie took three months to film, and we went back to the Cape Grace Hotel many, many times over the course of that time and sampled lots of incredible whiskies. He was the one that taught me all about it and instilled that love of it in me.
​
MP – Laphroaig is a polarizing brand.
​
AW - Is it?
​
MP – Yes, because of the taste profile. People often experience peated whisky as having the characteristics of “iodine and band-aids” or refer to it as being “swampy”. It’s interesting to me that your introduction was across a wide spectrum of flavor profiles.
​
I'm curious, after that experience what are the tastes that you now gravitate towards?
​
AW - The Balvenie is a favorite. I enjoy the 21--Year--Old Port Wood and the 14--Year--Old Caribbean Cask. Also, there is a 15--Year--Old Single Barrel Sherry Cask that is delightful. I just had some of that in Santa Barbara a few weeks ago. I've never smoked a cigar, but smoke on the nose with the sweetness of the Port, Sherry, or Rum finish is my favorite. Also, I appreciate the peated whisky that is swampier, as you said. I wouldn't say that Laphroaig would be my first choice, but I can appreciate it.
​
MP - Circumstances matter, for choices in whisky.
​
AW – Yes, circumstances do matter.
​
MP - If you're sitting on the patio in the afternoon, maybe a Laphroaig isn't the right choice. For Laphroaig, it needs to be a cold evening by the fire. Also, it’s likely more of a solitary whiskey experience. On the other hand, Glenfiddich would be a great choice for a more social experience.
​
Going back, the Balvenie has an incredible profile of whisky and they put out a quality product. It’s hard to go wrong with any of their expressions. Are your tastes still evolving or have you found your wheelhouse? Are you open to new experiences and trying something a little different?
​
AW – For me, it’s a mixture of both. I love trying new experiences, but I am confident in my preferences. For example, I'm not big into champagne. I have been able to try some incredible champagne, and I’m happy to enjoy a sip if I’m celebrating with someone. However, I wouldn’t suggest that someone bring me a nice bottle of champagne as a gift. I would much prefer a nice bottle of Scotch or bourbon.
​
MP – On that note, if we were to look in your liquor cabinet, what brands would we see?
​
AW - Definitely the Balvenie. Belle Meade bourbon is also something I enjoy. Also, I just picked up some Davidsons Reserve Rye. I haven’t tried it yet, but I am curious about it. I love Woodford Reserve for making an Old Fashioned; it's just fantastic. It tastes nice, and I enjoy it on its own, too. That reminds me of one my favorite things this time of year (the holidays) is this vegan eggnog I really like. It’s called So Delicious Dairy Free Coconut Milk Holiday Nog. It's ridiculously good. I love adding some Woodford Reserve to it, shaking it up with some ice, pouring it out into a martini glass, and sprinkling some fresh nutmeg over it. Such a delicious holiday cocktail for this time of year.
​
One of my favorite things is Angel’s Envy Rye. It makes an incredible Old Fashioned. It's ridiculously decadent and delicious, but I don't always have it on my shelf because it goes very quickly, especially when I have friends over. It's very top of the line, and it's such a joy introducing it to people for the first time. I don't think there's anything quite like it. I'm friends with Wes Henderson (Co--Founder & Chief Innovation Officer of Angel’s Envy), and I just had the experience of visiting the distillery. It was a joy! He let me taste the mash, obviously it doesn't taste like bourbon yet, but it's interesting to see how all those grains eventually become something so delicious.
​
MP – Those are all fantastic selections. Most importantly, I think we need to get that recipe from you and print that in the magazine.
​
Recalling your distillery tour, the process to make whiskey can hit all your senses. Which of your senses does it appeal to the most?
AW – [laughs] I’ll send you the recipe. The smell is what I admired the most. From the moment you first walk in all the way through the gift store, the smell hits you. Also, it's just amazing to see the huge silos filled with grain and then see the process in action. All the pipes, the room where it is bottled and labelled with care. I don't think I'll ever think of it in quite the same way again.
​
MP - Once you understand the craftsmanship that goes into it, you begin to understand how there can be unique variations into the batches. It sets off a very different appreciation of the finished product.
There is a current trend of artists who are partnering with distilleries and releasing co--branded products. Will we ever see a branded bottle by Angel’s Envy in partnership with you?
​
AW - I haven't thought about that. If I ever were to partner with a distiller, I would want it to be right. Angel’s Envy is consistently my favorite, so who knows.
​
MP – There could be potential there! What do you gravitate towards in rye whiskey?
​
AW - There's something about, I just find it to be very smooth. To me, a good rye has that added honeyed consistency and that feels extra nice on my throat when I’m singing.
​
MP – Based on your travels, would you be willing to share any other stories that involve whiskey?
​
AW – It's fun to remember that it was on that movie when I first discovered whiskey through my friend Sam. It was one of the elements that brought our friendship together. Whiskey has a social aspect: it’s the pleasant buzz that you get and the mental stimulation from the conversation.
​
I recall another story that I can share. Frankie Faison, another great friend, and I were on our second set together in the same year. We were craving a good Scotch, but we didn't know that all the liquor stores closed early in Oklahoma. Luckily, we found a bar that had the Scotch we craved, but it was it was outdoor seating where everybody was smoking, and it was just not the environment we wanted.
​
We were determined to have that Scotch and sit by the fireplace at the hotel. We came up with a plan. Our welcome bags for the production came with a thermos and we got those. Then, we found seats outside and took turns going up to the bar. We kept ordering double shots of Glenfiddich straight up, acting like we were bringing them out to our friends at our table. The shots would get dumped into the thermos and we would go back.
​
After we did this a couple of times, we had all the Scotch we could want. Obviously ridiculously overpriced, but we had per diem, and it was what we wanted. To us, it was worth it. Since it was a beautiful evening out, some of the crew joined us after their work was done for the day.
​
As I wrote in my book, we could have easily picked up something from the grocery story. All that was available were bottles of hard cider or wine in a box. It wasn’t even close to what we wanted, so we made it work for us.
​
MP – That is the beauty of whiskey. It can be a social event. You had easy choices, but you made the extra effort for Scotch. That is such a great story.
​
AW - Thank you.

Bold, Effortless, and Meaningful: Doing What She Was Meant to Do
Alicia Witt makes it look easy. Seriously… she makes it all look effortless. Before you take that the wrong way, let’s dive deeper into that. Make no mistake, she puts a lot of work into everything she does. Her career thrives at the intersection of talent, opportunity, and determination. From her very first appearance on television to her new music and book, there is a deliberate momentum in her life.
​
Her acting career has spanned over two decades and demonstrates incredible versatility across the characters she has portrayed. The list of people that she has worked with in the business affirms her assertion that she’s been a part of the best masterclass for her craft.
​
In music, she’s grown her style across four albums. The centerpiece is her talent on the piano, by all rights she is a prodigy. However, her ability to write songs is not to be overlooked. Her lyrics are heartfelt, and she sings with emotion. In addition, her live performances bring her music to life through stories and her ability to convey those emotions in her delivery. Of course, we can’t overlook that she’s always not far from a glass of whiskey near the piano in her performances. It’s not a stretch to conclude that making music is a true passion for her. Her latest album “The Conduit” is a huge step forward in her music.
​
Finally, she emerges as an author in her new book “Small Changes”. Her tone and the content are practical. This isn’t someone who is disengaged from the content; she practices what she preaches. It’s refreshing and sensible. She harnesses the power of telling her own stories to reinforce what is in the book.
​
She is an amazing force of artistic expression, well--being, and the sheer joy of existence.
​
MP – I’d like to talk about the incredible career that you have had across movies, television, the stage, music, and now you are an author. Can you talk about how your career started?
​
AW - It was such an unusual beginning. I ended up on a variety show called “That’s Incredible” when I was five because my mom taught me how to recite Shakespeare. Two years after that, the phone rang in our home in Worcester, MA and it was the casting director for “Dune” (from 1984 by David Lynch). They were searching for a young child to play the role of Alia Atreides and having a very hard time because she’s supposed to be 4 but born with the knowledge and vocabulary of generations of Reverend Mothers before her. They called “That’s Incredible” to see if they had any ideas of a child with unusual abilities and who might be able to handle this.
​
I was flown to New York to audition, and I got the part. It changed my life. At seven, acting was not something I ever considered as something to do for the rest of my life. I remember setting foot on that set for the first time and thinking I would like to do this for the rest of my life.
​
MP - David Lynch has been very complimentary to you throughout your career. He has spoken very highly of you and your abilities. The incredible thing is that it’s very natural to you. You've never been classically trained. It's just been you honing your craft and relying on your natural abilities. Is that correct?
​
AW - Yes, I've never studied acting. However, I've had the most incredible master classes in it. From these extraordinary actors that I've had the privilege to work with, and directors (such as David) who have taught me how to conduct yourself on set. I’ve also learned what a good Director should be, and I aspire towards being one in the future.
​
MP - We can't wait to hear more news about that.
​
I’d like to go through a quick highlight reel of your career so far. Obviously, you started in “Dune”, and you were also in these movies (select highlights): “Mr. Holland’s Opus”, “Vanilla Sky”, “The Upside of Anger”, “Cowgirls ‘n Angels”, and “The Bronx Bull”.
​
For television you have appeared in (select highlights): “Twin Peaks”, “The Sopranos”, “CSI: Miami”, “The Walking Dead”, and “Orange is the New Black”. You've also been starred in Hallmark Channel and Lifetime movies.
​
As you said, an absolute master class in so many different productions and working with so many incredible people.
​
Now jumping into music. I went ahead and listened to your catalog, and I see this incredible evolution that brings us to your latest record “The Conduit”.
​
Your self--titled release is piano driven and is made up of some emotional but hopeful themes. It has to be said that your piano skills are superb. The second record is “Revisionary History” -- you show that you are growing and changing. In 2016, “15,000 Days” comes out and there is this transformation in your style. Songs like “Young”, “Earful”, and "Satellite” are all soulful. You're not only expressing breadth as a singer and songwriter, but there is now a tremendous depth.
​
Finally, in 2021, we have "The Conduit", which is the new album. It’s everything coming together in a great record. There is some well--deserved recognition in that the song “Chasing Shadows” spent 5 weeks on the charts and peaked at number 26.
Can you tell me more about the song?
​
AW – I wrote after a particularly inspiring night out on the town with someone who was in another group. We were both working on productions, and I felt this magical connection. I was longing to just get somewhere quiet and have a real conversation and not be in this huge group of people who were all there to have a glamorous night.
​
Honestly, I really like this song, but forgot about it. It wasn't until I was getting ready to record “The Conduit” and playing contenders to the co--producer, Bill Reynolds. He stopped what he was doing when I started playing that one and said he wanted to record it. Actually, that was just a few days before the pandemic locked everything down. Then, I realized, the song could be about much more than what I originally wrote it about.
​
MP - The video tells that story and goes very well with the song. I understand that you were inspired by some of the classic singer songwriters like Elton John, Billy Joel, Carole King, Paul Simon, and Barry Manilow for the record. When I listen to a song like “Someday”, I hear the influence of Dan Fogelberg. As I was listening to the rest of the record, I couldn’t help but feel like it’s about catharsis or release. You've just brought it onto a completely different level.
​
Where does your music come from?
​
AW - It usually starts with an idea, and they come frequently. What I try to do is jot them down or sing a little snippet into my voice memos. If I don't do that in the moment, it's often lost. A lot of these little fragment ideas that come to me do end up becoming full songs.
​
As you were saying such lovely things about the record, thank you for that, I was thinking simultaneously of so many other little ideas that haven't been completed yet and may end up on my next record. I was telling a friend of mine yesterday about a song I wrote with John Paul White a few years ago and she wanted to hear it. So, I went back in my voice memos to find the recording of when we wrote it that day. I really like that one too. It's super wistful. I just didn't feel like it fit on “The Conduit” with its theme about the idea that we are all conduits taking people where they are meant to be. Also, finding this great sense of peace, acceptance, and celebration… even in the most complicated relationships.
​
There is no shortage of ideas with me. When I focus on music, the ideas started flowing. The only trick is figuring out what to do with all the others that I haven't recorded. I’d love for other people to record them at some point.
​
MP - There are some folks who can be in social situations and find a great song in the moment. Like you say, you need to get it into your voice memos to work on later, or it’s gone. Other time, you are just sitting there and get hit by some sort of divine inspiration and can write a song in in three minutes.
​
AW - Every now and then, I've had periods where I decided to try and schedule myself two sessions a day for a couple of weeks and write with professional writers. That's super fun as well. It's a different kind of challenge, but a lot of the time when I go to sessions like that, I'm feeding off the ideas that I already have. I find that some ideas are ready to write themselves and others I must noodle around a bit and think what the song is meant to be.
​
Other times, I think I'm not going to find the ideal version of it on my own and I need to bring the idea to a different mind. Sometimes co--writing is what a song deserves. I've had both of those experiences, and it's just all every which way.
​
MP - That's an incredible talent. The new record is truly a wonderful piece of art.
​
We touched on this earlier, and I wanted to come back to it. By all accounts, you are a prodigy on the piano. How did that start?
​
AW - The piano just started from my mom having a sense that I would enjoy taking piano lessons and that I would be good. There was no particular reason, as I understand it. She just had a feeling and I started taking piano lessons. And she was right; I loved it from my first lesson. I never felt like it was a chore to practice.
​
Competing was an easy next step because I was advancing so quickly. My teacher at the time suggested that I compete in a local statewide competition, and I won first prize. So that was super fun for me and just inspired me to keep on going. I continued competing and it became something I put a lot of focus on.
​
Despite teachers and people at competitions thinking I was going to pursue being a concert pianist for a career, I always knew that wasn't in the cards. It wasn't my hearts calling. Writing my own songs was always in my heart even though I wasn't quite doing it. I remember writing a couple of tunes on the piano as a teenager, but it wasn't something I focused my energy on.
​
MP - Well, you've had an incredible career in music as well as movies and television. I think the Universe is steering you right.
​
AW - Thank you.
​
MP – Your recent tour dates coincided with a book tour. I wanted to make sure we talk about this book. It’s called “Small Changes: A Rules Free Guide to Add More Plant--Based Foods, Peace & Power to Your Life”, and it’s out now. I read it and I love it. It’s practical and not about making drastic life changes. The book is a “no rules” approach to making very small life changes that add up to positive momentum. In my mind, I compare it to yoga. When you start out, it may be hard to get into the positions, but then you begin to settle in and cultivate the flexibility and peace that comes with it.
​
In the beginning of the book, you call yourself “the accidental guru”. Talk to me about how this book came together and why you call yourself that.
​
AW - It was a series of small changes in my own life that led to me now being over 99% plant based. I feel that for my own body, that’s the best way to eat. I found myself having all these conversations with people (both strangers, friends, and fans) on the topics of food, wellness, exercise, or skin care. About five or six years ago, I started thinking about writing a book about those idea. I truly believe in moderation and small changes rather than drastic overhauls or lectures. We should just be easy on ourselves and try different things.
​
I have been cooking for people and making plant--based foods without specifying that. My guests are mostly carnivorous, and I love introducing them to new ways of eating. It’s great helping them to see that you can include more of those foods in your lifestyle. Also, the same with supplements, meditation, journaling, and simple workout routines that you can do at home. That’s how the idea came to me.
​
After I appeared on the Walking Dead, I was number one on IMDB charts for the only time in my career because so many people were watching the show. Out of the blue, a book agent approached me and asked if I had any ideas for a book… and so it was born.
​
MP - The book does live up to its name. It is a guide to making those small changes. It can be eating habits, how your stock your refrigerator, what supplements you take, how your inner voice speaks to yourself, or how you exercise. It's sensible and positive.
​
One of the other things that I like in the book is the topic of “If you crave that, then eat this…”. It's a great way to retrain your brain about cravings.
​
AW - Thank you. Those small changes that I outlined there have made a huge difference for me and for people that I that I know. I'm very grateful that the book exists, and hopefully it's also a fun read.
​
MP – We’ve covered a lot of ground about your career. If fans want to learn more, how can they find out more about your projects?
​
AW - Thank you for asking. They can go to www.aliciawittmusic.com to sign up for my mailing list. Another great place is my LinkTree, just search for Alicia Witt or visit https://linktr.ee/aliciawitty. If you go to either of those, you’ll find ways to order the book, my CDs, vinyl, and all the other merch. Plus, you can see current tour dates.
​
MP - On that note, do you plan to continue to support the book and the current album in 2022? Or do you have something special in store? Maybe a new record or something else in the works?
​
AW - I always have so many things in the works. Right now, I’m not sure what will happen in 2022. The specifics of everything are completely wide open, and I'm looking forward to slotting those in.
​
My plan is to have a Christmas album out next year. I've got enough original Christmas songs, as well as a few covers that I love, to fill up an album.
​
MP – We will be monitoring your upcoming projects and keep our audience updated.
​
With that, I would like to welcome to the Whisky Network family. You will always have a seat at our table. You are always welcome to come talk to us about your future projects. When you do put out the Christmas album, please come talk to us about that. We’ll talk more whiskey and anything you else you want to discuss.
​
AW – Thank you.
​
​
The Mashbill: Whiskey Network Wants to Know Your Recipe
It is our tradition at the Whiskey Network to ask our guests the same final 5 questions, also known as the Mashbill.
​
MP – With that, I would like to welcome to the Whisky Network family. You will always have a seat at our table. You are always welcome to come talk to us about your projects. When you do put out the Christmas album, please come talk to us about that. We’ll talk more whiskey and anything you else you want to discuss.
​
We have a tradition at the Whiskey Network where we ask our guests the same five questions. I'm always fascinated by the answers. It's not a test. Don't get nervous, just give me the answers that come straight to your mind.
​
Are you ready?
​
AW - I'm ready.
​
MP – Question 1: What was last whiskey, bourbon, or Scotch that was in your glass?
​
AW – I’m on a brief detox right now, so I’m trying to recall.
​
Oh, I remember exactly what it was. My best friend Eliza Ann came over and it was her birthday. We celebrated, with some Guidance Whiskey. It is a distillery that is new, and it was founded by a friend of hers. She tasted it once before, and it was like a truth serum, and we decided that sounded like fun.
​
We were drinking it to see if it would do the truth serum thing and we found that was not the case. However, I did have a weird dream that night about being romantically involved with a platonic friend of mine who I'm not at all interested in. Maybe that was the Guidance Whiskey.
​
I think the one before that was Angel’s Envy Rye, because it was a gorgeous night under the stars. There is nothing like having a little bit of it neat and looking at the stars. There's nothing like it.
​
MP – Question 2: When you drink your whiskey, do you prefer to drink your whiskey from a specific type of glass?
​
AW - I'm partial to these crystal tumblers I have. Honestly, those are my favorite. If you look at a lot of the album art for “The Conduit”, I have that that crystal tumbler with me in a lot of the shots.
​
MP – An excellent choice. I’ve seen those pictures and it’s a nice glass.
​
Question 3: Do you have a Unicorn bottle?
​
AW - Well, it hasn't eluded me because I saw it on the shelf at Cork Dorks the other day… but it’s fiendishly expensive. It’s the Macallan 25--year--old. I had it on Christmas Day at the Hutton Hotel. I met with a friend and was treated to a couple of extraordinary sips of the 25--year Macallan.
​
I also tried the 21--year--old Macallan that night. I am endlessly overjoyed by the varieties and the subtleties of it. It would be so exciting to discover others that are just as exquisite.
​
MP - Very exquisite. There is so much to explore.
​
Question 4: I have a hypothetical question. I am looking for a gift for a friend and my budget is around $50 to $75. What would you recommend I buy?
​
AW - That's a great question. Well, the Oban 14 can usually be found for around $69 to $71, and I would say that. That one feels a bit like a truth serum, and I've had some incredibly cathartic revelations from that one. It's got this smoky flavor and Scotch aficionados love it. It is accessible to those who might not normally drink peated whisky like Laphroaig. It has just enough of that smoky vibe.
​
If they their preference tended more towards a bourbon, I would recommend the Belle Meade. That would make a nice gift.
​
MP – Those are great choices. What I'm hearing is that you are into bourbon, but you really like Scotch.
​
AW - I love them both. I really do.
​
MP - That's fair, but not a lot of people do that. I’ve found that people who start with Scotch find it easier to get into bourbon. People who start with bourbon have a harder time crossing into the Scotch world.
​
AW - And I started with Scotch at the Cape Grace.
​
MP – An incredible beginning! We’re almost done.
​
Question 5: What's your favorite toast?
​
AW - I usually say, “Cheers, big ears” which usually gets a laugh. Especially if somebody thinks their ears are a little larger than normal, but it just makes me laugh.
​
On top of that, I have the “Witt ears”, so I feel like I can say that.
​
MP - I love it. Always good to laugh a little.
​
Thank you for your time, it is appreciated. Once again, welcome to the Whiskey Network family. It’s been a great conversation. You are a very talented whiskey enthusiast.
​
AW – Thank you so much. What a pleasure this has been.
​
Alicia Witt is an amazing talent who is versatile and hard working. Her success continues to grow, but she remains humble and grounded.
​
Her new album “The Conduit” is an expression of catharsis in troubled times. It deftly connects how the people in our lives are conduits to our own release. It all comes together through her dynamic piano skills as she weaves melodies and lyrics together in a unique way.
​
Her new book “Small Changes: A Rules Free Guide to Add More Plant--Based Foods, Peace & Power to Your Life” is an important projection of her own philosophies in life. She provides a simple blueprint to live a healthier and more authentic life.
​
To bring it all together, whiskey is an important context in her life. Like so many other things, she dives deep into Scotch and bourbon without any limitations. Whether it’s enjoying whiskey with friends or spending a quiet evening under the stars by the fire… she knows what she likes and relishes in every sip.
​
In fact, she’s at an exciting point on her journey… she’s eager to learn more. The process beckons to her and she’s ready to fall into the embrace of whiskey geekdom. The Whiskey Network is proud to welcome her to the family. We look forward to her future projects and her whiskey journey.
