Heather Greene knows whiskey. Her biography is impressive, from writing Whiskey Distilled, a book about whiskey, to teaching classes at the Flatiron in NYC.
In this post, she writes about the challenge of being asked about being a woman in the whiskey industry.
I wrote a book about whiskey. So by the tenth woman-and-whiskey-themed interview, I began feeling ornery:Fed up with constantly being asked about her gender, she categorizes the men drinking whiskey and how they react to women drinking whiskey. The "Non-Believer" is my favorite because it's closest to my experience:
"What's it like to be a woman in whiskey?"How the hell would I know otherwise.
No one has yet to ask me about men and whiskey, a topic that might be just as interesting.
"Do you really drink that stuff?" the Non-Believer asks women who drink whiskey at the bar. Remind them of the other things women do, like put down-payments on entire buildings and vote.Visit us at The Drinking Press, and find your whiskey persona.
Serving the Best in Culture, History, and Libations.
Cheers, Bec
