Whiskey Women
Hosted by Janet & Blair · EN
Whiskey Women podcast seeks to liberate shy or tentative wannabe whiskey drinkers by introducing types and brands of whiskey and discussing them in a delightfully absurd, insistently unserious way. If you like to have your whiskey compared to bad relationships or given senior yearbook superlatives, than sit back, pour yourself the namesake, and listen to two friends explore the feminine side of this historically masculine drink.
