Whiskey Women

Halloween is here again, which means costumes and candy for the Whiskey Women! Join Janet and Blair as they sample an array of bourbon and alcohol flavored treats -- and enter for your chance to win some treats to try yourself!

Hipsters get blamed for a lot -- skinny jeans, ironic t-shirts, and obscure indie bands -- but bringing the Old Fashioned cocktail back into style is something they (we) can be proud of. Still, there are a lot of options when it comes to which bitter to choose when making an Old Fashioned, and the Whiskey Women learned the best and worst options out there, comparing them to the best and worst of the hipster world. Get excited -- but only ironically.

In this new segment called "Whiskey Witches and Wizards", the Whiskey Women interview professionals in the bar, spirits, and/or cocktail world who elevate their work above the realm of mere mortals and into something... magical.

Our first featured Whiskey Wizard is Michael J. Neff, who brought his twenty year experience behind the bar to Houston's own the Cottonmouth Club. Listen in to learn the artistry and intent that goes into making each drink a curated experience for the patron.

Forget flights of whiskies -- these whiskies take flight! Janet and Blair sample Eagle Rare, Red Breast, and Old Crow whiskies to see how they stand up to their aviary namesakes.

Welcome back to Whiskey Women!

We're ridin' into a new season by literally taking the show on the road this time, to our Texas urban neighbor, Austin. Join Janet and Blair as they walk around Austin's legendary sixth street and off-road to find whiskey in a summerland of Tequila.

The whiskey women tried to compare bonded whiskies to James Bond actors...only to realize they don't really like James Bond. Appropriately, since they were tasting these at Poison Girl, they decided instead to come up with some (slightly more human) names for the women character in James -- or, actually -- JANE Bond's story. Next stop: Hollywood.

After inheriting a fully stocked bar from a family member who is moving away (Thanks, Rick!), Janet and Blair sample some of his collection and discuss the stables of a basic home bar when hosting guests. So what guests are each of the brands? This is one party where everyone wins.

It's 2019 and some listeners are opting to take a break from the booze for an annual Dry-uary. The Whiskey Women offer some delicious mocktail options for those who still want to sip something to bring in the new year.

Join the Whiskey Women in celebrating Blair's "Blairmas" birthday and the final episode of 2018 by drinking a whiskey that is as old as they are (and two tasty fifteen years that add up)!

Houston, Texas, may not have much of a real winter, but these hot whiskey drinks are worth sampling no matter how sunny December stays. Listen in as Janet and Blair get into the would-be chilly caroling spirit with a Classic Hot Toddy (no tea!), a Seaside Hot Toddy (tea included), and Hot Buttered Whiskey.
