Whiskey Women

The Whiskey Women go for the obvious Thanksgiving choice and sample three different kinds of Wild Turkey Whiskey. So which type was the mashed potatoes? Which brought out the nostalgia? Listen in to find out.

It's Halloween in Houston, which means the Whiskey Women are drinking in costume. This year, Janet and Blair celebrate their love of the classic British scifi show Doctor Who by dressing up as the TARDIS and a Dalek, and finding the inner doctor of in each of a sample platter of scotches at a local British pub.

When Blair and Janet found out Reese Witherspoon (aka Elle Woods) has a new book out, titled Whiskey in a Teacup, they thought it was the perfect opportunity to sample some Real Southern Lady cocktails, show their love for everyone's favorite law student ("what, like it's hard?"), and celebrate the feminist force of Hello Sunshine.

Well, you probably shouldn't drink well whiskey neat. You know it, we know it, everyone knows it. But the whiskey women did it anyway. Join Janet and Blair as they sample three common well whiskies straight up and then in mixers to get a sense of how these staples taste solo and in a couple. It's an experiment we did so you don't have to (looking out for your wellness, as it 'twere). Theme music provided by www.bensound.com

Ever sampled whiskey from the other side of the planet? Yeah, neither had the Whiskey Women. Thanks to a local specialty bar, Janet and Blair try some of the finest offerings from Japan and Taiwan. As a result, they discover a whiskey that out-scotches Scotland, another that sings like a popstar, and another that is closely linked to some earlier favorites. Listen in and learn how to branch out. Theme music provided by: Goran Andrić

On a recent trip to New York City, Blair and Janet sampled the whiskey cocktail Manhattans at easy-to-replicate venues for fellow travelers: at a random bar, their hotel bar, a specialty whiskey bar, and, finally, even braving the airport bar. The results taught them important lessons about where and when to ask for a Manhattan, and reminded them of four famous New York Ladies. Theme music provided by: https://www.bensound.com/

After years of claiming to not like scotch, Blair prepares to grit her teeth through not one but a three-time tasting of one of Janet's favorites -- "The" Glenlivet 12, 15, and 18 years. Listen in as Blair discovers her surprise (and Janet's unsurprise) that she not only likes scotch, but has definite romantic feelings for the different eras of The Glenlivet's maturation process.

Thanks to the Brobdingnagian Bards for letting us use their tune "Wild Mountain Thyme"!

Like drinking spiky or smooth sunshine, this second episode is focused on Bourbon, a subject very near and dear to the Whiskey Women's hearts. With the help of expert and appointed "whiskey wizard" Brian the bartender, Janet and Blair sample Buffalo Trace, Pikesville Rye, and Balcones' Baby Blue. They loved this tasting so much, they tried to buy one of the brands immediately after recording (only to discover the liquor store was sold out). Listen in to learn about this snifter-sized serving of joy. Theme music provided by: https://www.bensound.com

In this first episode, "The Usual Suspects," the Whiskey Women take on a whole bunch of J's -- Jack, Jim, Jameson, and Johnnie -- and throw in a Crown for good measure. So which is these most commonly ordered whiskies do they call "busy" and which do they compare to nail polish? Which has to get watered down to go from a lit match in your mouth to a smoking one? Listen and learn what these brands have to say for themselves, while getting introduced to the Whiskey Women's delightfully absurd, insistently unprofessional way of discussing whiskey.
