Why do women drink whisky

Whiskey encompasses a whole spectrum of varieties and flavors. Even then, there are different sub-categories depending on the recipe and ingredients. When a woman is specific to a particular brand or type, you better believe she knows what she wants and why she wants it. This knowledge can only come from experimenting and experience, you know, the same things scientists are known for.

But keep in mind that successful gamblers who make a living out of counting cards in blackjack are only tipping the house odds roughly one percent in their favor. You know how I know whiskey drinkers are intellectual conversationalists?

Frequent conversations with many smart women over the years. Their drink of choice? I think not. This girl is crazy, reckless and will break your heart. Fast-forward to the bedroom an hour later and her riding on top of me. To my complete surprise yet utter delight, she started to choke me. But it was still awesome and unexpected. Whiskey is an acquired taste. Just like whiskey has a mature, aged flavor, so does a whiskey drinker.

Put it this way: I doubt any true whiskey drinker is going to laugh her ass off after listening to a penis joke, and that's a good thing for anyone seeking mature company. She doesn't just drink whiskey because it's going to get her drunk faster or because she has anything she's trying to prove.

She genuinely appreciates alcohol in general, and the prominence and class of whiskey have sparked her interest. Sure, she could throw back shots of cheap vodka, but simply getting pissy drunk is far from her only motive. She sips slow. Is she a people person? Regardless, she definitely doesn't let anyone walk all over her.

At the first sign of disrespect, she's ready to let everyone know -- even if she might get a bit too aggressive and end up regretting it in the morning. She's very in touch with her emotions — thanks in part to whiskey — especially after she has one too many whiskey shooters and lets you know how she really feels. Whiskey drinkers appear apathetic to the majority of mankind -- but after you get to know people who love a good tumbler of whiskey and you share a few drinks with them, you'll realize just how passionate they are.

Whiskey drinkers are typically generalized as "badass" and it couldn't have came to fruition without some level of truth to it. W hisky, like cigar smoke and musty leather armchairs, has been linked with masculinity for decades.

But change is afoot. Women are drinking and distilling whisky in ever growing numbers, while men are switching to other poisons.

Changes have also taken place behind the scenes, where distilleries are far more likely to have a female distiller or blender balancing flavours.

Laura Davies, the head distiller at Penderyn distillery in the Brecon Beacons, said that when she first started making whisky nine years ago, it was rare to see a woman at the pot still.
