Whiskey Women: The Untold Story of How Women Saved Bourbon, Scotch, and Irish Whiskey by Fred Minnick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The title and cover of this beautifully designed book caught my eye in the gift shop of a bourbon distillery we had just toured. I was intrigued by the tour guide’s presentation of how the once-prosperous distillery run by the founder’s widow fell on hard times during prohibition, but was recently rediscovered and restored by its heirs. I was then inspired to learn more about women in the whiskey business and purchased the book. “Whiskey Women” was well researched and informative, covering the origins of distilling spirits through the role of women currently operating major distilleries. It’s a good read for someone wanting to know more about this specific topic.
