Getting Astrolo-Tispy on Astrolo-Whiskey: Casting Whiskey for Zodiac Signs

For the final episode, Janet chats with Leigha Kingsley, co-director and driving force behind the forthcoming documentary The Spirit of Women about overcoming obstacles, manifesting big dreams, and celebrating the past and future achievements of women in the whiskey industry.

Melinda Maddox is the queen of the flavor palate, while Janet is the queen of the dramatic! Listen in as Melinda talks about the new standard of flavored whiskey from Whiskeysmith, and Janet plans some thriftable/DIY-friendly whiskey cocktail costumes.

Shelley Sackier, author of the very funny memoir Make It a Double: From Wretched to Wondrous: Tales of One Woman's Lifelong Discovery of Whiskey, joins Janet for a conversation about learning to love whisky, Scotland, and making peace with your insecurity by letting it ride passenger seat on the journey.

The zodiac just started over with Aries season, but Janet and Blair say farewell to whiskey season. For this season finale, we check in with our listeners and asked: what whiskey would you assign for each zodiac sign? Tune in and learn which of your recommendations made it on air.

St. Patty's day is a holiday very associated with alcohol, which can be difficult for those who choose to live a sober lifestyle. Inspired by Blair's recent week-long break from drinking, the whiskey women sample some alcohol-free spirits in solidarity.

It's a lot of new records here at Whiskey Women Podcast: our interview with Talnua Distillery features three whiskey women, five whiskies sampled, and one amazing cheers! Join us for a conversation with Meagan Miller, Amy Kingman, and Maya Oren to learn all about the company bringing Ireland's potstill traditions to Colorado and the ingenuity that has their bottles flying off the shelves.

You can certainly expect a sweet time when you sit down with the owner of Three Lumps of Sugar, but did you know you'll also be sitting down with a salt expert? (Or that there was such a thing as a salt expert??) Join the whiskey women in conversation with LaShan Arceneaux as they discuss the perils of making a cocktail while traveling, how that problem led to the wonderful solution of LaShan's signature infusions, and how inclusiveness and ingenuity go hand in hand.

It's February 2, 2022 and you know that that means...or maybe you don't because it's not a real holiday, but the Whiskey Women find puns TOO good TO resist and so must try TWO 2-named whiskies: Two Stars Bourbon, and Two Tigers Indian Whisky.

Happy New Year! Janet and Blair bring in 2022 with the episode they had planned to do before COVID shut down their holiday plans: sipping Seven Jars' Ava Gardner Select and watching her film The Killers.

If you haven't heard of Big Nose Kate, prepare for a wild ride and a new favorite whiskey! Janet and Blair chat with Mel Heim about the legend, the woman, the whiskey that is Big Nose Kate.
