Whisky Knows No Gender...Why Don't Some Men Get That? (Episode 758: March 10, 2019)

Women are making whiskies, running whisky companies, and teaching
people how to enjoy whiskies all over the world. So...why do many
men still treat women as second-class citizens at whisky
tastings, bars, and whenever the topic of whisky knowledge comes
up? Los Angeles-based freelance brand ambassador Kat Aagesen
called out those men for their bad behavior in a column this week
for The Whiskey Wash, and her complaints were echoed on social
media by women throughout the whisky industry. She'll join us on
WhiskyCast In-Depth to explain why "mansplaining" just makes men
look foolish - and more importantly - why those men are missing
out on a chance to learn something. In the news,
investigators are looking for the cause of Barton 1792
Distillery's second accident in a year after a storage tank
collapsed and spilled an estimated 120,000 gallons of fermented
mash. The Brexit deadline is less than three weeks away, and
Scotch Whisky distillers are getting more antsy as the days tick
off until March 29. We'll also hear from Suntory Holdings CEO
Takeshi Niinami on how much longer the shortages of Japanese
whiskies could last, along with a unique collaboration between
his whisky makers in Japan and Kentucky.
