This Blog’s NEAT
A blog for the whiskey-curious.
“Whiskey is a man’s drink.”
It’s true, women are outnumbered in the whiskey industry, although our representative numbers have increased over time to almost a third. Get it ladies! Regardless of whether or not you believe whiskey is a man’s drink, science will prove this deep-rooted stereotype wrong. There are standardized tests used to quantify a person’s smelling abilities, namely olfactory threshold, identification and discrimination. The results of a meta-analysis conducted in 2019 indicated that women generally outperform men in every aspect of olfaction analyzed. Meaning, our senses are superior for nosing and tasting whiskey. Maybe this is why men try so hard to exclude us from “their club”.
