Sure, whisky might be one of the most masculine choices at the bar, but this does not mean that it out of bounds for ladies.

The idea that a woman can love whiskey is frowned upon in the society. However, just like wine, whisky is gathering adherents from all other the world and some of them include women. If you are a woman who loves whisky, then this article is for you.

People assume that women who drink whisky play bass guitars and watch Sons of Anarchy during their free time. There are very few whisky advertisements that cater to women and so we assume that those women who take whisky have to have a wild, masculine side. It does not have to be that way.

There is a new crop of women who know their stuff and take the time to learn and appreciate all the flavours bottled in. Women approach the bar differently, and a woman who takes whisky will get a few side eyes. As long as you are enjoying responsibly, like wine, whiskey is a drink that has a lot to offer. If you are a woman who loves whisky, and you are intimidated by the labyrinth of whisky jargon and brands, here is what to start with.

Whisky Cocktails.

The easiest way to enjoy whisky for a beginner is to try it in cocktails. There are amazing cocktails that you can make from this versatile drink. The best thing about cocktails is that they have a low alcohol percentage and they are a sure way of drinking responsibly.

The Macallan 15

This whisky is a premium whiskey that goes through a triple-cask process of maturation. It does not get any better than that. If you are meticulous and you love quality, this is an ideal brand for you. The triple casks are Spanish sherry-seasoned oak, American Sherry seasoned oak and American oak seasoned with bourbon. The triple aging results in a great single malt that has cinnamon and honey flavours.

This is an amazing blended scotch whisky. If you are a lady who is having scotch for the first time, you will want to try something that has delicate flavours. Famous Grouse is a whisky that is made out of maize grain. This ingredient ensures that you experience sweet and buttery flavours on the nose and tongue. The best way to enjoy this whisky is to take it neat though some people enjoy it on the rocks. It is also a great drink to stock and comes in handy when you have friends over.
