In this episode of Drink Like Sailor, I am joined by guest Sydney Jones, lead distillery technician at the newly constructed Heaven Hill Springs Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky.
I make and enjoy a damn good Manhattan while discussing the historic role of women in distilling. Together, we highlight how the concept of the at-home drinking space and the role of the at-home bartender emerged because of women being largely excluded from drinking in most public spaces.
It’s interesting to consider how the idea of creating home bars gained popularity because bars and public spaces often excluded women. We explore this topic inspired by the book The Cocktail Parlor, How Women Brough the Cocktail Home, by Nicole Nice.
Sydney also shares her three most impactful hard rock albums of all time. Give it a listen and hit that subscribe button on your favorite podcast app.
