I was intrigued by the tour guide&#8217;s presentation of how the once-prosperous distillery run by the founder&#8217;s widow fell on hard times during prohibition, but was recently rediscovered and restored by its heirs. I was then inspired to learn more about women in the whiskey business and purchased the book. &#8220;Whiskey Women&#8221; was well researched and informative, covering the origins of distilling spirits through the role of women currently operating major distilleries. It&#8217;s a good read for someone wanting to know more about this specific topic.<br>\n<br><br><br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/12333272-rosa-king\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whiskey Women: The Untold Story of How Women Saved Bourbon, Scotch, and Irish Whiskey by Fred Minnick My rating: 4 of 5 stars The title and cover of this beautifully designed book caught my eye in the gift shop of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/rosadeberryking.com\/BackStory\/book-review-whiskey-women-the-untold-story-of-how-women-saved-bourbon-scotch-and-irish-whiskey\/\">Continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1757,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[152,178,150,31],"tags":[186,211,210],"class_list":["post-1755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-american-history","category-ante-bellum-south","category-book-reviews","category-wineries","tag-american-history","tag-whiskey","tag-women-in-distillery"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rosadeberryking.com\/BackStory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/up75vsZuTd2KdE7Sf42A-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosadeberryking.com\/BackStory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosadeberryking.com\/BackStory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosadeberryking.com\/BackStory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosadeberryking.com\/BackStory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosadeberryking.com\/BackStory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1755"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rosadeberryking.com\/BackStory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1755\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1756,"href":"https:\/\/rosadeberryking.com\/BackStory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1755\/revisions\/1756"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosadeberryking.com\/BackStory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rosadeberryking.com\/BackStory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosadeberryking.com\/BackStory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rosadeberryking.com\/BackStory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
