I’ve been a “whiskey woman” as long as I can remember, which is way longer than I want to publicly admit! Whiskey has always been my drink of choice, usually neat or on the rocks. So it’s with plenty of excitement that I announce I’m the new President of Women Who Whiskey’s Chicago Chapter.

Women Who Whiskey is a global women’s whiskey club for amateurs and connoisseurs that started in New York City in 2011. It quickly spread to other cities around the country, eventually reaching global status through London, Geneva, Nairobi, and Toronto. The goal is for whiskey-loving women to find other whiskey-lovers and to remove the stigma that women don’t drink whiskey. (Because of that, not all of the events are exclusive to women.)

I thought I’d take this opportunity to shamelessly promote Women Who Whiskey Chicago. :)

About wWw Chicago Chapter

The Chicago Chapter of Women Who Whiskey started in 2016. When I heard that the first president was no longer with the club, I jumped on board to join my friend and Vice President, Shelley. Our goal is to create a community of whiskey lovers both on and offline. We’ll be throwing whiskey-based events and discussing all things whiskey on social media.

We want to have a wide range of whiskey-related events, from classes on all kinds and regions of whiskey, to pairing and tasting classes, distillery tours, happy hours and more. Plus we’ll have discounts to a lot of the other whiskey events in Chicago. (Check out more Women Who Whiskey events here.)
