Whisky is whisky, while traditionally not a female drink, there is no reason for women not to try and therefore like (or dislike) it. With more availability and exposure you will find more people drinking it, and that will be true regardless of gender, colour or creed. Along with a broadening of exposure though will also come a broadening of range of personal tastes of the people trying it, and some people really like mixes and cocktails (they must do, there are so fracking many of them) - so we may well end up with far more single malt mixers (something I personally abhor). I really don't think that it will be as a result of more women trying whisky, but of more people in general. So you're on your own there @scribe...

Hardware issues are a pain in the proverbial. Congrats to everyone involved for getting everything up and running again so quickly.

@LeFrog - If you ever get the chance to sample anything from the Lark Distillery, I would recommend it. There is a caveat though - the Lark Distillery do things by the barrel - so every barrel produces a slightly different dram. I've only come across one I actively disliked - the LD72, but there are quite a few that range from pleasant to very good (but not earth shaking). But if you get a chance at a LD39, LD95 or LD 100, buy, buy, buy - they are awesome.

I agree, but only if the whisky in question is a good dram, or the distillery had a good rep. I'll purchase stuff from Rosebank, Brora or Port Ellen any day, but when I picked up my Glen Keith, it was priced according to its stature as a whisky (ie it was cheap). I wouldn't spend more money on it just because the distillery is no longer operating. But when it is truly a great whisky (the flora and fauna bottling of Rosebank is simply awesome), then it just adds another element that other drams simply cannot match.
