Overview
Braving the āall boysā clubhouse of the world of whisky has not been easy, but Shelley Sackier has managed to do just that out of her love for the drink. By turns funny and poignant and filled with vivid insight into this ancient craft,Ā Make it a DoubleĀ will persuade even a teetotaler to want a wee dram.
As a woman whose first sip of whisky created the female doppelganger of a Mr. Yuk sticker, that experience produced a sharp realization that the liquid was foul, poisonous, and needlessly dirtied a previously clean glass. And then she met Scotland.Ā Her curiosity and growing passion lit a fireāigniting a desire to learn more about this craftās rich and vivid history and the need to break out of an old life and to become the mother, partner, and woman she has always sought to be. After completing a course in Scotlandās famed Bruichladdich Distillery, Shelley begins her path of writing aboutāand working withināthe world of whisky.
There has never been a better time for Shelley's inimitable voice to shed light on this intoxicating realm. Women are not only impressively contributing to the burgeoning sales of the spiritāmaking up nearly 40% of the whiskey-drinking population in the United Statesābut they are also growing in number as they enter in to, train within, and lead the industry with their determined creativity and innovation. In the tradition ofĀ Blood, Bones, and Butter,Ā Make it a DoubleĀ establishes Shelley Sackier as a fresh new voice in the lush world of culinaryĀ narrative.
