Alberta Straub, an acclaimed San Francisco bartender who hosts the video podcast Cocktails on the Fly, says Walsh is "a world whiskey trendsetter" who has opened whiskey to women.
"The world of Scotch is intimidating," Straub says. "It's like an old
boys' club where women aren't allowed. Just to order Scotch, just to
pronounce it, can be daunting. Riannon trashes that whole idea."
