Founders Series: Your Land, My Land, Westland

Founders Series: Your Land, My Land, Westland

The Founders Series takes advantage of Scotchology’s founders meeting to celebrate our 10th Anniversary in August of 2023. Since we can’t meet in person as often as we were able to when the club first started, we decided to make the most of our time together and sampled a truly broad, exciting range of whiskies in some semblance of batching. The first batch features Westland, an American distillery we have gone to early and often. But a handful of reviews doesn’t quite convey how often we have been there individually or in groups, or how many expressions we have tried and bought for our private collections over the years. This series will expand whenever we gather continue focused explorations of brands or concepts. 

Scotchology: Year Eight

Scotchology: Year Eight

Every two years on the anniversary of Scotchology’s beginning, we have given a biennial update to review what we’ve been up to, reflect on what’s come before and muse about what might be coming. We list some social media stats and note how our reviews and other articles are coming. After a few years of consistency, the past two years have seen more change within the group – much like the rest of the world – than we had ever imagined. How does a small, informal social scotch club hold on when the ability to gather safely together is seemingly taken away?

World Whisky Day 2021

World Whisky Day 2021

Scotchology is celebrating World Whisky Day 2021 virtually again. We’re a little later than the official World Whisky Day that happens in mid-May, but we think the wait will be worth it. The theme will be non-oak finished or smoked US whiskies, with proceeds again benefiting a local charity. Read more about it in the post and sign up!
