Why Scotchology?
Because Scotch of the Month Club was already taken, even if it hasn’t seen new content since 2010. And because Scotchology has a nice ring to it. In the summer of 2013, four friends realized what we could not do well alone, we could do better together: enjoy good whisky. Scotchology is not just about the whisky, but about the experience. Ordering a dram at some bar is vastly different than sharing it in good company. Even if that company changes over the years.
