How’d We Do?
World Whisky Day 2014 was a rousing success for Scotchology this past May. It was the first whisky tasting any of us had planned or hosted. It taught us what teamwork and good planning can accomplish. We’re sorry if you couldn’t make it but encourage you to not miss the day in 2015, either by joining us or celebrating in your own way. To help gauge what people thought, we sent out a short survey to cover the important points. Here’s what the data told us.
Why would you drink fire?
Musings are going to be a new thing here at Scotchology. Sometimes we’ll have thoughts and experiences we’ll want to share that can’t easily be encapsulated into a whisky review. Such posts will give us space to explore in greater depth, even if they appear only a few times a year. The website will still focus primarily on our alcohol assessments, but we’ll also share some morsels like this where we step back and look at the forest for a moment instead of the trees. This initial Musing will address the important question of, well, how do you approach Scotch if you’re completely inexperienced?
World Whisky Day 2014
Because some drinks deserve their own holiday. World Whisky Day was founded in 2012 by Blair Bowman, a Scottish graduate student at the University of Aberdeen and whisky enthusiast. It blew up the internet and the inaugural year had over 200 events in every continent on Earth except Antarctica by over 20,000 people. So we here at Scotchology are holding our own celebratory event: a whiskey tasting! So what are you doing?
