Tastings at Ace Spirits

It’s no secret to our close followers and friends that Scotchology has long been a fan of Ace Spirits, a small liquor store on the west side of the Twin Cities. We won’t take the space here to gush about them, suffice it to say they are more than worth a visit if you ever find yourself within the metro area. Not only do the carry the largest whisky selection we’ve seen here in Minnesota, they also use their connections in the industry to have tastings on a fairly regular basis (don’t worry, they also have other spirits, a few wines, and a respectable craft beer pantheon). We had the good fortune to attend two tastings within the same fortnight there, both different and unique.

June 2015 marks the two year anniversary of Scotchology. One day two years ago we were sharing a drink and wondering, wouldn’t it be amazing if there were a Scotch-of-the-month club? What if we each chipped in, say, $20? There were four of us and $80 a month opened up a lot of options. So we met in June 2013 and have been meeting every month since, growing our experience and exuberance for this fine spirit. To celebrate, we thought we’d talk about where things are, what we’ve learned in the past couple years and where we’d like to go from here.
