Whisky Wisdom continues the exploration of interesting people in the whisky world by talking with them to hear what they have to say.

Scotchology is celebrating World Whisky Day for the sixth year in a row by offering a tasting in Minneapolis, MN on May 18. This year we’re focusing on one country: the United States. The hope is to explore craft distilleries from various regions of the lower 48 states. In addition, we’ll be participating in the Drams4Fams initiative where all our proceeds from the event will go directly to local charity People & Pets together, which focuses on providing local food banks with pet food and supplies. Because pets are family too.
