Whisky Cities – Minneapolis/St. Paul

For a couple of years now, the folks at World Whisky Day have been featuring different cities across the globe as “Whisky Capitals” in their weekly newsletter. Many of these are not what you might normally expect as hotbeds of whisky. Finally, we decided to submit our own location to them and it was featured in their Whisky Wednesday newsletter from April 2018. Understandably, the editors trimmed for effective length, but below is the full text of how the Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, have become an unexpected must-see for whisky fans. And rest assured, we know there were many places we missed!

Scotchology is celebrating World Whisky Day for the third year in a row by offering a tasting in Saint Paul, MN. We can’t wait to make this a unique and informative event like previous years. To celebrate the global nature of World Whisky Day, we found quality whiskies from all over the world (a task that seems to get more difficult each year). We spend every other month of the year featuring Scotch, so this is an opportune time to try some of the excellent malts being made in countries whose patron is NOT Saint Andrew. Grab a glass and join us!

On the evening of November 6th, three of the founding members of Scotchology went to a Scotch tasting hosted at a local British pub, Merlin’s Rest, in South Minneapolis. Merlin’s happens to be the place we, as Scotchology members, go to try new Scotches and pick which ones to taste for our monthly meetings. What delectables were consumed and what sort of shenanigans were found? More importantly, why weren’t you there too?
