Scotchology: Year Six

Entering the realm of the absurd, July 2019 marks the sixth anniversary of Scotchology. The past couple of years have seen less drastic changes and even some relative stability. As of this posting, we currently have 123 reviews, comprising 88 scotches and 35 world whiskies. Social media continues to be the way we interact with others in the whisky community that are not in our immediate geographic vicinity. Apparently all the cool kids are doing it nowadays. We’re in a groove, and it feels good.

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.

There have been a few articles over the past several months by whisky bloggers and writers that deal with the subject of whisky evaluation (really, great stuff). Generally, they comment on the state of the review industry – both professional and amateur, however you want to define those terms – and an examination of what they do, usually spurred by a change they are themselves making. Draw your own conclusions about whisky bloggers in general and the choices they make in particular, but it drove home the point that there isn’t necessarily a detailed, transparent place where the aims of Scotchology have been listed out.
