Some, Er, Love’em: Whiskies in Warm Weather

Some, Er, Love’em: Whiskies in Warm Weather

For many people, there is a season or occasion for certain drinks. Mint juleps for the Kentucky Derby. Champagne at weddings. Wine by the glass at a fancy dinner…or by the box, alone in your apartment after a bad breakup. For a lot of folks, whisky is often a drink they associate with the cooler months of the year. We get it. One of the great things about exploring any kind of food or beverage is the associations you make when you think about them. Dare to explore whisky in the warmer months of the year and invoke new memories.

Tastings at Ace Spirits

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.
