Welcome to the second part of Scotchology’s interview with Andy Morrison from Minglewood Distilling, located in Wooster, OH. Beyond further thoughts from one of our members, Kate, we also hear Andy speak about the struggles of a craft distiller and the magic he finds in whiskey.
Whisky Wisdom continues the exploration of unique people in the whisky world by asking them a few questions, hopefully over a dram of whiskey. Minglewood Distilling Company, located in the heart of Wooster, OH, has a special twist in that it is also the current location of one of our founding members, Kate. The following is from lightly edited correspondence with Andy Morrison, co-owner of Minglewood along with his father Mark, bookended with Kate’s own thoughts.
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.
