A Schedule of Events

​

A Curated Scotch Lineup Selected for Each Tasting

Sessions feature a specially-curated lineup of 6 whiskies from a variety of distilleries. Bottles are procured locally, out-of-state, and even from overseas; often times our bottles are not available in Missouri. Tasting notes are provided, along with note sheets where you can jot down your own comments.

A Fun Theme for Every Session

​Each session has a fun theme that ties the lineup together in some manner. Past themes include...

  • "Island Hop" and "Highland Fling," where we explore  various Scottish whisky-making regions; 

  • "Battle of the Ages," pitting scotches of similar ages against each other;

  • "Cask Finish Night," featuring whiskies that were cask-finished in some sort of exotic barrel;

  • "Drummond's Choice," featuring bottles chosen for their value or noteworthiness;

  • "Names You Never Heard Of," introducing us to less commonly-known single malt brands;

  • "Blend Blast," in which we delve into the world of finely-crafted blended scotches;

  • "Blind Tasting," in which the bottles and labels are hidden and we guess what we're tasting;

  • "World Whisky," an exploration of the many fine whisky products being created around the globe;

  • "Scotch Archaeology," revisiting classic bottles that newer members might not have tasted;

  • "Now That's Interesting..." featuring bottles chosen because of some unusual characteristic;

  • "Japanese Night," where we devoted an entire session to exploring whiskies of Japan.

Don't Know Much About Scotch? No Worries!

It is NOT necessary to be experienced in scotch to enjoy your participation in the club. New members join in every year with varying degrees of scotch expertise, and our early-season sessions are designed to help get everyone up to speed.

 

So don't worry if you're relatively inexperienced, or even a total newbie… you'll be able to easily learn along the way.
