Winter Seminar Series: Scotch Whisky

We are in the midst of a whisky boom, and nowhere is that more evident than the world of Scotch. It has elevated itself from the drink of choice for Scottish poets and landowners to worldwide love and appreciation, powered by master distillers who appreciate the high levels of flavor and craftsmanship their whiskies can achieve. The name “Scotch” signifies both a style of whisky and a unique country. It is a wild, untamed landscape, a geography of lochs and rolling hills and remote islands, and its whiskies share its innate discursiveness. Scotch whisky possesses the aromas of the land—wet seaweed, oyster shells and ocean brine, the perfume of heather and the oiliness of bog myrtle, smokehouses and bonfires on the beach. While there are measurable, chemical reasons for these flavors, there are also cultural ones. Only by trying to understand each whisky’s DNA can you unpack the myriad of flavors contained therein. So, join us on Saturday, December 15^th, as we journey into the world of Scotch whisky, and discover the rich, complex taste of one of the most dynamic spirits in the world today.
