Est. for the serious pursuit of a proper dram
The Aficionado Scotch Society (ASS) is an educational whisky tasting society — quarterly tastings, tasting notes worth trusting, live pours from the cask, and a community that argues about peat for fun.
The Society
ASS started as a once-a-quarter get-together in the back of a pub and grew into a proper record of what we drank, where it came from, and whether it was worth the price. Every bottle we open gets logged — region, cask, ABV, and an honest note, no marketing copy.
We're whisky first, always curious. If you want tasting notes you can trust from people who paid for the bottle themselves, you're in the right stable.
The record
Every gathering gets a label. Photos, specs, and the notes we actually wrote that night.
On the pour
Can't make it to the pub? Pull up a stool from wherever you are. Watch on YouTube →
The snug
Talk peat, cask finishes, and whether ice belongs anywhere near a good pour.
This is a demo of the chat area's look and feel — messages stay on your screen only. Wire it to a real-time backend (e.g. a websocket service) to make it live for everyone.
The barrel store
Wear the crest. Drink from the glass. Fund the next bottle.
Get in touch
Ask about tastings, membership, or an order. Leave an email or phone number and we'll get back to you.
Last call
One email a month. Tasting invites, notes from the last pour, and first dibs on merch drops.
