The internet is littered with educational and entertaining information about everything, and whisk(e)y is no exception. We're too busy tasting single malts to give a complete list of all the wonderful websites out there, but we'll do our best to keep you on the world-wide-whisky trail.
Groups and Events
The L.A. Whisk(e)y Society - We love these guys! We hope that some day they'll come to one of our tastings (or invite us to one of theirs!)
Seaside Highland Games - A fabulous Scottish Festival in Ventura the 2nd weekend of every October; and the best part is that they have a whisky tasting and dinner the Friday night before--Yum! You'll always find at least 3 members of the MMWTS at this event!
Information and Education
The Glenlivet - A lot of great tasting materials and information.
ScotchWhisky.com - All about Scotch whisky (of course.)
Whisky Magazine - Enough information to make your head spin... but a good resource.
Whisky Magazine nosing and tasting course - A full education in nosing and tasting right here online.
Blogs
CaskStrength.net - A hilariously well-written blog about whisky travels, trials and tastings. Subscribe!
Whisky Fun - Another great blog. Great sense of humor and good reviews and descriptions of whisky. An excellent whisky-buying guide.
Where to Buy Whisky and Whisky "Stuff"
Wade's Wines - Great whisky selection (and prices) locally. They also have a newsletter to help you keep abreast of upcoming events.
Wine and Liquor Depot - Reputed to have the best selection and prices in the Los Angeles (and surrounding) area.
Cobhthaigh Celtique - Good prices on whisky-centered barware. They also have a nice page of further whisky links.
