The March/April 2021 issue of Imbibe features an exploration of Scotch whisky and some of the people helping to shape the category, including Tommy Klus, a longtime bartender and current owner of Scotch Lodge in Portland, Oregon. For episode 22, we chat with Klus and Scotch Lodge bar manager Aaron Zieske about introducing drinkers to the wonders of Scotch whisky, what excites them most about the spirit, and their approach to making whisky cocktails.
