The local group, Capital Scotch and Whiskey (CSAW) first started meeting in the summer of 2014. A small group donated a scotch tasting to a local Rotary Club and, after the tasting, they wanted to meet again--regularly. Since then, CSAW has grown to over 260 members and have had monthly meetings spanning most of the topics offered in this certificate. In the summer of 2015, the informal CSAW group formed a non-profit, The Whiskey People. The non-profit activities are typically event and education driven in collaboration with other, larger groups.
​
This certificate was created in partnership with The Whiskey People d.b.a Capital Scotch and Whiskey (CSAW), a Washington State non-profit.
