Scotch Lodge Appeals to a Range of Whisky Aficionados, from Newbies to Fedora Bros
Scotch consumption carries a lot of cultural baggage. In America, at least, it’s seen as a signifier of class and status. So it was hardly surprising to see Scotch Lodge—the new venture from Multnomah Whiskey Library curator Tommy Klus, located in the basement space that formerly housed landmark izakaya Biwa—packed on a recent Thursday night with swole 50-something CEO bros, polished gentlemen in fedoras and neckties and young dudes in pink button-ups you suspect voted for Trump.
