About Us

78 Degrees was started by two cognac and scotch enthusiasts.  They noticed that many people (including themselves) had misconceptions about scotch, cognac, and other premium liquors.  They also learned that many people found exploring scotch and cognac to be somewhat intimidating, and were unsure where to begin.  Since then, they have been on a mission to remove the shroud of mystery surrounding the world of cognac, scotch, and other aged spirits, making it more accessible to a larger audience.  78 Degrees will be holding events at bars all around the Bay Area at which guests will be presented with specially-selected flights and cocktails, along with fun and interactive education. A combination of education, fun, and approachability is used at the events to encourage nearly everyone to find a way that they can enjoy these fine spirits.
