Who we are

Keepers of the Quaich are dedicated people who work, write or evangelise about the Scotch Whisky Industry. The Society receives applications for new members from all over the world to be inducted at the Ceremony of Induction twice a year at Blair Castle.

At each Banquet, a select few existing members are honoured with the prestigious title Master of the Quaich.

Blair Castle is the fortress of the Earls and Dukes of Atholl and home to the only legal private army in Europe, the Atholl Highlanders. The infantry regiment plays a pivotal role in our Ceremony of Induction.
