SMWS Tasting Panel's tasting note:  "A rather sprightly nose opens on hot cross buns, brandy snaps, ginger cuts and spiced honey drizzled over granola. A rising scent of warm vapour rub emerges along with white stone fruits and newspaper ink. A little dilution brings out cola cubes and Irn Bru cordial with cookie dough, golden syrup flapjacks and blondie (as opposed to brownie).

The palate is thick and sweet with dried papaya, lime peel, sooty and floral aspects and chunks of honeycomb mixed with bashed up Hobnobs. With water there’s pecan pie, toasted chestnuts, mandarin liqueur, baking soda and a light water cracker dryness. Some lemon dusted bonbons freshen up the finish."

A Club With Personality - Who Are We?

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is a club unlike any other. Since we were formed in 1983, we've believed in doing things differently. We seek out whisky in its purest form, we prize flavour above everything else, and we're united and constant in our passion - to share the world's best whiskies, to bring them to life, and to make you proud to belong to the world's most colourful whisky club.

Our Beginnings

"The people who said it couldn't be done were so dull" - Pip Hills, Society Founder

Our Society grew out of a few individuals' irrepressible spirit of discovery and adventure, which still drives us today. Inspired by the unique character of a cask of single malt whisky, purchased over 30 years ago from a Speyside distillery, this pioneering group of friends founded the Society in 1983 to buy more casks and share their discovery with like-minded adventurers.

What We Do

Each of our whiskies must pass the uncompromising noses of our expert Tasting Panel – a secretive group of independent whisky connoisseurs from all walks of life – before being deemed worthy of an iconic Society green bottle. The exploration of flavour and sharing our discoveries is what we're all about. Our members enjoy exclusive access to our hand-picked whiskies from over 140 distilleries in Scotland and beyond. We bottle them at cask strength and offer a constant variety. How you drink them is entirely up to you.
