About SMWS: Scotch Malt Whisky Society
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) is a private club that was founded in 1983 in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is dedicated to the appreciation and enjoyment of single malt whisky from distilleries around the world, as well as now increasingly other spirits. Moslty, the society purchases casks of single malt whisky from distilleries and bottles them as unique, single cask expressions, which are then made available exclusively to its members.
Membership in the SMWS provides access to a wide variety of single cask, single malt whiskies, which are typically bottled at cask strength, without any chill-filtration or added coloring. Members can also attend whisky tastings, events, and festivals hosted by the SMWS, and purchase exclusive bottlings and merchandise.
The SMWS is known for its unique flavor profiles, which are identified using a color-coded system that categorizes each whisky based on its predominant flavor characteristics. These profiles, which include categories such as "Spicy & Sweet," "Old & Dignified," and "Lightly Peated," are used to help members select whiskies that match their personal preferences.
The SMWS has grown to become a global organisation, with branches in the USA, Japan, and Australia. While membership is required to purchase bottles, the SMWS also offers a range of experiences and events that are open to the public, including tastings, dinners, and distillery visits.
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is a unique company and community that offers whisky enthusiasts the opportunity to explore and enjoy predominantly single cask, single malt whiskies from a variety of distilleries, and to connect with like-minded individuals through tastings and events.
