– Get your tasting glasses ready and put the date in your diary!
The Scotch Malt Whisky Societies September Virtual ‘Gathering’ is fast approaching but there is still time to Buy Your Pack!
The Gathering is an annual celebration of all things ‘Society’ with various events that bring the Society members together. And for those that can’t join in the fun at a physical event, they can meet up ‘virtually’ by sharing some drams online!
With that in mind, Society master ambassador John McCheyne will be joined by The SMWS’s favourite host Mads Schmoll for a very special virtual tasting on Thursday, 30 September.
Five drams that have been bottled exclusively for The Gathering and it is guaranteed to be a fun-filled evening, sharing memories and stories about the Society.
So, join us on the day with your drams (and some water if you need it) on the UK Facebook page!

About The SMWS
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is a club unlike any other.
As well as being a place to connect with other like-minded whisky lovers, they are also internationally renowned for their mission: “to provide our members with an adventurous and fun journey of discovery of the world’s widest collection of single cask whiskies.”
Conceptualised in the late 70’s and established in 1983, the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, now 35 years old, has branches and partners bars in 19 countries globally. The Society has a selection of over 500 casks every year, each cask yielding a few hundred or less whisky bottles which are unique to that cask.
Rather than name their Whiskies after the distillery, the Society has a coding system. The Society also creates fantastic tasting notes summaries for their Whiskies and other bottles. The whiskies are straight from the cask single malt, undiluted, without chill-filtration or colouring at cask strength.
More recently the Society has been named Independent Bottler of the Year in Whisky Magazine’s prestigious Independent Bottlers’ Challenge (IBC) competition.
