This has certainly been a colourful year, one we hope you will remember for all good reasons. For us it has been a time of great togetherness, bringing our members around the world closer with a huge shift in activity onto our ‘virtual’ Members’ Rooms. We have done everything we can to keep the Society spirit alive and well online and we are grateful to have you as part of our whisky family.

We’ve updated our auction schedule and from this month all auctions will now start on a Monday and run for 7 days. Closing dates for the auction remain the same; on the first Sunday of each month. This allows us to extend our bottle deadline, giving you a little more time to get your bottles in to the month’s auction.

Please check out our updated auction schedule here!

All the best from The SWA Team in Glasgow.

Relaxed Break

Hi Maltstockees,

After 11 years of Maltstock, we guess we deserve a relaxed break… 😉 We’ve decided we have to cancel Maltstock 2020.

Social distancing is the very opposite of what Maltstock is all about. But, the safety of our guests and crew is always our number one priority. Covid-19 has made it impossible to safely host a relaxed Maltstock weekend. So, sadly, there will be no Maltstock weekend this year.

Annette, Bob, Klaas, Stan, Teun

But relax! We’ll be back in 2021!

Dates for next year are

10-12 September 2021

We hope to see you all next year. That would be very relaxed!

Tickets

Tickets for the 12^th edition will be available mid-September. First everyone who had already bought a ticket will get a chance to use it for the 2021 edition.

The past months we’ve tried to bring you a little bit off relaxed entertainment. We hope you enjoyed our virtual flyer hunt, the Black Sheep Red Sheep virtual morning walk, the Milk & Honey online tasting and of course the Whisky Shop Dufftown Relaxed Whisky Quiz!

Now we will get busy getting everything ready for 2021. In a very relaxed way of course.

PS

We do realize it’s our fabulous crew you will miss the most. So here they are:
