WELCOME THE WHISKY SEASON WITH MEMBERSHIP TO THE WORLD’S LEADING WHISKY CLUB 

The gift of membership to The Scotch Malt Whisky Society offers your loved ones the chance to discover new flavours and experiences with fellow whisky-lovers across the globe 

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) opens up a whole new world of adventures for the whisky-lover in your life. Unique whisky experiences that can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home are at the heart of this colourful whisky club, and annual membership starts from just £65: https://smws.com/whisky-club-membership

The Society offers an ever-changing range of one-off whiskies, released each month in a new Outturn across the complete spectrum of flavour profiles. Membership includes access to these whiskies and tickets to a calendar of exciting and informative virtual events.

Every Society single malt whisky is hand-picked for its exceptional quality and intriguing character. Distinctive, diverse and strictly limited to the contents of one cask, each bottling is a case study in flavour and a precious opportunity to experience whisky in its purest form, straight from the cask.

But being part of its ever-growing community of over 27,000 whisky fans goes beyond the Society’s outstanding single-cask spirits. Membership provides exclusive access to Members’ Rooms in Edinburgh, London and Glasgow as well as a calendar of UK-wide virtual tasting events.

FESTIVE HOME ENTERTAINMENT WITH SMWS

The Society has adapted to its members’ needs with an extended programme of at-home entertainment over the festive period. The SMWS gives festivities a twist with virtual tastings, masterclasses, live music, podcasts, video content, music playlists and much more, all available to members at: https://smws.com/events
