This month we’re celebrating the wild diversity of both our whisky and our wonderful members. Partnering with leading UK naturalist and SMWS member Nick Baker, we’ve matched each of our flavour profiles to different forms of wildlife. Delve into your personality and taste preferences, and take our Find Your Spirit Animal quiz online at smws.com/hub. Share your discoveries with us on social media using the hashtag #spiritanimal.

Please note that we’re spreading the whisky love throughout May by staggering the Outturn; there are four releases now, and three more will follow in a couple of weeks – on Friday, May 15th – to coincide with World Whisky Day on May 16th!
