SMWS Tasting Panel's tasting note: "We all noticed a fruity aroma on the nose neat. Descriptors included crispy green apples, mango and coconut smoothie, peach yoghurt, lemon mousse and orange drizzle cake. On the palate it was sweet and malty, with butter icing and orange zest next to a warm vanilla malted milkshake, with a finish of gooseberry and apple jam.
Following reduction we found even more vanilla on the nose and the fruits were now tangerines and papayas, plus an orange blossom citrus mojito. To taste, we enjoyed toasted coconut and lemon and lime shortbread, while notes of delicate savoury oak, almond butter and cinnamon added complexity and character."

A Club With Personality - Who Are We?
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is a club unlike any other. Since we were formed in 1983, we've believed in doing things differently. We seek out whisky in its purest form, we prize flavour above everything else, and we're united and constant in our passion - to share the world's best whiskies, to bring them to life, and to make you proud to belong to the world's most colourful whisky club.
Our Beginnings
"The people who said it couldn't be done were so dull" - Pip Hills, Society Founder
Our Society grew out of a few individuals' irrepressible spirit of discovery and adventure, which still drives us today. Inspired by the unique character of a cask of single malt whisky, purchased over 30 years ago from a Speyside distillery, this pioneering group of friends founded the Society in 1983 to buy more casks and share their discovery with like-minded adventurers.
What We Do
Each of our whiskies must pass the uncompromising noses of our expert Tasting Panel – a secretive group of independent whisky connoisseurs from all walks of life – before being deemed worthy of an iconic Society green bottle. The exploration of flavour and sharing our discoveries is what we're all about. Our members enjoy exclusive access to our hand-picked whiskies from over 140 distilleries in Scotland and beyond. We bottle them at cask strength and offer a constant variety. How you drink them is entirely up to you.
