SMWS epic Christmas Outturn preview, live with Matt Bailey!

VIRTUAL EVENT

Set yourself up at home on November 3 with 10 x 15ml samples from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society's massive end of year Outturn, and sign on with the wonderful Matt Baily your SMWS National Ambassador. Each year, the Scotch Malt Whisky Society releases a huge end of year offering by combining the November and December Outturn to make one big bumper issue! So join us from the comfort of your own home, with 10 single casks that have been selected by the rigorous the SMWS tasting panel in the UK.

What The Scotch Malt Whisky Society offers is far beyond that of your average independent bottler. Meticulous panel assessment means no corners cut when it comes to quality and flavour, and working directly with distilleries means no casks bottled from brokerage lists. Every single cask the SMWS bottles is selected for flavour, not just because it is available. The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is the epitome of quality and rarity in independently bottled whisky, and they have held that bar since 1983.
