The Scotch Malt Whisky Society was founded in Edinburgh in 1983 by Phillip 'Pip' Hills who, while travelling around Scotland in the 1970s, fell in love with whiskies drawn straight from the cask. After he expanded his syndicate the Society was purchased by Glenmorangie PLC in 2004. In 2015, the Society was sold back to private investors. In June 2021, the private owners floated the holding company The Artisanal Spirits Company plc on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange.
It has a unique code system where the first number refers to the distillery and the second refers to the cask from which the bottle comes. SMWS also offers the largest range of distilleries of any independent bottler. These curiously named drams really do have something for every whisky lover!
Plenty of fruit on the neat nose – strawberry jam, wine gums, apple pie and preserved pears as well as cherry liqueur. On the palate, a sticky sweet maple pecan danish, runny honey and candy floss before we had Danish ‘wasp stings chilli liquorice’– sweet on the outside with an intense chilli centre. Following reduction we still plenty of fruity aromas, such as cherry chocolates and homemade strawberry wine, but also the scent of sandalwood and tonka beans. A soft, fluffy and chewy mouthfeel awaited us with flavours of chocolate-coated orange sponge cakes, jelly babies and iced gems. At two years of age, we combined selected casks from the same distillery into a variety of different casks to develop further. This is one of those casks.
