The Scotch Malt  Whisky  Society (SMWS) is an international members club that bottles the world’s widest selection of exceptional and rare single cask, single malts for discerning whisky lovers from all corners of the world.  

We like to think of ourselves as unconventional, adventurous – and a lot of fun.

The SMWS was founded in Edinburgh in 1983, and now the Society is firmly established as the world’s foremost malt whisky club and remains truly one of a kind. The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is present in 21 countries around the world. SMWS whisky is only  ever bottled from a single cask, at cask strength with no water or colouring added and with no chill filtration.  

Each cask is unique and by definition a limited edition – whisky as the cask intended. 

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society attracts whisky enthusiasts from all walks of life; from younger members discovering whisky for the first time to experienced connoisseurs. Join us!
