THE PERFECT TIME TO SIGN UP2

In challenging times, we need our comforts more than ever – and The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is there to keep our members’ spirits up not only with outstanding whiskies, but by providing the means to share them online with fellow members near and far.

We like to think of our drams as always tasting ‘better when shared’ and that’s the case even in this period of ‘social distancing’, as we conduct virtual tastings through our social media platforms and provide whisky entertainment and education in our virtual Members’ Room.

Our members are at the heart of everything we do, in real life and online. Sign up now to find comfort and entertainment in our family of whisky adventurers.
