Recent Reviews of SMWS bottlings

SMWS 41.42 - Seduction in an Austrian coffee house - Roses and walnut cake
Nose: A quite sweet and fresh start on vanilla and dried apricot, spiced walnut cake showing nutmeg, cinnamon and some lemon rind but not at all heavy. Some quite floral notes sit behind with delicate … read more

SMWS 93.38 - Stirs the atavistic soul - Pull up to the bumper baby!
Pull up to the bumper baby! Nose: An awful lot going on here - this is not the most accessible bouquet I've come across but that's not to say I don't relish a challenge! There's an underlying sweetness… read more

SMWS 93.38 - Stirs the atavistic soul - Dusty Curiosities
Reading my notes back for this whisky, I'm convinced its one of those bottles that a) you would never expect, b) would probably never choose to taste based on your own notes, and c) you're so glad exists… read more

SMWS G1.7 - Flamed Christmas Pudding - Go with the grain...
"A grain whisky?", I hear you cry. "I thought this was a malt society?" Hang on though. This is no normal grain whisky. Some time back around the birth of the interwebs (Christmas 1990), the spirit for… read more

SMWS 3.158 - Counterpoint and cadenza - Just peachy!
I approached this one with slightly less excitement than I usually do with an SMWS bottling – I haven't been overwhelmed by the Bowmore whisky I've tried in the past. When it comes to Islay I love Ardbeg… read more

SMWS 105.14 - A sweet song with deeper resonances - Freshly painted with fruity emulsion
The Tormore distillery was the first Scottish distillery to be built in the 20th century (in 1958-1960), and sounds like one of the more intriguing distilleries to visit - some Googling tells me it has… read more

SMWS 35.34 - Moroccan tea-room masculinity - Doe what it says on the tin (or Bottle)
The most amazing nose, with a full body and doesn't let you down on the palate. A truly wonderful offering from this distillery and unlike anything I've tasted from Glen Moray before.

SMWS 125.33 - Tutti frutti beauty - A fruit salad nose being chased by its tail
I must admit this is the first Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) bottling I've tried, so I've had to make extra special attempts to stop excitement getting in the way. Apparently excited tastings make the… read more

SMWS 76.70 - Angels would weep - No Need for Weeping
Nose: Quite hot and a little reserved at first. Rich and somewhat meaty sherry but with enough freshness to not leave you feeling that the malt has been completely overpowered, fig and raisin sit at the… read more
-
SMWS 33.80 - A foodie's delight! - No Rollercoaster, this is an Ardbeg big dipper!
Try as you might, its impossible not to get excited when you taste a new Ardbeg whisky for the first time. Let alone a single cask bottling limited to just 242 bottles. This is an 11 year old whisky … read more
