| WHAT ARE THE TASTINGS ABOUT... |
| As a whisky enthusiast, no doubt your palate is attuned to the subtleties of many single malts... but... how well do you know the differences between a highland malt or an island malt, or perhaps a lowland malt?
Come along to our next tasting and test your skills on some of the latest exclusive single malts to arrive on our shores. Finger food, specifically chosen to accentuate and compliment the different flavours in the various whiskies will be served.
The evenings are designed not only to stimulate the palate but also to answer your questions and for general discussion. Come along, practise your nosing and tasting skills and learn more about this fine drop!
Please go to our Calendar of Events page for more information |

SMWS WHISKY TOUR OF SCOTLAND
May 31st - June 9th 2011
The Vaults Bar in Leith, Edinburgh
Our amazing Whisky Tour to Scotland returns and is now full-steam ahead for June next year. This is truly the ultimate trip for whisky fans and drinkers, and the Society’s connections allow us to put together incredible distillery visits and experiences that you simply won’t get as a regular tourist. Our last tour was perfect and couldn’t be improved upon, but we’ve managed to (a) add an extra day on Islay, (b) add an extra distillery to the list, (c) add more tourist attractions to visit, (d) reduce the amount of driving time on the bus, and (e) reduce the price of the tour!!
Full details and the itinerary are listed in our newsletter (Outturn-2) downloadable from this News page. This very special and bespoke tour is limited to just 10 lucky members & partners only, so be sure to register early for an unforgettable experience.

MATCHING THE NUMBERS TO THE DISTILLERIES |
| A frequently asked question is "How do I match the numbers to the distilleries?"
Under the arrangement the Society has with distillers the Society undertakes not to put the distiller's name on the bottle, and not to publish a list which matches the numbers to the distilleries. However the Society map, together with the tasting notes, allow members to identify where the whisky comes from, without too much effort, and is a good way to learn a bit about Scotland.
A private whisky web site in Denmark (Whisky Portal), however, has published this list, and as the site contains useful whisky information for our members we have created a link to it off our own web site.
To find the site do the following:
Select "Links" (in the green area at the top of the page, second line, last word)
Under the heading "Whisky Sites" click on "Whisky Portal"
This brings up the Whisky portal disclaimer page. Click on the underlined words "Whisky portal"
On the left hand side of the page which then appears is a list. Click on "SMWS Codes" and the list of distilleries and codes will appear.
If you need any further assistance, please contact the Society direct.
