SMWS Scoops More Gold at San Fran Spirit Awards!

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society has enjoyed a great start to 2019 with another resounding success in this year’s San Francisco World Spirits Competition

The SMWS has wowed the judges again at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition with a haul of double gold medals for both our single cask malts, as well as bottlings from our Single Cask Spirits collection.

Available now to Australian members of the SMWS:

DOUBLE GOLD: Cask A2.2 Enchanted woodland stroll
GOLD: The Peat Faerie 10yo / 66.138 Deep, rich and burnt fruit
SILVER: Cask 53.283 A smoky smooch

The 2019 SFWSC featured almost 3,000 entries from all corners of the world, vying for an award in a blind tasting carried out by a panel of expert judges. Since its introduction in 2000, the SFWSC has become one of the most respected and influential spirits competitions in the world, with a medal award recognised as an indicator of exceptional quality and craftsmanship.

“This is a really welcome and encouraging result, demonstrating that SMWS whiskies and spirits are celebrated for their exceptional quality and diversity,” said SMWS spirits director Kai Ivalo. “The fact that Peat Faerie also collected a Gold medal is recognition of the craft, attention to detail and quality of our blended malts range, while our Single Cask Spirits collection is also going from strength to strength.

“The San Francisco World Spirits Competition awards also reinforce our Tasting Panel’s expertise in finding truly exceptional, one-of-a-kind single cask whiskies, and demonstrate the consistent quality we offer to our members around the world.

“For non-members, what are you waiting for? The Society is the perfect place to start your journey into the magical world of single cask, single malt.”
