This is the first time that Mars Whisky are collaborating with the SMWS. A historic bottle for sure. And not only that but in a 1st Fill Sherry Hogshead too!!!!! What a wonderful entrance into an independent bottler. This is the same as Homelander crashing onto the stage whilst on fire. maximum effect at the start and originally sold out in one minute of it becoming available.

Tasting Notes 

With a well-trodden floor of pine and birch, the dojo had an aroma reminiscent of saunas. Toffee apples limbered up, preparing to go head-to-head against fennel seeds in brown sugar, flambaed bananas, and mangoes in caramel sauce. Fresh notes of mint leaves entered through the sliding doors, merging with the rich character of cream sherry in traditional Japanese teacups. A dash of water brought our attention to a large bowl of fruit, packed with green apples, conference pears, peaches and juicy red berries. Meanwhile in the corner, malt loaf and a tarte tatin practised their karate techniques on punch bags filled with butterscotch popcorn and tobacco.

About SMWS 

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) was founded in 1983 by a group of friends lead by tax accountant Phillip ‘Pip’ Hills as a private members club. The concept behind the society was to source casks from all over Scotland which would then be bottled and made available exclusively to its members. Perhaps the most famous feature of these bottles are the unique codes. Each distillery is represented by a different number and the following digits indicate that particular release. That same year, the SMWS set up its first location in Leith’s Vault buildings in Edinburgh where it still stands today.
