Title
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society of America
Description
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society was formed in 1983 by a small group of Scottish connoisseurs who had discovered the superiority of whisky taken straight from the cask. In flavor and, of course, in strength these whiskies are markedly different from the commercially bottled versions, which have been chill-filtered and diluted.
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is an association of connoisseurs of single malt Scotch whiskies, whose object is to promote the appreciation and discerning consumption of the finest whisky in the world.
Commercially-bottled malt whisky has to be consistent in taste and the whiskies from different casks are mixed, with great skill, to achieve this uniformity. The Scotch Malt Whisky Society exists to celebrate diversity. The Society's tasting committee selects particularly fine casks and we bottle their contents, at cask strength, without chill-filtration. We bottle malts from all of the distilleries and have brought to light some really great whiskies which hitherto were unknown to the public. Each cask is allotted a number which appears on the bottle label so that members may identify the whisky.
