Out of stockWe love our virtual tastings, and we do them because you, our members, love them too! Not everyone is able to get to an in-person tasting or Partner Bar to sample our releases, so these packs present the perfect opportunity to try some really special stuff before you buy. For June, we’ve selected five whiskies worthy of a feast — five whisky courses, if you will — one of which is 4.399, the 19-year-old coastal Highland Premium malt (which we can guarantee you is an absolute winner). Plus, we’ve included a delightful can of Hop Nation Melbourne Black Stout to each pack. Five SMWS drams + a 44ml Melbourne-made Black Stout from Hop Nation, for just $129!

Sale!At the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, we’ve never been shy about experimenting with cask maturation. Over the years, we’ve explored just about every cask type imaginable - and discovered time and again how a great whisky can be shaped by an exceptional cask. As everyone knows, we have a long-standing love affair with sherry casks and the flavour results still surprise and delight us today. Rich, layered, and full of character - it’s a formula we know works. But that got us thinking: if sherry casks can do this much, what about other fortified wines? With Fortified: Adventures in Australian wine casks, we’ve taken that question to the other side of the world - exploring the impact of casks that once held fortified Chardonnay, tawny wine, and muscat. The result? A new flavour experience, built on the same taste for adventure that defines everything we do. It’s whisky with a twist. Familiar spirit, unexpected flavour... And you’ll taste it straight away - layer upon layer of unexpected texture, sweetness and spice. Chardonnay brings nutty depth and creamy oak. Tawny wine adds dried fruit, toffee and warmth. Muscat lifts everything with vibrant, floral sweetness. It’s a different kind of cask influence - and a new kind of flavour journey. Fortified: Adventures in Australian wine casks is a celebration of flavour exploration - where the whisky reaches new levels of complexity and brilliance through its time in far-flung wood.

Out of stockWhat’s the best way to be introduced to the new flavour profiles? To try them all, of course! And that’s what we’re giving you the opportunity to do, at one fantastic special price. Eight new drams — one from each of the new flavour profiles, 30ml of each — and an evening of education and discovery as the SMWS Aus team take you through each dram and flavour profile on the 22nd of April.

Out of stockWhat a treat we have for you all this month! It should come as no surprise that we’ll be tasting the four Winter Series bottlings in this month’s virtual, but what you might not expect is TWO different Christmas casks! Why? Because the UK accidentally sent us a handful of the alternate Christmas cask allocation — same distillery, same name, but different cask, age, and ABV. A stellar opportunity to jump on these five special-release whiskies, and tune in live on Wednesday, March 25 at 7pm AEST to join the SMWS team + (2025 Australian Malt Whisky Champion) on YouTube and Facebook.
