The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS), the world’s leading whisky club with over 40,000 members, is ‘wrapping up’ 2024 with the launch of a festive tasting pack and a new premium series named The Creators Collection containing peated single malts.
The A Dram Good Christmas Tasting Pack (£39) and The Creators Collection (£1,310) demonstrate SMWS’ ability to curate incredible single cask whiskies to suit every drinker and budget.
A Dram Good Christmas Tasting Pack
The A Dram Good Christmas Tasting Pack is the perfect opportunity for a little festive whisky exploration. Containing three 50ml bottles of SMWS limited edition whisky, the pack allows whisky connoisseurs and novices to explore a variety of profiles, complete with tasting notes to guide you.
You can purchase the tasting pack in time for Christmas here for £39.
The Creators Collection with Peat Plants
SMWS has also unveiled the first installment in a brand new series called The Creators Collection. This first release consists of four premium, peated single malt whiskies. They are:
- Fern & Flame (26 years old): Inspired by Highland ferns, this whisky offers earthy notes with a balanced smokiness.
- Peat Bloom (33 years old): A complex blend of smoke and maritime saltiness reminiscent of coastal landscapes.
- Moss & Mist (25 years old): Evoking Islay’s damp, misty bogs, it features medicinal peatiness and rich depth.
- Heather Ember (25 years old): Capturing the floral hints of Orkney’s heather, it delivers a subtle sweetness interwoven with smoke.
The packaging for The Creators Collection with Peat is inspired by Scotland’s natural landscape and the wide variety of peat types found there.
Priced between £195 and £425 individually, the entire set can be purchased for £1,310.
