The Scotch Malt Whisky Society

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is a truly unique club, unlike any other. More than just a meeting place for like-minded whisky lovers, the Society is internationally renowned for its mission: to take its members on an adventurous and enjoyable journey of discovery through the world’s largest collection of single cask whiskies.

Each single cask whisky must pass the uncompromising noses of the expert Tasting Panel — a secretive group of independent whisky connoisseurs from diverse backgrounds — before being deemed worthy of the Society’s iconic green bottle.

The selection criteria are clear: quality and intrigue. The tasting panel conducts its work completely blind, without knowing the age, origin, or cask type. As a result, Society whiskies are only bottled when they are ready — regardless of whether they’re young or old, Highland or Lowland, sherry or ex-bourbon.

All Society whiskies are bottled at cask strength and are neither chill-filtered nor altered in any way. This ensures that members can enjoy their dram as if it were drawn straight from the cask. The result is often surprising and delightful: bottlings that precisely reflect the diversity of the distilling craft and the endless complexity of wood, spirit, and time — qualities that can only be captured in a single cask.

In addition to their exclusive Members’ Rooms, the Society collaborates with a carefully selected global network of like-minded partner bars. These locations offer guests the chance to enjoy a curated selection of single cask whiskies. The standards for partnership are high, meaning both members and non-members can always count on a perfectly poured dram.

It is therefore a great honour that Patrick’s Bar has been selected as one of only 150 locations worldwide where these exceptional whiskies are available.

We currently stock a diverse collection of around 325 Society bottlings.
