Bizarrely you get a free bottle of brandy when you join, also 30 quid off the membership price at the mo. You get access and discounts to their bars and money off their bottlings etc., The higher the membership you get free bottlings etc. I got groupon a deal years a go for a whisky tasting a meal and it was really nice but decided not to take up the offer as the bottles weren't too cheap and was on apprentice wages at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Andy Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Managed to get a couple bottles as birthday gifts this week. An Arran amarone cask finish and a Highland Park 18. I tried the Arran at a distillery tasting and would have bought it there and then if I hadn’t already picked another bottle to take with me. The Highland Park 18 may sit for a while before i eventually open it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an offer to join them at the moment and currently debating whether to. I’ve been a member for years , was a gift , from mrsBBB . Originally you used to get fantastic 3 for 100 quid “bin end” type deals , but over the years can struggle to get 2 for a ton. That said they are still generally very good prices for cask strength expressions , and you will struggle to see the variety of different casks ( distilleries ) on such a regular basis elsewhere. If you just want to buy good value cask strength whisky , have a look at Whiskybroker, the rates are very good , but there isn’t the variety or turnover of choice that the SMWS offers. however I travel with work a lot and get good use out of the members rooms in London , and recently was in the partner bar in KL , and generally like to have a bottle or 2 on the shelf the whisky is generally good , and the flavours are normally mostly in the description, so if you know what you don’t like , don’t buy Tat particular bottle , so Thumbs up from Bishopburn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopburn boy Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Just to stay on topic , tonight’s dram is a SMWS grain whisky , a 9 yo from loch lomond’s coffey stills , 15.1 , a lovely sharp dram lots of vanilla , being grain in fresh wood it’s quite bourbon like , but that’s ok ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually a few of us go through 3 or 4 times a year and then maybe a couple of tasting nights too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peedzy Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Bunnahabhain 12yo is on clearance at Morrisons for £20, but you'll need to be quick as they're flying off the shelf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
