One year ago, we were in the starting blocks for our “25 Years Society” celebrations in Switzerland and had the opportunity to spend some great evenings with Olaf.

We are proud to present our latest issue of Outturn – imbued with delicacies from every region of Scotland and nearly every flavour profile. Cask 30.112: Umami heaven is my personal favourite! By the way, I hope you don’t mind if I take you on a little journey back in time to the 1990s (but …

The Christmas tree’s been taken down, the candles have been blown out and even the King cake has been eaten. It’s a sure sign that the Christmas and New Year season is over. I hope you had a good rest and that you have had a good start to 2020! The whole SMWS team and …
