\u00dcber uns<\/h1>

Der Grundstock der Society war der unverw\u00fcstliche Entdecker- und Abenteuergeist einiger weniger Personen, der uns noch heute anspornt. Inspiriert vom einzigartigen Charakter eines Single-Malt-Fasses, das vor \u00fcber 30 Jahren von einer Brennerei in Speyside gekauft wurde, gr\u00fcndete eine Gruppe von Freunden die Society im Jahre 1983, um weitere F\u00e4sser zu erwerben und diese Entdeckung mit erkundungshungrigen Gleichgesinnten zu teilen.<\/p>

In der Schweiz wurde der Ableger der Scotch Malt Whisky Society 1994 von Brad Richards und Ina Kraan gegr\u00fcndet. Mit viel Arbeit und Enthusiasmus haben sie dazu beigetragen die Society in der Schweiz erfolgreich zu etablieren. An unz\u00e4hligen Tastings, Events und sonstigen Aktivit\u00e4ten haben sie die Idee der Society und das Konzept der Einzelf\u00e4sser mit ihren fassstarken Abf\u00fcllungen Ihnen n\u00e4her gebracht. 2016 begannen Brad und Ina sich dann Gedanken zu ihrer Zukunft ausserhalb der Society zu machen. Der Hauptsitz der Society in Edinburgh bat Brad und Ina ein paar potentielle Nachfolger in der Schweiz auszumachen, darunter war auch Patric Lutz. So kam es, dass er per 1. Mai 2018 die neue Firma \u00abSMWS Switzerland llc\u00bb gr\u00fcndete und den Franchisevertrag f\u00fcr die Schweiz \u00fcbernahm.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Wer wir sind<\/h2>

Die Scotch Malt Whisky Society ist ein Club wie kein anderer. Hier k\u00f6nnen Sie sich mit anderen gleichgesinnten Whiskyliebhabern austauschen. Wir sind zudem international f\u00fcr unsere Mission bekannt, unsere Mitglieder auf eine spannende Entdeckungsreise in die Welt der weltweit gr\u00f6ssten Sammlung von Single-Cask-Whiskys mitzunehmen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Was wir tun<\/h2>

Jeder unserer Single-Cask-Whiskys muss die kompromisslosen Nasen unserer Verkostungsexperten \u2013 einer geheimen Gruppe unabh\u00e4ngiger Whiskykenner aus allen Lebensbereichen \u2013 zufriedenstellen, bevor er f\u00fcr wert befunden wird, in eine der ber\u00fchmten gr\u00fcnen Flasche der Society abgef\u00fcllt zu werden. Die Auswahlkriterien sind einfach: Qualit\u00e4t und Ausgefallenheit. Dem Verkostungsgremium liegen bei seiner Arbeit keine Informationen \u00fcber Alter, Ursprung oder Fasstyp vor, um sicherzustellen, dass die Whiskys der Society \u2013 ob jung oder alt, Highland oder Lowland, aus Sherry- oder Bourbonf\u00e4ssern \u2013 abgef\u00fcllt werden, wenn der optimale Reifegrad erreicht ist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Unsere Whiskys<\/h2>

All unsere Whiskys werden in Fassst\u00e4rke abgef\u00fcllt und weder einer Kaltfiltrierung noch einem anderen Prozess unterworfen, so dass unsere Mitglieder ihren Dram geniessen k\u00f6nnen, als k\u00e4me er direkt vom Fass. Das Resultat sind Abf\u00fcllungen, die h\u00e4ufig ebenso \u00fcberraschend wie genussvoll sind und die erstaunliche Vielfalt der Destillationskunst sowie die unbegrenzte Komplexit\u00e4t der Elemente Holz, Spirituose und Zeit widerspiegeln, die nur bei einer Single-Cask-Abf\u00fcllung auftritt.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Unsere einzigartigen Abf\u00fcllungen<\/h2>

Bei unserem selbstgesteckten Ziel, unsere Mitglieder auf eine Reise voller Geschmackssensationen mitzunehmen, suchen wir auch nach heissbegehrten Abf\u00fcllungen stillgelegter Whiskybrennereien, um unseren experimentierfreudigen Mitgliedern die M\u00f6glichkeit zu bieten, Whiskys zu geniessen, die fast verschwunden sind.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Entdeckerfreude<\/h2>

Eine Eigenart der Society Abf\u00fcllungen ist, dass wir die Brennerei nicht erw\u00e4hnen, zumindest nicht direkt.\u00a0Eine Zahl, nicht ein Name, kennzeichnet die Brennerei.\u00a0Dies, weil die Eigenart von Single Cask \u2013 Single Malt Whisky mit sich bringt, dass der Geschmack oft untypisch f\u00fcr die Region ist, aus der er stammt. Daf\u00fcr versehen wir jede Abf\u00fcllung mit einer ganz eigenen Beschreibung.
