SMWS have gone down the route of small batch, 'rare' releases for their yearly festival bottlings, so join us as we look at which of the 2023 releases stand out.

We love young Laphroaig, so we're excited to try two single casks from two well respected independent bottlers - the Scotch Malt Whisky Society and Berry Bros & Rudd.

Find out which bottles are the winners from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society's April 2023 Outturn.

We're travelling to Israel and back to check out the first release of Milk & Honey distillery under the Scotch Malt Whisky Society label.

As the SMWS expands the list of distilleries they have bottled, we're excited to try the second Danish distillery, Thy, and find out why this cask was chosen to by the first release under the SMWS label.

We're only 18 years late to the party, but we've got our reviews and rankings of the 26 Malts, a collection of whiskies released in 2005 in a project that paired 26 writers and 26 artists together to create 26 unique bottlings.
