This bottle of barrel-aged gin from an Edinburgh distillery close to our hearts is the very last bottle in Canada! It’s on the shelf at Keg n Cork in Edmonton. Who’s going to give it a good home and kick their summer G&T game up a notch?

Wow. A letter we mailed out in 2023 has just now come back marked RTS. THREE YEARS!? We would not be sad if Canada Post finally went under. Ridiculous.

Enjoying some drams at the SMWS partner bar in Salzburg, Hotel Bristol.

Fresh off the bottling line at HQ. This will be available to Canadian members in the fall when we turn 15! 🤯

Having some lovely drams at SMWS Queen St on a sunny Friday afternoon in Edinburgh. Canadian members can look forward to this tasty number in our June Outturn. This is a great whisky!

Done! 🚲

Something cool is in the works. SMWS Canada members should watch their email next week… 😀

Giving this one some props tonight. Sherry on top and tropical fruits, pineapple juice. Excellent

Off and running for the February Outturn tastings at Kensington Wine Market in Calgary! 🥃🥃

After a week of events with the guys from The Rhythm & Booze Project, we managed only 1 pic together - a late night hotel hallway shot on the last night of their tour. 🙄😀🥃 Thanks Felipe & Paul; til next time!

The Rhythm and Booze Project closing out a hugely successful Victoria Whisky Festival with a Sunday afternoon whisky tasting/blues gig. THIS is how to host a whisky tasting!

Another great day for Felipe & Paul of The Rhythm & Booze project at the Victoria Whisky Festival! An interview with @terrydavidmulligan.bsky.social then a session in the Fathom Lounge at the Hotel Grand Pacific.

An amazing night at the Victoria Whisky Festival with Felipe & Paul of The Rhythm and Booze Project wowing the crowd with fab music and a brilliant whisky tasting!

And a wash board solo ftw

Filipe and Paul put on a great blues show while also dazzling the crowd with their whisky knowledge

What a fun way to start the Victoria Whisky Festival. Rhythm and Booze playing while enjoying some delicious Scotch Malt Whisky Society drams. #VWF2026 @smwscanada.bsky.social

Saw these guys (therhythmandboozeproject.com) last night at an @smwscanada.bsky.social event. Felipe on vocals & guitar & Paul (the Highland Cowboy) may or may not have performed the 1st washboard solo in recorded history. What a brilliant show! The whiskies were stellar, too.

The perfect Christmas whisky! This little beauty from Distillery No. 1 (which started it all for the SMWS over 40 years ago) was just released exclusively at Kensington Wine Market in Calgary. Limited in quantity and includes the first year of membership in SMWS Canada-the gift that keeps on giving!

Love it! Whisky is for sharing. 🥃

@smwscanada.bsky.social this is a surprisingly spectacular dram.So, so good!

The perfect tipple for turkey dinner. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Some absolute gems found in the shop at the Edinburgh Book Festival. 😂🥃

Thanks Don! 😊🥃

Very cool to see Edinburgh’s @holyrooddistillery.bsky.social featured in this promo video taken by @visit-scotland.bsky.social Starts at the 3:19 point: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDtB...

When it’s 9 days after Canada Day, and you’re not in Canada, but you finish a heel of Canadian single malt… 😏

Had a great time in Vancouver last night hosting a tasting for the fab folks of the Lady Byng Whiskey Society. Thanks to all who came out to enjoy our wares! 🥃

There’s nothing like a symphony to settle things down after a case of “the Mondays.” 🥃

Our May Outturn is out and there are some great bottles (peated single grain, anyone?)! Some are sold out at some stores but generally everything’s still available (and really we’ll priced!). Check smws.ca for deets. 📸: Evan at Kensington Wine Market

We love The Strath in Victoria!

I've just broken the story on Forbes that Scotch whisky cask investment 'firms' Cask 88 and Braeburn Whisky have gone bust. This is going to be an utter mess for a lot of innocent people who will lose a lot of money. www.forbes.com/sites/felipe...

Drink more sherry! A dinner of tasty tapas in Edinburgh ends with some sherry, which is a great way to get familiar with some of the flavours imparted to whisky from various sherry casks.

Our other gig, @holyrooddistillery.bsky.social won Icons of Whisky Global Distiller of the Year last night at the World Whiskies Awards in London. An amazing achievement; couldn’t be prouder of the whole team! 💕 🥃

More whisky folk joining the party here. Welcome Adam!

Catching @holyrooddistillery.bsky.social co-founder Rob Carpenter’s seminar at the Canadian Whisky Symposium. 🥃

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💕🥃 Hope you have something you love in your glass.

The things you find when wandering around a bookstore. ❤️🥃

Thanks Kelowna! We had a blast pouring for you at Whisky Global. New members, emptied bottles, stories shared - we enjoyed each and every one of you who came by our table. See ya next year?!

Happy Burns Day! Have you grabbed one of these yet? Bottled for Burns Day it’s still available at our partner stores. The perfect accompaniment to haggis! www.smws.ca/about/exclus...

Great idea! #HotScotch 🥃🔥

It’s a beautiful day to drink whisky! If you’re at the Victoria Whisky Festival today be sure to swing by our table for some delectable drams. 🥃

It’s whisky festival season! Edmonton ✅ Calgary ✅ Victoria - on our way!

Our January Outturn has just dropped (check out smws.ca for deets), so we’re killing heels to make room for the new bottles. This was a stunner. What are you drinking?

Alright, first post on here (can’t promise when the next one will be, but gotta start somewhere!) - HAPPY NEW YEAR!
