SMWS Introduces secret whiskies in surprise package

Scotch Malt Whisky Society is known for offering whiskies that are a bit different from others. Often, it's not immediately clear which distillery a whisky comes from, thanks to a code that is used.

But this time, it really is a surprise what SMWS delivers. The largest whisky association in the world has devised a kind of Kinder Surprise round whisky: Secret Sips.

Secret Sips is a package of whisky bottles that you can buy in three forms:

Secret Sips Duos: two bottles for 120 pounds
Secret Sips Trios: three bottles for 180 pounds
Secret Sips Cases: six bottles for 360 pounds

That means that for 60 pounds per bottle, you bring home some special whiskies, of which you do not know what they are. One thing is for sure, and that is that you bring home a relatively inexpensive cask strength whisky with an age statement. Whether you get a 29-year-old Desert Island Sponge Cake or another special bottle is unknown.

Only at the last moment, when you open the box upon delivery, you will know what you get.

Secret Sips only temporary and limited

The SMWS Secret Sips won’t be around forever. They’re available for a limited time, and each package is restricted to one per member. Want to surprise yourself or someone else? Be quick.

If you are not yet a member of SMWS, you can do it via this link.
