SMWS 116.19<\/a> (Yoichi)<\/h2>\n

1994 20 Year Old<\/span><\/h2>\n

70cl \/ 61.3%<\/p>\n

The Scotch Malt Whisky<\/a> Society (SMWS) was founded in 1983 by a group of friends lead by tax accountant Phillip \u2018Pip\u2019 Hills as a private members club. The concept behind the society was to source casks from all over Scotland which would then be bottled and made available exclusively to its members.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most famous feature of these bottles are the unique codes. Each distillery is represented by a different number and the following digits indicate that particular release. That same year, the SMWS set up its first location in Leith\u2019s Vault buildings in Edinburgh where it still stands today.<\/p>\n

This whisky was distilled on 2nd February 1994 and aged in a single virgin oak punvheon for 20 years.<\/p>\n

A Japanese single malt bottling from Nikka’s flagship distillery in Hokkaido. Nikka was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, a former Suntory employee who had studied at the University of Glasgow, and later trained as a blender at the now lost Hazelburn distillery in Campbeltown.<\/p>\n

Taketsuru\u202fopened the Yoichi distillery in the same year as establishing the company, modelling its pot stills on the long-necked design of the Longmorn stills in Speyside.<\/p>\n
