Scotch Malt Whisky Society Distillery 28 A Belter for America 10 Year Old

About

This 35cl half bottle was released by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society to celebrate Scotland's qualification for the 2026 World Cup – after a 28-year wait. The number 28 carries extra weight for supporters: it marks both the distillery and that long drought. A whisky built to travel, designed to be cracked open with your mates when the whistle blows in America. Matured for ten years in Spanish oak, this single malt announces itself immediately on the nose and palate. Ripe dried fruit sits alongside warming spice and dark chocolate, with coffee grounds lingering in the background. The cask influence is pronounced – peppery and direct, without pretension. The finish holds its ground, a measured intensity that reflects the spirit's confidence. A limited release that asks nothing more than to be enjoyed, though its scarcity will likely make it a keeper for many.
