International Women’s Day
In March 2025, SMWS added five limited edition International Women’s Day whiskies to its portfolio from which 5% of the profits will be donated to the OurWhisky Foundation. The OurWhisky Foundation is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to supporting women in the whisky industry. The foundation does this by funding a mentorship program, as well as connecting women in whisky with big-name brands for unique partnership opportunities.
Spirit Notes
Unreduced we experienced sweetness and darkness with toasted coconut, balsamic glaze, sundried tomatoes and dried plums with ham and melon. Elsewhere there were oak floors, chesterfields with ginger snaps, bourbon biscuits and burnt toffee. With water there was creamy sweetness with juicy fruitiness. We had cola with vanilla ice cream, milk chocolate dusting powder, stewed apples and pears, with cloves on an iced cinnamon bun. Burnt paper took us back to the darkness with vintage wool, waxed jackets and liquorice. This was matured in a bourbon hogshead for nine years before being transferred into first-fill Spanish oak oloroso hogshead.
