Whether you’re a long-standing member of The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) or simply curious about the world of whisky, this event is open to everyone.
Founded in 1983, SMWS is a global whisky club known for its adventurous spirit and exceptional single cask bottlings. The Vaults in Leith, Edinburgh – originally a wine merchant’s bonded warehouse dating back to the 12th century – has been their spiritual home for over 40 years. It’s a place where whisky lovers gather to explore rare drams, share stories, and connect over a shared passion.
Enjoy a full takeover of the Members’ Rooms with unique drams from the latest releases, live music from John Dunleavey, delicious canapés, and an exclusive pop-up Old & Rare Lounge.
The Gathering: The Vaults Unlocked takes place on the evening of 05 September 2025. Advance online booking is required.
