In the spirit of sharing great whisky, creative energy and inspiring minds, the Scottish Malt Whisky Society, has collaborated with Soho House to provide its members with various experiences throughout the Edinburgh Festivals season this August.
Members of Soho House (36 Houses worldwide) will have exclusive access to The Scotch Malt Whisky Society on Queen Street from the 5th to the 29th of August 2022 in an exclusive collaboration.
Rebecca Hamilton, Group Marketing & E-Commerce Director at The Scotch Malt Whisky Society said:
“Working with the Soho House team is a meeting of the minds – we are mutually interested in creating and curating special experiences for a community of members. Because what we do has been crafted with passion for flavour, artistic flair and long-established expertise – and we like to do things differently with life-loving like-minded people – welcoming Soho Members to discover our whisky makes absolute sense. We look forward to welcoming members to try our cocktail creation – and more - this August. "
Members of Soho House can gather their friends for a whisky flight, available only to members, in which they will be able to taste a selection of superior Scotch malt whiskies, from the incredible variety curated by the Society. More than 550 limited edition whiskies sit on the bar – each with a unique flavour experience for the drinker.
The Soho House X SMWS Cherry Blossom cocktail, an exquisite blend of SMWS whisky infused with peach, cherry liquor, orgeat and fresh lime juice is also available throughout August in the Kaleidoscope Bar on the ground floor. The award-winning bar is open to both members and non-members of SMWS. It has a huge range of ever-changing, limited edition, single cask, single malt whiskies and cask cocktails alongside a selection of cocktails, craft beers, wines and spirits.
“We are extremely proud of being named Whisky Global Bar of the Year – but it’s not surprising why with our whisky expertise and diverse range of unique bottlings. Seeing someone’s face the first time they try our whisky is what I will look forward to this August, as we welcome Soho Members to the city,” said Sarah Prior, General Manager at SMWS Queen Street.
