The Scotch
Malt Whisky Society are offering London
whisky fans, including non-members, the
chance to explore Scotland's Five Whisky
Regions at a special tasting experience
on 16th May at their Greville Street
venue.
 London's whisky enthusiasts have plenty
to look forward to this May. With World
Whisky Day on 16 May and festival season
underway across Scotland, there’s no
need to leave the capital to join
in—thanks to a special tasting
experience hosted by The Scotch Malt
Whisky Society.
While many fans head to famous whisky
destinations like Speyside, Campbeltown,
and Islay, Londoners can explore all
five Scottish whisky regions in one
place on 12 May.
Held at the Society’s Greville Street
venue, the event will feature tastings
from Campbeltown, Speyside, Islay,
Lowlands, and Highlands. Guests will
sample and compare each, guided by the
question, "what comes first, flavour or
region?" Attendees are invited to decide
for themselves which matters more when
choosing the ideal dram.
Usually reserved for members, the venue
will open its doors to non-members for
this occasion, offering a rare glimpse
inside the Society. Tickets are priced
at £50 for all guests.
The tasting coincides with the release
of 17 new bottles representing the five
regions, alongside "The Five Regions"
(£74), an 11 Year Old blended malt
drawing from each area.
Simone Malavolta, Manager of the
Society’s London venue, 19 Greville
Street, said: "May is an important month
for whisky, and we wanted to honour the
festivals by showcasing the incredible
breadth of whisky produced by the five
whisky regions of Scotland.
"We want to explore the interaction
between flavour and region, which can
often be surprising, but we’re not here
to say whether region or flavour should
come first when picking a whisky – that
is up to members to decide!"
Founded in Edinburgh in 1983, with a
second venue in Glasgow opened in 2020,
the Society has long prioritised flavour
over convention—eschewing distillery
names in favour of imaginative
descriptors like "Red wine and brine in
the old coal mine" and "Lavender honey
and chimney lobsters" to capture each
whisky's character.
"The Five Regions of Scotland" takes
place on Tuesday, 12 May at 6:30pm at 19
Greville Street. Tickets are available
online from
