The Scotch Malt Whisky Society new Members Room has now opened on Bath Street. Local comedians and musicians took to the stage to host an evening of whisky and warm welcomes to launch the venue.
Doors are now open to members and guests, with non-members having the chance to experience the Society’s magnificent collection of single malt whisky at non-member days and tasting events every Tuesday in March.
The new venue brings the Society’s colourful whisky experiences to Glasgow for the first-time in a Members’ Room, and follows on from already established SMWS locations in Edinburgh, including their home at The Vaults in Leith.
The Bath Street location has rooms exclusively for SMWS members that will be open every week from Tuesday until Sunday. On Mondays, the entire venue can be hired for exclusive use for groups of up to 120 people.
More than 300 Society bottlings are on offer from across their 12 unique flavour profiles such as Old & Dignified and Oily & Coastal, with a selection of outstanding single cask, single malts available by the dram.
The interior décor of the venue is consistent with existing SMWS Members’ Rooms but with a modern and vibrant Glasgow flavour, including artwork from local artists, to reflect this new home for whisky lovers in the city.
The venue space is set up for a range of occasions, with relaxed lounge seating, including a Vaults Snug, as well as more formal areas. The dedicated whisky tasting room can accommodate up to 10 people, and is available for private tastings.
As well as an ever-changing range of SMWS whiskies, there will be a selection of special proprietary whiskies alongside local beers and a menu of creative, whisky-inspired cocktails.
Chef James Freeman has designed a food menu to include Scottish Tapas, braised Scotch lamb hotpot and whisky cured salmon.
Calum Lawson, Venue Manager at Bath Street, said: “We¹re delighted that our brand-new Members’ Room is now open in the wonderful city of Glasgow.
“We have a high number of existing members in the city and the surrounding area and we can¹t wait to welcome them into the new venue, as well as recruiting new whisky-loving members. We are so excited that we¹re now very much a part of this amazing city’s vibrant whisky scene.”
“Membership of The Scotch Malt Whisky Society brings whisky adventurers from all over the world together to share colourful experiences and the finest single cask single malt whisky.”
