SMWS Glengoyne【123.1】, the Society's very first cask release from Glengoyne distillery.
●The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS)
Founded in 1983, the Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) is one of the world's most renowned independent bottlers. The Society bottles exclusively at single cask strength, without chill filtration or added colouring, preserving each cask's original character and distillery craftsmanship in full.
●What the Numbers Mean？
SMWS uses a distinctive two-part numbering system: the number before the decimal point identifies the distillery, while the number after it indicates how many casks from that distillery the Society has released to date.
●Glengoyne and SMWS【123】
The code "123" belongs exclusively to Glengoyne, a distillery located in the Scottish Highlands. Casks released by Glengoyne to independent bottlers are notably scarce in the market. Across the Society's entire history, only 35 Glengoyne single casks have ever been released — making it one of the rarest distillery codes in the SMWS catalogue.
●The First【.1】Cask
Under the SMWS numbering system, ".1" denotes a distillery's very first cask release in the Society's history. As Glengoyne's inaugural bottling under code 123, "123.1" holds a unique place as the first-ever release from this distillery. Among collectors, a distillery's SMWS ".1" first release — especially from a sought-after distillery — is consistently one of the most contested lots at auction.
For collectors chasing distillery "first cask" milestones and genuinely scarce releases, "123.1" is not to be missed.
