SMWS distillery codes decoder

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society labels its single-cask bottlings with a number rather than the distillery’s name. The figure before the point is the distillery code and the figure after it is the cask: 29.123 is Laphroaig, the 123rd cask the Society has bottled from that distillery. A letter in front marks a different spirit: G for grain whisky, B for bourbon, RW for rye and CW for corn whiskey.

Type a bottle number into the decoder, or find the code in the table. Where we list the distillery, the row links to its page, where you can compare UK prices for its own bottlings and other independent releases.
