IGNITE YOUR SENSES THIS CHRISTMAS

This Christmas, we’ve teamed up with Kingdom Scotland to pair single cask whiskies with two gorgeous perfumes

We’ve collaborated with Scotland’s first Fragrance House, Kingdom Scotland, pairing our single cask whiskies with two luscious perfumes. Available to sample and spray at Society Members’ Rooms in London, Glasgow and Edinburgh, the partnership explores the fascinating relationship between whisky and perfume.

The Kingdom scents Metamorphic and Portal have been expertly paired with SMWS Flavour Profiles Lightly Peated and Juicy Oak & Vanilla. The collaboration will bring to life Society guests’ olfactory systems (sense of smell), igniting the senses at our venues across the UK this festive season.

METAMORPHIC paired with LIGHTLY PEATED

Inspired by metamorphic rock, Metamorphic fuses black pepper and tobacco, incense, minerals and rose absolute. As it’s warmed on the skin, the scent reveals a base of amber resin and leather. A natural fit for the Lightly Peated Flavour Profile.

PORTAL paired with JUICY, OAK & VANILLA

Portal evokes a fresh, outdoorsy, gusting nose with herbaceous botanicals and bergamot, resting on a veritable forest floor of vetiver and Scots pine. A match made in heaven for Juicy Oak & Vanilla.

Delicate and sweet bonfire smoke framed a scene of tranquility as toasted pine nuts, hazelnuts and chocolate-covered marshmallows bobbed in rock pools that reflected the warm glow of a setting sun as it illuminated seagulls wings high above.

On a seaweed shrouded rocky outcrop sat a mermaid carefully wrapping antiseptic gauze around an inflamed flipper, surrounded by mussels, oysters and a large box of salted dark chocolates. A few drops of water delivered sweet smoke from a blazing sugar plantation that wisped over freshly baked bread and buttered toast as the mermaid's medicine combined cloves and camphor with oily fish.

Subtle characters fused elderflower and applewood smoke on the sublime finish before ending with creamy notes of smoked barley and burnt milk.
