The Scotch Malt Whisky Society has announced the launch of a new series of ultra small-batch bottlings, each combining two casks of single malt from the same distillery that are married before bottling.

Each release in the new ‘Two to One’ series is said to have undergone a unique journey from cask to bottle, resulting in a diverse array of styles, textures, and flavours.

The series will debut this month with six releases:

Society No. 10.284 – Ginger Rollmop Sushi Phantasmagoria: 11 Year Old (59.1% ABV) A peated bottling which was initially matured in two Bourbon hogsheads, which after five years were transferred into a first-fill American oak PX hogshead and a second-fill Oloroso hogshead, then married together prior to bottling. RRP: £80.00.

Society No. 18.76 – Moroccan Pastilla Anyone? 15 Year Old (55.4% ABV) A spicy and sweet bottling, matured in new American HTMC (heavy toast, medium char) and first-fill Spanish oak Oloroso casks. RRP: £80.00.

Society No. 46.152 – The Fruit Merchant: 16 Year Old (51.6% ABV) A sweet and fruity blend of new American oak HTMC hogshead and first-fill American oak Oloroso hogshead casks. RRP: £90.00.

Society No. 70.63 – Interdimensional Patisserie: 16 Year Old (54.7% ABV) A spicy and sweet bottling of first fill American oak PX hogshead and New American oak medium toast barrique casks. RRP: £85.00.

Society No. 80.62 – Strawberry Sumac Scones: 14 Year Old (58.1% ABV) A sweet fruit and spiced bottling, matured in first-fill Spanish oak Oloroso and first-fill American oak Oloroso casks. RRP: £80.00.

Society No. 95.109 – I’ve Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts: 14 Year Old (62.4% ABV) A tropical fruit laden combination of a refill Trinidadian rum barrel and New American oak HTMC barrel. RRP: £75.00.

Commenting on the launch, Euan Campbell, said: “The concept is straightforward: Two to One means taking two casks of single malt from the same distillery and seeing how they can fit together to create an ultra small-batch bottling. The whiskies could have different ages and have undergone maturation in different wood types before being married and bottled at natural cask strength. This is a new adventure for us. The whisky in each bottle has a different journey through a range of cask types to create something unique and delicious. We love the end result and we hope everyone else does!”
