Step into The Vaults for a one-of-a-kind evening as two whisky legends battle it out in a dynamic head-to-head tasting!
In one corner is The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, with over 40 years of exceptional single cask bottlings and a portfolio spanning more than 160 distilleries. Expect precision, tradition, and bold, unforgettable flavour.
In the other corner stands Fragrant Drops, the independent bottling project of George Keeble and Rachel Dixon from Keeble Cask Company Ltd. This passion project combines George’s deep whisky knowledge with Rachel’s strong expertise in operations and project management. Together, they carefully select exceptional casks, and bottle each whisky when it’s at its peak character and fragrance.
George brings a broad background — from bartending in London to distilling experience in Australia, judging at the World Whisky Awards, writing for Whisky Magazine, and tasting hundreds of casks. Rachel applies nearly two decades of administrative and project management experience to ensure smooth sourcing, bottling, and storytelling.
Three drams from SMWS will go head to head with three from Fragrant Drops. The verdict is yours to decide!
A Society supper is included. Please arrive at 6.50pm for a 7pm start. Got dietary requirements or questions? Email us at vaults@smws.com.
