The English Distillery 9 Year Old 2013 SMWS Single 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel 137.18 Slicing And Dicing English Single Malt Scotch Whisky (2024) 70cl

1 of 194 bottles produced from a single 1st fill bourbon barrel. 

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society was founded in Edinburgh in 1983 by Phillip 'Pip' Hills who, while travelling around Scotland in the 1970s, fell in love with whiskies drawn straight from the cask. After he expanded his syndicate the Society was purchased by Glenmorangie PLC in 2004. In 2015, the Society was sold back to private investors. In June 2021, the private owners floated the holding company The Artisanal Spirits Company plc on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange.

It has a unique code system where the first number refers to the distillery and the second refers to the cask from which the bottle comes. SMWS also offers the largest range of distilleries of any independent bottler. These curiously named drams really do have something for every whisky lover!

About The English Distillery

At a time when world-class Whisky made in England was unthinkable, our father and son founders took a chance and kick-started a category. In 2006, The English Distillery became England’s first registered, operational whisky distillery for over 100 years. When our founders built the distillery at the Norfolk site, they chose a spot directly above a source of sweet, mineral-rich water; the same water that’s made our whisky every day since 2006. Norfolk’s microclimate is optimal for barrel ageing, with clean air, mild winters, and dry summers. Every drop of ‘The English’ is aged in carefully selected barrels onsite. Still family-owned and not beholden to investors, we are passionate about using traditional, slow processes to ensure every drop of whisky is made the right way, whilst continually trialling to get the best results with a varied and well-aged stock. This approachable, exceptional portfolio is designed to invite discovery so that you will find something you love. All the whiskies are loved by customers and judges worldwide, achieving the ‘World’s Best Single Malt’ in the 2024 World Whiskies Awards, a three-star award in the 2025 Great Taste Awards and Gold at The 2025 IWSC Awards. This recognition is a testament to our passion, craft and over 18 years of distilling excellence.
