The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) is famous for bottling single casks from a wide range of distilleries, but instead of printing the distillery name on its labels, the Society uses a system of numerical SMWS codes.
The first number in each SMWS code identifies the distillery, while the second (after the dot) represents the individual cask bottled from that site — for example, 3.25 means the 25th cask from Distillery #3, Bowmore.
This reference guide lists every current known SMWS distillery code, alongside its region and country. Whether you’re decoding a bottle label, researching an auction listing, or just curious about the origins behind a Society release, this table offers a quick and reliable look-up for whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
The list is updated regularly by whisky.directory to reflect new bottlings and changes within the Scotch Malt Whisky Society portfolio. If you see any mistakes or know of any new or updated SMWS codes, please get in touch.
