The Scotch Malt Whisky Society of America
"The Scotch Malt Whisky Society was formed in 1983 by a small group of Scottish connoisseurs who had discovered the superiority of whisky taken straight from the cask. In flavor and, of course, in strength these whiskies are markedly different from the commercially bottled versions, which have been chill-filtered and diluted. The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is an association of connoisseurs of single malt Scotch whiskies, whose object is to promote the appreciation and discerning consumption of the finest whisky in the world."
