SMWS releases — November 2020

9 bottles we have a record of
Partial record. These are past SMWS bottlings we know were released in November 2020, reconstructed from the Society's own bottle archive. It may not be that month's complete Outturn: the archive only lists bottles that have sold out, and it does not record which release each bottle belonged to, so other ranges may appear here too.
Distillery and Region under each bottle are decoded from its cask code and link to that code's page. Tasting notes are short attributed extracts — full notes are on SMWS.
