Outturn

Welcome to the year 2025 – we are delighted to present you with our latest Outturn. As you can see, it has been given a slight design lift. I hope you like it. Of course, it’s not about design, but above all about content. And this is also impressive! The second series of the Creators Collection, entitled “Homecoming”, brings together three whiskies from 20 to 32 years old. The labels are adorned with creations by artist Shona Hardie, who was inspired by the Society’s spiritual home, The Vaults in Leith.

In the Winter Wonders series, after the Halloween bottling, we present those for Christmas 115.33: Nostalgic notions and for New Year 39.307: A spicy soother.

Our current Outturn brings together a colourful bouquet of exclusive bottlings.

Members have been asking me for some time whether there will ever be Japanese whiskies at the Society again – now the time has come in Switzerland!

Always on the lookout for variety, you can currently discover four bottlings from distilleries that we have rarely seen in Switzerland or in general in recent times.

It’s here again, the time when it gets dark earlier and tempts us to end the days cosily – with or without a fire. At the same time, the end of the year is approaching – sometimes with anticipation, but sometimes also with stress about everything we should or want to do. Our latest Outturn is packed with bottlings aged between 4 and 31 years, from Scotland of course, but also from France via Israel to Taiwan and from the Caribbean.

In our October Outturn, we celebrate diversity within the whisky world and beyond. Aptly titled “United in Spirit”, Julien Willems reports on how the Society has remained curious from Irish to Japanese bottlings and celebrates diversity in the international whisky world.
