Single Malt Amateur Club

Giving rise to a new culture of whisky in India

Single Malt Amateur Club (SMAC) was founded in 2011 as a platform for amateurs, professionals and connoisseurs to share experiences and information on single malt whisky. SMAC believes whisky is for everyone and the ‘Amateur’ tag was added to empower members to shed their inhibitions and speak.

Most of the information found on single malt whisky is tuned to western taste buds and expressions. Therefore, SMAC aims to add a touch of India by giving tasting notes and reviews that readers can understand and relate to. With over 3000 registered members across the globe, this rapidly growing club curates' whisky tours, tasting sessions and master classes. It has the distinction of being the foremost whisky club in India that has its own bottling from some of the most reputed distilleries. True to its inclusive spirit, SMAC offers free membership to whisky lovers across the world.  SMAC is also the only club in India to be featured in the Whisky Advocate magazine as one of the top whisky clubs in the world.
