The Scotch Malt Whisky Society does an amazing job of making so many whiskies (and other spirits) available to us, however it can be a challenge to remember the codes to your favorite distilleries, much less to the other 150+ distilleries. The purpose of this app is to make it a bit easier to access these codes. There are numerous websites that have listed the codes and I wish to thank all of those who took the time to track them down and make them available. But I often found myself consulting those sites and scrolling through the long lists thinking that there must be a quicker, easier way to look up the info. That is the purpose of this app and I hope you find it as useful as I do.
