The Single Malt & Song Society (SMSS) is a recurring private gathering of like-minded friends dedicated to the appreciation of good whisky and good song, and to the recognition that both are vastly improved by good company. SMSS is neither a public organization nor a performing group; in fact, we're not exactly a group at all — SMSS exists in the gathering itself. Whiskies we have enjoyed, and about which we have learned, include single malts from all over Scotland (with an occasional blend or Irish Whiskey sneaking in). Songs we have enjoyed come from everywhere. At SMSS we sing from the heart, from the mind, and often from the bottle, but only rarely does anyone sing from the written page. SMSS does not provide a stage for performances, but rather a table around which we all sing together; to increase participation and thereby enrich the experience of us all. So raise a dram and sing together one and all, and let us strive to achieve unison in harmony!
