SMWS 28.120: A World Cup Limited Edition Bottle Celebrating a 28-Year Wait

A Bottle of Destiny Linked by a 28-Year Wait

In 2026, the Scotland national team secured a spot in the World Cup tournament. This is a remarkable achievement, marking their first appearance since the 1998 France tournament, 28 years ago. To celebrate this memorable milestone, the bottle released for this occasion bears the distillery code '28'. The '28 years' that the Scotland national team has waited to take the world stage and the Society's code have naturally aligned. This special bottle, filled with the passion and pride of Scotland, is dedicated to soccer fans and whisky enthusiasts around the world.

Homage to Soccer and Scottish Culture

・Origin of the Name The product name 'A Belter for America' is an homage to the popular Scottish band The Proclaimers' hit song 'Letter to America'.

・Dynamic Limited Edition Design The bottle label features an impressive overhead kick from the Denmark match that secured Scotland's place in the World Cup, expressing deep respect for soccer and Scottish culture.

・A Special Set to Enhance the Viewing Experience The rich and complex flavors of dried fruits, spices, and dark chocolate (Flavor Profile: Dried Fruits & Spices) are a highlight. Additionally, the bottle comes in a special edition set with an 'Original Scarf Towel' to elevate the viewing experience of the 2026 tournament to its peak.
