ASC's purpose is to captivate a global community of whisky adventurers, creating and selling outstanding, one-of-a-kind whisky and experiences around the world with an ambition to create a high quality, highly profitable and cash generative, premium global business.

Based in Edinburgh, ASC owns The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS), Single Cask Nation (SCN) and J.G. Thomson (JGT), as well as operating a cask storage, bottling and logistics facility in Scotland. Owning over 17,000 casks primarily comprising Single Malt Scotch Whisky, ASC's stock includes outstanding whisky (and other spirits) from 150 different distilleries across 20 countries which is sold both as individual bottles and whole casks.

Established in 1983, SMWS currently has a growing worldwide membership of over 41,000 paying members.
