The Grand Tour of Speyside continues around Australia, next stop — Launceston, Tassie!
Hot on the heels of our Hobart Speyside stop, Keeper of The Quaich and SMWS Australia Chairman Andrew Derbidge brings his Grand Tour of Speyside to Launceston! This will easily be one of the most focused, detailed, and informative whisky masterclasses ever presented in Australia as we embark on a grand tour of Speyside and the River Spey.
We’ll explore the region in depth, looking not just at distilleries, but at the region’s geography, history, people, science, and place in the whisky industry. We’ll also present a wee Speyside travel guide (where to stay, wine, and dine!), and, of course, we’ll be exploring and tasting six diverse whiskies from six very unique Speyside distilleries encompassing different flavour profiles, cask types, and age statements.
The experience includes a two-course dinner at scenic Allida Restaurant at Penny Royal, 6x incredible single-cask, cask-strength Speyside malts hand-selected by Andrew, entertainment, education, giveaways, and a presentation like no other from our very own SMWS Australia Chairman, Andrew Derbidge.
When? Friday, 30th of August 2024 — 6:30pm arrival and 6:45pm start.
Where? Alida Restaurant at Penny Royal, 1 Bridge Rd, Launceston 7250.
