Every year, the five Scotch Whisky regions celebrate the spirit of their own flavours. The Society is uniquely positioned to be able to celebrate all five regions at once; but as Scotch Whisky evolves, we at the SMWS have to ask: do the regions really matter? There’s only one way to find out!
This year in Launceston, your Ambassador Tom Rofe brings you back to the Brisbane Street Bistro for a brilliant three-course meal alongside a selection of six of our incredible 2026 Festival Creators Collection malts. A premium three-course meal with five of the 2026 SMWS Festival Creators Collection bottlings — one from each region, with an additional five-region blend to welcome you to the evening.
Celebrate this year’s Scotch Whisky Festivals in gracious style alongside your fellow Lonnie SMWS members, soak in the flavours of Scotland and what makes each region unique, or, maybe be surprised at something you weren’t quite expecting…
When? Saturday, August 22; 5:45pm arrival for a 6pm start.
Where? Brisbane Street Bistro; 24 Brisbane Street, Launceston TAS 7250.
What? 6x SMWS 2026 Festivals Creators Collection drams (five single casks + a welcome dram) and a three-course dinner.
Members are welcome to purchase member-rate tickets for guests, non-members are also welcome to attend.
