That’s right, for the first time in AMWTC’s 36-year history, the Whisky Champs will be held in Melbourne City. We’ve teamed up with the Grand Hyatt and will be taking over two distinct spaces for the competition portion and afterparty, ensuring the 19th of July to be an unforgettable evening for all involved.
The Australian Malt Whisky Tasting Championship (AMWTC) is Australia’s longest-running whisky championship, starting in 1989, and running to today. It’s a huge night with a tasting competition that will see someone crowned the champ. Huge prizes, huge night, and all drinks and food included with every ticket.
On the night, you sit down in front of eight core-range malt whiskies, we give you the answers plus one red herring, and then you pick out which one is which within 30 minutes. Easy enough! Then we party into the night with the SMWS single cask bar, cocktail bar, and more…
Can you tell the difference between a Bruichladdich and a Balvenie? How about between a Springbank and a Starward? If so, test, tempt, and delight your senses at the biggest whisky competition in Australia as the Australian Malt Whisky Tasting Championship is back for a huge, fun night in 2025.
Unlike any other competition on earth, this momentous event will see someone crowned the Australian Malt Whisky Tasting Champion based on their sensory prowess. Will you be Australia’s next whisky champ?
We’ll once again be partnering with Humanitix for the ticketing as 100% of their booking fee profits are donated to charities. In 2023, we were pleased to have reached $1,565,13 in donations towards various charities. You can read more about Humanitix’s partner charities here.
Tickets will go on sale Monday, April 7, at midday AEDT via Humanitix.com.
