SUMMARY:THE GATHERING: Guess The Whisky Sydney!
DESCRIPTION:THE GATHERING IS BACK THIS SEPTEMBER!\n— \nAfter a huge outing in 2019\, 2020\, 2021\, and 2022\, we’re super excited to bring back The Gathering for 2023 with special Gathering casks\, incredible experiences\, and moments we get to share together around a great dram and company. Join us on this Gathering for 2023 and see how far down the flavour rabbit hole we go!\n\nThe Gathering is a celebration of what makes The Scotch Malt Whisky Society unique. This festival is for all our members\, no matter where they are in the world. Along with access to limited-edition single cask whisky\, they can take part in events in person at SMWS Members’ Rooms\, Partner Bars\, venues and online.​​ \nThe origins of The Gathering date back to September 2013 when we celebrated our 30th anniversary with a party. Now 10 years on\, as we celebrate our 40th anniversary\, we’re inviting our members around the world to come together for our BIGGEST party yet. \n— \nThe Gathering returns to Sydney this September\, but it’s not just the Gathering that’s returning. After an absence of five years\, an old favourite returns: Guess the Whisky!  \nGuess the Whisky was a regular Society event on the Sydney calendar\, held every year or two from 2007 to 2018. So how does it work and what’s on offer? We’ll be presenting and showcasing six of our Gathering whiskies\, but we’ll serve them blind without revealing their order or the cask in question. As the whiskies are presented\, each table forms a team and — with the benefit of multiple choice\, answer sheets\, and our tasting notes to help you — your team attempts to guess each whisky’s key features and characteristics. For example\, you’ll nominate its age and its ABV (both within ranges — don’t worry\, we’re not that precise!)\, its region\, and — for bonus points — the actual cask. \nEach whisky is a new round\, and we’ll unveil whiskies and scores as we go until we reach the end of the night and the winning table (with the highest aggregate score) takes home the prizes and the glory. It’s surprisingly easy\, it’s fun\, it’s informal\, and —best of all — you’ll enjoy some incredible whiskies along the way. And\, for those new to the Society or new to the world of whisky\, we’ll cover off a few of the basics — so come along and feel free to bring a friend or two — members are welcome to bring friends at member prices. \n– \nWhat’s included? \n\n6x Gathering SMWS whiskies being showcased for the first time\nLight supper & welcome dram\nAn amazing night of entertainment and great conviviality\n\nWhen? Friday the 15th of September\, 6:30pm arrival for a 7:00pm start.\nWhere? ISC Room at the RACA\, 89 Macquarie St\, Sydney NSW 2000.\n  \nMembers welcome to bring friends/guests at member prices.
