SUMMARY:Christmas Whisky Dinner - Adelaide
DESCRIPTION:Adelaide Christmas Whisky Dinner is here!\nSo far this year we’ve enjoyed ‘Single Malts on East Terrace’\, then explored ‘Fire: the third element’ in the whisky making process\, before uncovering our own hidden investigative abilities most recently in ‘Whisky CSI’. Now it’s time for our Christmas Whisky Dinner at the Rob Roy! \nRelax and celebrate with loved ones\, family and friends\, together with like-minded lovers of the good things – single malts and delicious South Australian produce. In collaboration with the executive chef at our partner bar\, the Rob Roy\, we’ve designed an evening with five exceptional SMWS single cask malts accompanied by four hand crafted courses of food matched to the whiskies. \nNon-whisky drinkers are also welcome with a dinner-only ticket – so for designated drivers or for those who prefer grape to grain\, any other drinks of your choice will be available from the Rob Roy on a cash bar basis purchased directly from the venue. So no reason for anyone to miss out! \nSo please join Alan and me on December 6th – let’s kick off the 2018 festive season and toast the new year.  There will be plenty of festive cheer and festive surprises along the way…! \n6.30pm for a 7.00pm start. Dinner bookings close at the end of November. Hope to see you there! \nJenny Forrest\, SA Manager\nforrest@smws.com.au

SUMMARY:Vaults 1682
DESCRIPTION:Rewind 330 odd years. The year is 1682. The location? The Vaults in Leith\, Edinburgh\, Scotland.\nIt’s an important turning point for The Vaults\, a point in history in fact\, when The Vaults were established as a prominent wine cellar. It’s a site that exists even as far back as the 13th century! Fast forward to 1983 and a man named Pip Hills started The Scotch Malt Whisky Society in these very vaults. Then look to 2002 when John Rourke and Andre Tammes started the Australian chapter of the SMWS out of their love of single cask whisky. Come 2019\, we’re now taking a moment to celebrate that history with one of the most special experiences we’ve ever hosted. \nTake a trip back in time with the Society in what is our oldest and rarest whisky experience in Australia ever. Our National Ambassador has raided some of the rarest ‘paper label’ casks from the Society’s history\, deep within the dusty cabinets of our founding director’s stash\, and we relish the opportunity to create this one-off evening in Sydney. \nOn the night:\n\nWe’ll have our own private dining room at the award-winning Bentley Restaurant in Sydney\nWe’ll be tasting\, enjoying and vigorously discussing 10 x drams from the Society’s ‘paper label’ vintage era\nWe’ll enjoy a full 4-course dinner in between sets of drams at the remarkable Bentley Restaurant\nEveryone attending will leave with their own commemorative historical menu from the night\nThere will be a full presentation from the SMWS team\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Maestro Returns - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to whisky dinners and the art of matching food to whisky\, there is only one person to turn to: Franz Scheurer.\nThe guru who defined and wrote the book on food and whisky matching and has been behind Australia’s most legendary whisky dinners for the last 15 years returns to team up with the Society once more. \n“The Maestro Returns” will see Franz work and collaborate with Brent Savage and his chefs from the entire Bentley Group – that’s Bentley Restaurant & Bar\, Cirrus Dining\, Monopole and Yellow – and prepare a five-course menu with each dish brilliantly matched to a unique Society whisky. Franz works on the principle of 1 + 1 = 3\, meaning that the food will add something to the whisky\, and the whisky will add something to the food. It’s the culinary experience of something being greater than the sum of its parts\, and members who’ve enjoyed our Society Whisky Dinners with Franz in the past (e.g. with Tetsuya\, Neil Perry\, Darren Robertson\, Alessandro Pavoni\, etc.) should move quickly – we have space for 25 diners only. \nThis event is 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start. Hope to see you there! \nAndrew Derbidge\nNSW Manager & Cellarmaster\nderbidge@smws.com.au

SUMMARY:20th Anniversary Of Australia Branch: Brisbane
DESCRIPTION:EXTRA TICKETS RELEASED!\nSMWS Australia Turns 20!\n2002: Andre Tammes & John Rourke started something in Australia that would forever change the landscape of whisky appreciation forever. \nThey brought the world’s leading whisky club\, The Scotch Malt Whisky Society\, to Australia. They toured around the country with a bag of whisky and gauged interest to see whether or not Australians would truly want these rare and delicious malts. \nThe resounding answer was a yes! So\, the plan was hatched to start the branch and bring the full Society experience to Australia. \n  \nJoin us at Brisbane’s premier private club for an intimate and festive evening where spirits will be high (and in glass) to toast the last 20 years of The SMWS Australia branch’s existence. This will be an exclusive event not to be missed and will see your State Ambassador\, Scott Mansfield\, discussing the branch’s history and evolution. \nEach ticket includes a lavish dinner and five drams of Society whisky — including the soon-to-be-announced 20th-anniversary casks — plus a welcome dram. \n  \nWhen? Friday 30th September 2022 — 6:30pm arrival for a 7pm start.\nWhere? The Brisbane Club\, 241 Adelaide Street\, Brisbane QLD 4000\n  \nMembers are welcome to bring guests at member-ticket pricing.
