SUMMARY:Unusual Pairings in Perth
DESCRIPTION:March Outturn is all about unusual pairings. Whisky paired with things you otherwise wouldn’t have considered. Pairings that will shock\, delight\, surprise\, and take you on a new or even absurd flavour journey.\nAfter some serious hype and two sold out tastings in Melbourne\,\, we’re bringing the pairings in food like no other to the West Coast. Each of the five whiskies we taste will pair with a food that we’ve carefully selected to match up\, maybe in ways you might not have considered… \nWe promise this will be a rollercoaster of incredible eye-opening pairings; new single-cask whiskies\, and surprising foods to tantalise your senses. Join us on Thursday\, March 21st for this wild ride\, and see how far down the flavour rabbit hole we can go! \n  \nWhen? Thursday\, 21st of March 2024 — 6:00pm arrival for a 6:30pm start.\nWhere? Terrarium Bar\, 99 St Georges Terrace (Howards St Entrance)\, Perth WA 6000.\n  \nPlease note that whilst every effort will be made to cater for dietary requirements\, we cannot make any guarantees given the wide gamut of flavours on taste. This is a members-only experience\, exclusive to members of the SMWS. No non-member tickets are available. Members are welcome\, however\, to book up to one extra ticket for a guest.
