Since then\, we’ve released Peat Faerie\, Old Fashioned\, Beachcomber and others. To celebrate this history\, at the very location where we launched Exotic Cargo to begin\, we’ll be opening ALL the heresy history in this one-off event for members of the SMWS + guests. Take a trip back in time with Heresy History as part of our August ‘Flavour Invasion’ time travel Outturn! Tickets strictly limited to allow for social distancing. \nFriday 21 August 7pm start\, Archie Rose Distillery\, 85 Dunning Ave\, Rosebery NSW. Members\, guests\, partners welcome.

SUMMARY:The Dot Ones
DESCRIPTION:THE DOT ONES\n\n\n \n\n\nThroughout the history of the world’s most unique whisky club\, the Scotch Malt Whisky Society\, we’ve been pushing the boundary of innovation\, of surprises\, of panel-approved casks of whisky. \n\n\n \n\n\nIn the last 4 years we’ve had a welcome flurry of ‘dot one’ casks representing the first ever release from that distillery for the Society\, and in many cases the first time that distillery has ever released an independent bottling. This is where the SMWS excels: pushing the envelope\, challenging the norm\, and creating incredible first moments in history. \n\n\n \n\n\nThankfully\, we’ve been tucking away a few rarities from the recent history of first releases\, and we’re opening them all on one night only with your national ambassador Matt Bailey.\n\n\n \n\n\nSingle cask\, cask strength\, panel-approved whiskies from Scotland\, Japan\, India\, America\, Taiwan & Sweden. Maximum 33 x guests\, the ISC room at the RAC awaits us on Friday 6 November\, 6:30pm for a 7pm start sharp. Tickets will be made available to members & guests/partners of members of the SMWS first and foremost\, then non-member tickets after one week.\n\n\n \n\n\nTickets for members go on sale this Friday 16 October along with our mid-month offer.

SUMMARY:Winter warming Boilermaker Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Boilermakers are back!\nOur next tasting is made in heaven! We are excited to present an evening of not only five of our great Society single cask whiskies\, but also an opportunity to match them to a hand picked range of craft beers.  \nAccording to Alan\, he’s been doing research in this field for many years\, sacrificing several hours each week in the exploration of breweries\, malts and hops in an effort to discover flavours and aromas of beers worthy of our event. I can’t say I blame him . . . pairings of beer and whisky have been a popular activity by many. Our Society members interstate have been party to boilermaker tastings in the past. Well now it’s South Australia’s turn. \n\n\n\nYou’re familiar with the wash or beer produced in the distilling of whisky. During this event we’ll spend some time and energy indulging in some wide ranging craft beers alongside our amazing whiskies. We’ll answer your questions\, tantilise your tastebuds\, get you thinking and above all have some fun exploring the craft and dark arts of some of life’s pleasures. \n\n\n\nThis is definitely not a night to be driving yourself! Please arrange some transport home afterwards. A delicious supper will be offered\, but remember it will be a night of beer AND whisky. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to seeing you on Friday 25 June\, 2021\, 6.00 for 6.30pm. Take note there is no lift/accessible access to the venue.\n\n\n\nSlainte\, \nJenny Forrest\nSA Manager

SUMMARY:In Search Of The Flying Haggis!
DESCRIPTION:In Search Of The Flying Haggis!\n\nThe Loch Ness monster\, Edinburgh Castle\, ‘hairy coos’ and whisky are all well known Scottish icons. One of the lesser known ones is the Flying Haggis. \n\nIn search of this elusive flying creature\, let us take you on a sensory journey through Scotland visiting six* whisky distilleries – yes six distilleries – along the way.\n\nIt’s rumoured these strange\, and some say mythical\, flying haggis creatures\, congregate where the sweet smell of malted barley and spirit vapours fill the air. Maybe there are no angels; maybe the loss from sleeping oak casks lies with the Flying Haggis? We’ll see if we can discover the truth – we’ve got plenty of drams to savour and many miles to travel on our armchair journey.\n\nLet us take you through deep glens\, past brooding lochs and swift\, tumbling rivers\, through hedgerows and fields\, ancient castles and stone ruins\, lush gardens\, steep munroes and bustling villages. Come with us to unravel the mystery\, enjoy some fabulous single cask malts and a delicious supper. You never know\, if we’re lucky\, we may even capture a Flying Haggis!\n\nFriday 10 September 2021\n6 for 6.30pm start\n\nUpstairs Function Room\nThe Gilbert Street Hotel\n88 Gilbert Street\nAdelaide SA 5000\n\nTickets $85 for members\, partners and their guests / $115 for non-members\n\nNB: All SMWS events are subject to change\, cancel or reschedule based on government advice for restrictions and lockdowns.
