SUMMARY:Official Launch of the 15th Anniversary Cask for Australia - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:In our humble opinion\, milestones are exactly that. Points in history where we get to stop\, take a look back at what we’ve done\, and celebrate the future at the same time. 2017 is the 15th Anniversary of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society Australian branch\, and what a ride it’s been so far. To celebrate\, we’re formally releasing a 15 year old single cask\, cask strength\, single malt\, specially picked out by our Cellarmaster\, Andrew Derbidge. This special bottling is in itself a milestone\, a time capsule\, and at the same time is a truly delicious sherry cask to boot. \nWe’d like to invite you to join us in celebrating this milestone of fifteen years of changing the whisky landscape in Australia on Wednesday 30th August\, 2017\, with Andrew\, Suzy\, Andre and myself. Enjoy a welcome cocktail crafted by Shirt Bar Barangaroo’s own Jordan Blackman\, a dram from the distillery\, then a dram of our exclusive single cask. Bottle orders for this remarkable cask will be accepted on the night. Light supper provided and a proper social evening for all. Exclusive to SMWS Members\, their Partner and Members’ Guests. \nThis is the Society\, this is 15 years\, join us! \nMatt Bailey\nSMWS National Ambassador

SUMMARY:An Evening with Martin Markvardsen from Highland Park Distillery - Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:The Viking from Orkney\, the man with Highland Park literally tattooed on his chest\, is presenting ONE special evening with the Society: Tuesday 3rd October in Melbourne. \nHighland Park for me is one of those truly remarkable distilleries that was absolutely a ‘gateway’ single malt in my formative whisky years of discovering great spirit. In 2004\, Michael Jackson\, the whisky writer\, not the self-styled King of Pop\, declared it to be ‘the greatest all-rounder’ among single malts\, a comment that I wholeheartedly agree with. \nAs any members of the SMWS who have been to one of our renowned distillery-focus evenings can attest to\, there’s something truly magical about our distillery-focus nights\, being able to share a dram in a welcoming space with someone directly involved in the day-to-day of the distillery. For our Highland Park focus\, we’d like to invite you to share a few special drams with Martin Markvardsen\, the Senior Brand Ambassador direct from the distillery\, to explore the new core range\, a preview taste of a new special release\, and then two yet-to-be-released casks from this distillery from the Society. As a Melbourne exclusive\, the Society bottlings will be available to order on the night. \nA light supper of cheese and charcuterie will be served at the tasting\, but you are more than welcome to stay after and enjoy the full menu at the venue. For this special event we’ve secured the stunning Archer Room at The Botanical in South Yarra. A remarkable space for remarkable whisky! \nCome along and meet Martin\, share some new release and rare Highland Park spirit\, and make the most of being a member of the world’s best whisky club\, the SMWS! \nSlainte\,\nMatt Bailey\nNational Ambassador

SUMMARY:An Evening with The Cellarmaster - Adelaide
DESCRIPTION:October sees the arrival of a new and exciting shipment from Scotland\, which means it’s the perfect time to showcase some new whiskies.   Join us for a rare and special night with the Society’s Cellarmaster\, as Andrew Derbidge takes us through a wonderful journey around Scotland and its whiskies. \nAndrew has picked out a few goodies off the boat that will be showcased exclusively in Adelaide before anyone else in the country knows they even exist.  And he’ll also feature one or two bottlings off October’s Outturn\, and perhaps even a sneak peek at a bottle or two that will appear on the bumper November/December Christmas Outturn.  Andrew’s tastings are always fun\, entertaining\, and incredibly informative – so bring along your whisky friends and we’ll settle in for a great evening together. \n6.30pm welcome dram for a 7.00pm start. \nWe look forward to seeing you on the night. \nJenny Forrest\, SA Manager\nforrest@smws.com.au

SUMMARY:Single Malt & Single Origin Sourdough - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:Over the last 10 years\, we’ve held some serious whisky matching events.  We’ve paired and matched our Society whiskies to chocolate\, beer\, cheese\, coffee\, and – of course – the cooking and dishes of some Australia’s best and most recognised chefs. \nWhisky is made from cereal grain\, and there’s another staple product that shares a common heritage:  Bread!   So what happens when you match single malt whisky with single origin grain bread?   It’s time to find out! \nJoin us for an incredible culinary evening as we match and pair a diverse range of Society whiskies with the exceptional single origin flour breads of Brasserie Bread. Brasserie Bread is arguably Australia’s best artisan baker\, supplying top quality and award-winning breads to the top restaurants\, cafes\, and outlets of Sydney\, Melbourne and Brisbane.   They are one of the few bakers to make bread using only single origin wheat that can be traced back to the source.   (Most commercial flours are milled and blended for consistency).   Their premises at Banksmeadow also runs and holds brilliant baking classes and a sensational café.    We’ll be supplying their bakers with a number of our whiskies (including a grain whisky and a peated whisky) and let them work their magic as they create and pair breads for the perfect match. \nIn addition to enjoying the delicious breads\, a supper will be provided on the night\, and all attendees will also take home a little goodie bag with a special artisan loaf inside to enjoy the next day! \nPlease note the evening is being held at the bakery at Banksmeadow and public transport options are limited.  We’ve pushed the arrival time back by 15 minutes\, but please allow sufficient time for your travels.  Taxi or Uber might be your best bet\, or take the 309 or X09 bus from Central Station. 6.45pm arrival for a 7.15pm start. \nThis event is strictly limited to just 35 people\, so book in quickly to avoid disappointment.   I look forward to breaking bread with you on the night! \nSlainte\, \nAndrew Derbidge\nCellarmaster & NSW Manager \n

SUMMARY:Guess the Whisky - Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:One of our most popular tasting events is coming to Melbourne – Guess the Whisky!  And\, with the Australian Malt Whisky Tasting Championship coming up later in the year\, what better time to return to this hilarious and entertaining evening? \nSo how does it work and what’s on offer? We’ll be presenting and showcasing five of our latest whiskies – some off the latest Outturn\, and some that have never before been seen or released in Australia. As the whiskies are presented\, each table forms a team and – with the benefit of multiple choice answer sheets and the tasting notes to help you – your team attempts to guess each whisky’s features and characteristics. For example\, its age\, its ABV (both within ranges – don’t worry\, we’re not that precise!)\, its region\, and – for bonus points – the actual cask. Each 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. \nWe’ll be hosting this fun night at The Archer Room at The Botanical and every guest will get their own light supper/cheese platter alongside their drams! \nIt’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. \nWelcome dram from 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start. \nSlainte\, \nMatt Bailey\nNational Ambassador

SUMMARY:SMWS Boilermakers: Wayward x SMWS Collaboration - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Society is proud to announce yet another exciting collaboration for our next Sydney gathering: SMWS Boilermakers with Wayward Brewing Co! Wayward Brewing are a craft beer staple of the Sydney brewing scene and we’re proud to collaborate with them for this event exploring five of their fine beers\, one of which isn’t even commercially available yet! \nJoin us at the Royal Automobile Club for an evening that celebrates how barley\, yeast\, and water (and occasionally hops!) can combine to make magic! \nWe’ll be showcasing a line up of Society whiskies\, each one specifically matched and paired to a unique Wayward Brewing beer. Whisky & beer? It’s a Boilermaker!! Just like our whisky dinners or our whisky pairing nights (cheese\, chocolate\, coffee\, bread)\, we’ll explore how the matched beer brings out and highlights the features of the whisky\, and also how the whisky impacts and accentuates the malt and hops of the beer. We’ll explore both light and dark ales and match them with a diverse range of Society whiskies that cover the spectrum of floral\, grassy\, malty\, sweet\, citrus\, smoke\, and peat! Subject to his availability on the night\, we hope to have the brewer on hand to talk us through the beers and how they go about their craft at the brewery. \nA delicious light supper is included. All welcome! 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start. \nAndrew Derbidge\nNSW Manager & Cellarmaster

SUMMARY:The Australian Malt Whisky Tasting Championship 2018
DESCRIPTION:The Champs are back for 2018!\nYou’ve possibly seen it in Outturn\, you might have bumped into me talking about it already\, but the rumours are true: the Australian Malt Whisky Tasting Championship is back in 2018 after a massive 2016. \nFor those new to the format\, it’s ridiculously simple: we give you a list of nine whiskies\, you sit down in front of eight whiskies\, and in the space of precisely 30 minutes\, you have to match them up! No SMWS or limited-edition single malts are used\, all the whiskies are commercially available\, and are all malt whiskies (single and/or blended malts). The person who guesses them correctly wins 1st prize\, which will be revealed soon\, and the honour and bragging rights of being the whisky champion of Australia. For reference sake\, last year we sent the winner on an all-expenses paid trip to Japan to visit and stay at our Park Hotel Partner Bar… that’s how big it is…. \nThe Champs have been running in Australia now since 1989 almost every second year like clockwork\, and the SMWS took over the operation of the format back in 2002. A big fun night out\, it’s also a fun way for guests to dress up\, taste whisky\, be given the answer sheet where your task is to work out the correct order\, then party into the night afterwards! \nIn 2016 at Madame Tussauds in Sydney\, thanks to the special support of The Oak Barrel and the SMWS\, some serious prizes were on offer\, the after-party was just as important as the Championship itself\, with special support from William Grant & Sons with their Glenfiddich Bar\, the SMWS Single Cask Bar\, the Sydney Cocktail Club Sensory Bar\, Gage Roads Brewery serving fresh from the tap\, and the Dane Laboyrie Quartet got the crowd dancing! All included in the ticket price. \nThe Prizes on offer for 2018 are:\n1st Prize: A double return airfare to the Vaults in Scotland complete with private bespoke tasting at the Vaults!\n2nd Prize: A Cask Strength Survival Kit comprising of a rare Society bottle AND a hand-signed Balvenie 21 PortWood from David Stewart himself!\n3rd Prize: A huge $750 store credit to The Oak Barrel in Sydney. \nTaste whisky\, win experiences\, and have fun doing it. It’s not a serious nose-deep-in-the-glass kind of night\, it’s a lighthearted championship with some heavy prizes on offer to be announced soon. For 2018\, we’ll be in No.1 William at the Australia Museum right in Sydney city\, on Saturday 28th July 2018. \nTickets will be released as follows: \nSMWS Member/Partner Competitor Ticket: $139 (Available from 9th March until 6th April)\nSpectator Party Ticket: $99 (Non-competing party-only ticket)\nSpecial rate for SMWS Group of 4: $499\nSpecial rate for SMWS Table of 10: $1\,250 \nMembers have one week first dibs on competition tickets!\n\nGeneral Release Competitor Ticket (Non-Members – All Welcome): $149 (Available from 6th April) \nGo to: www.amwtc-smws.com for full details. \nBelow is the pre-list of fifty (50) malt whiskies for the Whisky Champs this Saturday. Eight (8) of which will be in front of you come this Saturday\, plus the one red herring! Full rules here. All age statements included below. Any whisky not carrying an age statement is assumed a ‘no age statement’ whisky (NAS) and isn’t labeled accordingly.
