SUMMARY:At the Chef's Table: Franz Scheurer x Lennox Hastie
DESCRIPTION:Franz Scheurer\, the internationally-acclaimed maestro of matching food to whisky\, returns for yet another SMWS Whisky Dinner\, this time teaming up with none other than Lennox Hastie of both Firedoor and Gildas fame (as well as the Netflix series\, Chef’s Table).\nGildas\, Lennox’s second restaurant in Sydney\, opened in 2022 and earned a Chef’s Hat in its first year. Basque-inspired cuisine from his time in Spain\, it was awarded Two Hats for 2026. Franz and Lennox — two mates in the kitchen from way back — have worked to put a sensational menu together\, combining Lennox’s exceptional cooking\, Franz’s knack for the match\, and curation of our full-flavoured Society whiskies. \nSome members will be familiar with the remarkable flavour pairings that await as they are true pairings\, adopting Franz’s 1+1=3 principle. Four Society whiskies\, a welcome drink\, and paired courses await at this fine-dining experience for the flavour explorer. Limited seats available. \n\n\n\n\n  \nWhen? Tuesday\, June 2\, 6:00pm arrival and start.\nWhere? Gildas; 46-48 Albion St\, Surry Hills NSW 2010.\n  \nPlease note that this is a members-only event. \nUnfortunately\, due to the nature of the event (a fixed pairing experience)\, dietaries cannot be taken into account.

SUMMARY:Adelaide's New Flavour Profile Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Adelaide — it’s time to gather in person and enjoy all eight new Flavour Profiles at Seven Stars Hotel this coming June with your new local Ambassador\, Nirmal Menon!\nFor almost a decade\, the Society’s 12 flavour profiles have influenced the way our members interact with our spirit. Now we see a shift from 12 to 8\, a simplification of flavour to further inform and assist how you interact with society spirit. A flavour evolution! \nJoin us at the familiar Seven Stars Hotel on Wednesday\, June 17\, for a two-course dinner alongside eight Society drams — one from each of the new profiles — where you’ll be able to also write your own tasting notes! An opportunity to get up close and personal with each of the new profiles and really find your own flavour. \nIn tandem\, we’ll also be exploring the newly-designed ‘Signature’ range of Society bottles. These will be replacing ‘Core’ bottlings with some minor\, yet crucial\, design changes as you’ll see. We’re really excited to be bringing these evolved flavours to you! \n \n\nWhen? Wednesday the 17th of June 2026\, 6:30pm arrival for a 7:00pm start.\nWhere? Seven Stars Hotel; 186/187 Angas St\, Adelaide SA 5000.\n  \nMembers are welcome to bring guests at member prices. Non-members are also welcome to attend and learn more about the Society. \n  \nThis will also be the first tasting hosted by the new South Australian Ambassador Nirmal Menon — come along and show your support for your fellow long-term Society member turned Ambassador!

SUMMARY:Peat Plants II at the Launceston Club
DESCRIPTION:The finest peated whisky celebrating Scotland’s West Coast peated character\, live at the Launceston Club for one evening.\n  \nAs some of you may know\, Peat Plants\, two years ago now\, was the first ever Creators Collection to be bottled and released. Now\, we’re excited to bring you the second Peat Plants — PEAT PLANTS II! A series of four releases across our new ‘Bold & Peaty’ and ‘Smoky & Fruity’ Flavour Profiles. \n“This collection celebrates the powerful and medicinal nature of West Coast peat. We have selected a variety of expressions from Islay along with some similarly robust whisky from the Isle of Mull. These phenol-packed casks cover a spectrum from deeply tropical fruit and smoke through to intense carbolic character. There’s so much flavour diversity to be found in this collection\, in both spirit style and cask type. A real celebration of peat.” — Euan Campbell\, Head of Whisky Creation. \nWe are absolutely delighted to be able to present these four whiskies (alongside two welcome drams) to our members and friends at the prestigious and stately Launceston Club this coming July for an exclusive tasting in their private dining room.
