SUMMARY:The Gathering: Sydney
DESCRIPTION:What is the Gathering?\nIt’s a global Society evening being hosted in as many cities and towns around the world as possible with the idea harking back to the Scottish meaning of the word ‘Gathering’: a bringing together of people who shared common ancestry\, lands\, and a leader. A gathering was more than just a family reunion\, it was also a celebration. It’s the perfect term to describe a coming together of those whose passion and commonality is whisky. We have some special casks just landed for the Gathering events\, one cask of which is strictly a by-the-dram only serve. This particular cask has been shared with all SMWS branches worldwide for a truly global club gathering all enjoying the same amazing celebratory dram just for this occasion. And it’s from distillery 33! \nThe Gathering Sydney is coming to to Sydney as a full hosted masterclass in the iconic Royal Automobile Club Macquarie Room\, for a full festive evening of special casks\, special presentation from our national ambassador\, and light supper provided. \nFriday 27th September\, 6.30pm for a 7:00pm start. \nDon’t miss this one…
