SUMMARY:The Maestro Returns - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to whisky dinners and the art of matching food to whisky\, there is only one person to turn to: Franz Scheurer.\nThe guru who defined and wrote the book on food and whisky matching and has been behind Australia’s most legendary whisky dinners for the last 15 years returns to team up with the Society once more. \n“The Maestro Returns” will see Franz work and collaborate with Brent Savage and his chefs from the entire Bentley Group – that’s Bentley Restaurant & Bar\, Cirrus Dining\, Monopole and Yellow – and prepare a five-course menu with each dish brilliantly matched to a unique Society whisky. Franz works on the principle of 1 + 1 = 3\, meaning that the food will add something to the whisky\, and the whisky will add something to the food. It’s the culinary experience of something being greater than the sum of its parts\, and members who’ve enjoyed our Society Whisky Dinners with Franz in the past (e.g. with Tetsuya\, Neil Perry\, Darren Robertson\, Alessandro Pavoni\, etc.) should move quickly – we have space for 25 diners only. \nThis event is 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start. Hope to see you there! \nAndrew Derbidge\nNSW Manager & Cellarmaster\nderbidge@smws.com.au

SUMMARY:Old School: A Whisky Masterclass - Canberra
DESCRIPTION:Old School: A whisky masterclass with Andrew Derbidge\, the Society’s Cellarmaster\nIn the last few years\, the Society has strived to present new and innovative whisky events. In fact\, at the risk of blowing our own trumpet\, the Society has led the way in Australia with how whisky tastings are presented. The category never stands still\, and we’ve explored and curated all manner of whisky tasting events in recent years that have involved expo-style tastings\, food pairings\, beer pairings\, dessert pairings\, coffee pairings\, music pairings\, restaurants\, pubs\, breweries\, distilleries\, and even cruises on the water! \nBut what about a good ol’ fashioned tasting event? What if we did things……old school ?\nReturning to Canberra for the first time in six years\, the Society’s Cellarmaster\, Andrew Derbidge\, will present the ultimate old school whisky masterclass in his inimitable style: A presentation of some delicious\, old school whiskies; tales & stories from Scotland; some fun history and education about whisky and the distilleries being explored on the night; and a detailed culinary and visual tour of each whisky as we carefully analyse and assess the spirit. If you’ve ever wanted to improve your tasting skills and general knowledge about whisky and its appreciation\, this is an event you’ll get plenty out of. And did we mention delicious\, cask-strength\, single malt\, single cask whiskies? \nIf you’re a long-term whisky drinker and you remember how tastings were presented 15 years ago\, or if you’re newer to whisky and want to experience a masterclass done right\, Old School will be right up your alley: A selection of old school whiskies\, presented by an old school host\, and delivered old school style. \nAll whiskies\, supper\, and entertainment included in the ticket. Wednesday 20th November 2019 at the iconic National Press Club of Australia\, 16 National Circuit\, Barton. Members\, partners and guests of members welcome at member rates. Non-members also welcome – the more the merrier! \n6pm welcome dram for a 6.30pm start.

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!

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.
