SUMMARY:Whisky Tasting - Adelaide
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to 2017 – a year of promise. \nIt’s sure to be a fantastic year as far as the Society goes. The offerings lined up promise more unique whisky delights than you can poke a stick at! \nIn Adelaide\, Mad March approaches rapidly\, so we decided your spirits (both literally and metaphorically) may need to be bolstered. So we are inviting you to share an indulgent insight into some rather rare and special whiskies in the SMWS cellar for 2017. \nYou want flavour? We’ve got it. You want rarity? We’ve got it. You want convivial company? We’ve got that in abundance. You want an escape to green rolling hills with dusky slopes of fragrant heather and hairy coos grazing? We’ve got that too! And if you fancy a challenge\, then maybe rugged coasts\, a large salmon fighting your line\, a breathless scrabble to the rocky summit of a Munro and the reek of peat smoke are more to your liking? Our whiskies offer that too. \nBut maybe you just want to savour a dram or two with some dark chocolate from the comfort of your favourite chair\, before heading out into the Adelaide streets for Mad March activities? \nWhatever your plans\, just book your seat for our next Whisky tasting on Friday 17 February\, 2017 at the Public Schools Club. You’d be mad if you didn’t. All welcome! \nSlainte!\nJenny Forrest\, SA Manager\n0409 540704 | forrest@smws.com.au

SUMMARY:Let's get back to basics - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:In the last 12 months\, the Society in Sydney has held all manner of new and exciting events.  As we kick off our calendar of events for 2017\, it occurred to us that it’s actually been a long time since we last held a good\, ol’ fashioned\, traditional whisky tasting and masterclass. \nJoin us on March 10th as we go back to basics and present a tasting masterclass.  We’ll showcase a stunning array of Society whiskies featuring all-new selections and releases not seen before in Australia.   Whilst open to everyone\, this event is aimed at newer members who may have joined the Society in the last 6-12 months.  There will be a small but fun educational side to the evening as we cover off what makes Society bottlings so special.  Those who think they “know” whisky might be in for a surprise!   Light supper included.  Friends and guests welcome! \nSlainte mhath\, \nAndrew Derbidge\nSMWS Cellarmaster

SUMMARY:An Evening with Glen Moray - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:An Evening with Glen Moray: Take a journey to Speyside with our Ambassador. \nIt’s so rare that we are blessed with such a depth of range at one time from one single distillery\, so we decided to open one of every expression for this Member exclusive event and fully explore all the flavour from these special casks for one evening only at the Royal Automobile Club\, Sydney. Situated on the River Lossie right in the heart of the Speyside region in Elgin\, while Glen Moray Distillery might not carry the same superstar status of the big brands that surround it\, there’s no doubting the remarkable spirit character it produces.  Never in the history of Society ’35’ casks have we seen such diversity of character and such exciting depth of catalogue from so many unique casks. \nWe hope you can join us for this intimate and exploratory evening with a special message from the distillery for our members. From refill hogsheads to first fill Chenin Blanc barrels\, there’s a cask and flavour profile for everyone in this bunch\, including a few surprises along the way. \nSix Society Glen Moray drams\, a welcome dram on arrival\, and light supper provided. 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start on Thursday 27th April. \nStrictly limited places for this Member event. Members may bring their Partner and/or one Guest. \nAnd yes\, as always\, first in\, best dressed!

SUMMARY:Winter Whisky Tasting - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:We’ve had so many new and different tasting events this year\, and we’re already more than half way through winter!  So\, whilst the weather is still cold and the drams taste that much better\, we felt we should round off the season with a Winter Whisky Tasting.  With the emphasis on tasting… \nWe’ll be showcasing a deliberate range of whiskies for this event:  Some off the new August Outturn; maybe some sneak peeks of what will appear on the September Outturn; and also a few special whiskies we have in such small quantities that they’re unlikely to ever be featured on an Outturn!  It will be an eclectic\, yet extremely delicious line up.  A more “social” tasting rather than a tutored masterclass\, we’ll simply showcase a great range of Society drams and let the whiskies do the talking.  (Don’t worry – we’ll announce each whisky and share the full story and details about each distillery and the cask).  This is definitely an event to bring your friends to if you’ve always wanted to share the joys of SMWS whisky. \nAs always\, a light supper will be served.  6.30pm (welcome dram) for a 7.00pm start. And\, as always\, places are limited\, so please book early to avoid disappointment. \nGreat whisky needs company – hope to see you there! \nSlainte\,\nAndrew Derbidge\nSMWS Cellarmaster

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
