SUMMARY:The Grand Tour of Speyside Comes Home!
DESCRIPTION:A.D. brings his favourite Society format home to Sydney for an in-depth exploration of Scotland’s Speyside region!\nThe Grand Tour of Speyside is an incredible whisky experience that we first presented in Sydney in 2022. Since then\, we’ve taken it on the road and presented this tasting in Melbourne\, Brisbane\, Canberra\, Wollongong\, Katoomba\, Adelaide\, Perth\, Hobart\, and Launceston. After two years on the road\, we figured it would be fitting for the tour to return back to where it all started: Sydney. Join us for an incredible evening as we undertake a virtual tour of Speyside: We’ll float downstream on the River Spey\, checking out the scenery\, the people\, the villages\, the attractions\, the accommodation\, the activities\, and — of course — the distilleries along the way. \nIn fact\, we’ll taste no less than seven Speyside malts\, with an accompanying light supper\, as we explore the area in detail. If you’ve never been to Scotland\, you’ll leave this event feeling like you know all corners of the Speyside region. \n“Of the hundreds of tastings I’ve hosted for the Society over the last 20 years\, this is hands-down my favourite…” — Andrew Derbidge. \nPlease join our Chairman and NSW Ambassador Andrew Derbidge for a night of fun\, flavour\, and exploration. \n  \nWhen? Thursday\, 31 October 2024 — 6:15pm arrival and 6:30pm start.\nWhere? The Oak Barrel\, 152 Elizabeth St\, Sydney NSW 2000.\n  \nMembers are welcome to bring guests at member prices. Non-members are also encouraged to come along and see what the Society is all about.
