SUMMARY:Guess the Whisky - Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:One of our most popular tasting events is coming to Melbourne – Guess the Whisky!  And\, with the Australian Malt Whisky Tasting Championship coming up later in the year\, what better time to return to this hilarious and entertaining evening? \nSo how does it work and what’s on offer? We’ll be presenting and showcasing five of our latest whiskies – some off the latest Outturn\, and some that have never before been seen or released in Australia. As the whiskies are presented\, each table forms a team and – with the benefit of multiple choice answer sheets and the tasting notes to help you – your team attempts to guess each whisky’s features and characteristics. For example\, its age\, its ABV (both within ranges – don’t worry\, we’re not that precise!)\, its region\, and – for bonus points – the actual cask. Each whisky is a new round\, and we’ll unveil whiskies and scores as we go until we reach the end of the night and the winning table (with the highest aggregate score) takes home the prizes and the glory. \nWe’ll be hosting this fun night at The Archer Room at The Botanical and every guest will get their own light supper/cheese platter alongside their drams! \nIt’s surprisingly easy\, it’s fun\, it’s informal\, and – best of all – you’ll enjoy some incredible whiskies along the way. And\, for those new to the Society or new to the world of whisky\, we’ll cover off a few of the basics – so come along and feel free to bring a friend or two. \nWelcome dram from 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start. \nSlainte\, \nMatt Bailey\nNational Ambassador

SUMMARY:A French Affair – SMWS Cognac & Armagnac Dinner - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:**Please note – this event has been rescheduled from April 9th to May 9th**\nAfter too long between meals\, we’re back on the menu with what might be our most incredible and exciting Society dinner yet! Unlike any SMWS whisky dinner before it\, this dinner will be a Scotch Malt Whisky Society “French Affair”\, featuring some of the finest French spirits you’re likely to encounter in a single sitting. \nYou’ll be aware that the Society has been busy bottling single casks of cask-strength Cognac and Armagnac for some time. What you would not have been aware of is that we’ve been carefully stashing aside some bottles of each spectacular release for this very event! Our dinner will feature a five course meal\, with each course specifically matched by the chef to the following exceptional Society spirits: \nC1 – “Nectar Celeste” from Ile de Re; released by the Society in 2016 at a Members’ price of $349 and long since sold out.\nC2.1 – “Exquisitely polished” from Domaine de Chez Guerive\, Petit Champagne; released by the Society in 2017 at a Members’ price of $230.\nC3.1 – “A fragrant ramble” from Domaine du Menis\, Grande Champagne; one of the rarest and oldest single casks of Cognac on earth\, released by the Society in 2018 at a Members’ price of $695.\nC4.1 – “A tantalising tightrope” from Distillery d’Aumagne\, Fins Bois; released by the Society in 2017 at a Members’ price of $270.\nA3.1 – “Gravitas and Sophistication” – a 30yo Armagnac not yet released by the Society in Australia\, with a Members’ price of $395. \nThese five incredible French spirits are rare and special enough\, although the more observant amongst you may also have noticed that they’re all “dot ones” – that is\, the first Society cask bottled from each respective distillery! The mere chance to taste C3.1 alone makes this event a “not to be missed” evening. \nOur dinner will be held at Brasserie l’Entrecote – a new and exciting French restaurant on Sydney’s north shore that has already been turning heads and garnering high accolades. Your ticket price includes a welcome dram on arrival; the incredible five course dinner with matching French spirits; and all service costs. Diners are also welcome to purchase additional wine/beer/soft drinks from the restaurant on a consumption basis. We will have exclusive use of a private room in the restaurant on the night. \nLike all Society Dinners before it\, this event will book out and there is space for just 30 diners only so book in now! All welcome. \nI look forward to dining with you on the night! \nAndrew Derbidge\nCellarmaster & NSW Manager

SUMMARY:SMWS Boilermakers: Wayward x SMWS Collaboration - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Society is proud to announce yet another exciting collaboration for our next Sydney gathering: SMWS Boilermakers with Wayward Brewing Co! Wayward Brewing are a craft beer staple of the Sydney brewing scene and we’re proud to collaborate with them for this event exploring five of their fine beers\, one of which isn’t even commercially available yet! \nJoin us at the Royal Automobile Club for an evening that celebrates how barley\, yeast\, and water (and occasionally hops!) can combine to make magic! \nWe’ll be showcasing a line up of Society whiskies\, each one specifically matched and paired to a unique Wayward Brewing beer. Whisky & beer? It’s a Boilermaker!! Just like our whisky dinners or our whisky pairing nights (cheese\, chocolate\, coffee\, bread)\, we’ll explore how the matched beer brings out and highlights the features of the whisky\, and also how the whisky impacts and accentuates the malt and hops of the beer. We’ll explore both light and dark ales and match them with a diverse range of Society whiskies that cover the spectrum of floral\, grassy\, malty\, sweet\, citrus\, smoke\, and peat! Subject to his availability on the night\, we hope to have the brewer on hand to talk us through the beers and how they go about their craft at the brewery. \nA delicious light supper is included. All welcome! 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start. \nAndrew Derbidge\nNSW Manager & Cellarmaster

SUMMARY:The Australian Malt Whisky Tasting Championship 2018
DESCRIPTION:The Champs are back for 2018!\nYou’ve possibly seen it in Outturn\, you might have bumped into me talking about it already\, but the rumours are true: the Australian Malt Whisky Tasting Championship is back in 2018 after a massive 2016. \nFor those new to the format\, it’s ridiculously simple: we give you a list of nine whiskies\, you sit down in front of eight whiskies\, and in the space of precisely 30 minutes\, you have to match them up! No SMWS or limited-edition single malts are used\, all the whiskies are commercially available\, and are all malt whiskies (single and/or blended malts). The person who guesses them correctly wins 1st prize\, which will be revealed soon\, and the honour and bragging rights of being the whisky champion of Australia. For reference sake\, last year we sent the winner on an all-expenses paid trip to Japan to visit and stay at our Park Hotel Partner Bar… that’s how big it is…. \nThe Champs have been running in Australia now since 1989 almost every second year like clockwork\, and the SMWS took over the operation of the format back in 2002. A big fun night out\, it’s also a fun way for guests to dress up\, taste whisky\, be given the answer sheet where your task is to work out the correct order\, then party into the night afterwards! \nIn 2016 at Madame Tussauds in Sydney\, thanks to the special support of The Oak Barrel and the SMWS\, some serious prizes were on offer\, the after-party was just as important as the Championship itself\, with special support from William Grant & Sons with their Glenfiddich Bar\, the SMWS Single Cask Bar\, the Sydney Cocktail Club Sensory Bar\, Gage Roads Brewery serving fresh from the tap\, and the Dane Laboyrie Quartet got the crowd dancing! All included in the ticket price. \nThe Prizes on offer for 2018 are:\n1st Prize: A double return airfare to the Vaults in Scotland complete with private bespoke tasting at the Vaults!\n2nd Prize: A Cask Strength Survival Kit comprising of a rare Society bottle AND a hand-signed Balvenie 21 PortWood from David Stewart himself!\n3rd Prize: A huge $750 store credit to The Oak Barrel in Sydney. \nTaste whisky\, win experiences\, and have fun doing it. It’s not a serious nose-deep-in-the-glass kind of night\, it’s a lighthearted championship with some heavy prizes on offer to be announced soon. For 2018\, we’ll be in No.1 William at the Australia Museum right in Sydney city\, on Saturday 28th July 2018. \nTickets will be released as follows: \nSMWS Member/Partner Competitor Ticket: $139 (Available from 9th March until 6th April)\nSpectator Party Ticket: $99 (Non-competing party-only ticket)\nSpecial rate for SMWS Group of 4: $499\nSpecial rate for SMWS Table of 10: $1\,250 \nMembers have one week first dibs on competition tickets!\n\nGeneral Release Competitor Ticket (Non-Members – All Welcome): $149 (Available from 6th April) \nGo to: www.amwtc-smws.com for full details. \nBelow is the pre-list of fifty (50) malt whiskies for the Whisky Champs this Saturday. Eight (8) of which will be in front of you come this Saturday\, plus the one red herring! Full rules here. All age statements included below. Any whisky not carrying an age statement is assumed a ‘no age statement’ whisky (NAS) and isn’t labeled accordingly.
