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.

SUMMARY:SMWS x Kaiju! Boilermaker Night (2) – Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:2nd night added by popular demand! \nOur first evening of Kaiju! Boilermakers in collaboration with the Melbourne Whisky Room sold out so fast that we’re adding a second night: \nIn a collaboration set to stun palates\, we’re proud to announce a very special collaboration between The Scotch Malt Whisky Society\, Melbourne Whisky Room\, and the very full-flavoured Kaiju! Brewery for one night only… \nA ‘boilermaker’ is traditionally a working-class knock-off drink of local lager and a shot of cheap whisky to follow. What happens when we take the most rigorously panel-approved single casks from the SMWS and expertly pair them with a range of bombastic full-flavoured beers from Kaiju! Brewery\, at the marvellous Melbourne Whisky Room to find flavour nirvana for one night only with only the best ingredients? I guess we’ll find out! \n5 x unique never-before seen SMWS single cask whiskies\, 5 x expertly-paired beers from Victorian brewery Kaiju!\, plus some light snacks\, for just $89 members\, partner and guests of members\, $119 non-members. 6.00pm for a 6.30pm start.  20 x spaces only\, first in best dressed. \nSee you there! \nMatt Bailey\nNational Brand Ambassador
