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

SUMMARY:A Saturday Sundowner: Challenge the Panel - Brisbane
DESCRIPTION:The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is bringing a twist on that great Queensland tradition of enjoying a few Saturday sundowners. The Society sources casks\, singular and rare\, from distilleries all around the world. These whiskies are carefully selected by our expert panel who name and provide tasting notes unique for each cask. Think of Cask 73.104 “Happy Hobnobbing Moments” or Cask 123.26 “Blossom Falling Onto Sponge Cake”. Fabulous stuff\, but\, sometimes… maybe we could do better … or differently with an Aussie twist. Here’s your chance. It’s time to challenge the panel! \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. Each team gets to have their say on what the cask should be called and what the tasting notes should really be. Bring your nose\, bring your palate and be prepared to be creative. We’ll bring the inspirational drams. Each whisky is a new round\, the best names and tasting notes will score the highest points. At the end of the tasting\, the winning table (with the highest aggregate score) takes home the prizes and the glory. \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. \nThere will be a light supper and Newstead beers and ales to cleanse the palate. All welcome!

SUMMARY:Old School: A Whisky Masterclass - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:Old School: A whisky masterclass with Andrew Derbidge\nIn the last few years we’ve 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 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 ? \nJoin the Society’s Cellarmaster and veteran\, Andrew Derbidge\, who’ll 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. Friday 3rd May 2019\, Royal Automobile Club\, 89 Macquarie St\, Sydney. Members\, partners and guests of members welcome at member rates. Non-members also welcome.
