SUMMARY:20th Anniversary of Australia Branch: Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:2002: Andre Tammes & John Rourke started something in Australia that would forever change the landscape of whisky appreciation forever.\nThey brought the world’s leading whisky club\, The Scotch Malt Whisky Society\, to Australia.

Fast forward to 2022 and we’ve hit our 20-year milestone\, and you guessed it\, we have some rather special 20th-anniversary casks and experiences to share yet again. \nAt this celebration on the 1st of October\, we’ll be taking over the whole Old Melbourne Gaol and your ticket entitles you to: \n\nAll drinks\nAll food\nA special Society cocktail specially crafted for the experience\n+ more to be announced…\n\nCome join the most vibrant whisky community in Australia with a special launch of these 20th-anniversary casks and let’s raise a dram to the whisky club that started it all\, The SMWS.

SUMMARY:A Rare Sherried Affair
DESCRIPTION:The Big M.\nA distillery that needs almost no introduction. The jewel of Speyside. The most renowned distillery in perhaps all of Scotland. \nIn every discussion about Scotch whisky as a whole\, the ‘Big M’ distillery comes up in conversation at least once. It can divide\, unite\, and create a charm that no other distillery seems to capture. Either way you look at it\, there’s a certain charm to distillery 24. Its recent expansion\, the Easter Elchies House\, the chewy richness of spirit and narrow cuts off the still: there’s a lot to explore with this powerhouse distillery. \nCome explore these great whiskies with the SMWS as well as some other incredible sherried offerings: a mixture of current single cask Society casks\, including an upcoming Vaults Collection 24. \n  \nWhen? Thursday 13th of October 2022 — 6:30pm arrival for a 7:00pm start.\nWhere? The Melbourne Whisky Room\, 270 Russell St\, Melbourne\, VIC 3000\n  \nMembers are welcome to bring guests at member prices; non-members are also welcome to attend.

Saturday the 22nd of October\, 12:15pm arrival for a 12:30pm start.\nWhere? Chancery Lane\, 430 Little Collins Street\, Melbourne VIC 3000\n  \nThis event is exclusively available to members of The Society only\, partners and guests are welcome to attend.
