SUMMARY:Spicy & Sweet: Flavour Deep Dive
DESCRIPTION:Spicy & Sweet — it’s a flavour profile we come across often in the SMWS range\, but how well do we really understand it?\nKnown for its warmth\, boldness\, and complexity\, this profile offers far more than first meets the nose.

Join State Ambassador Alex Moores this September for a bespoke tasting\, guiding you through a selection of Spicy & Sweet bottlings (current and unreleased) that shows just how diverse and surprising this popular profile can be — a reminder of why flavour is always at the heart of what the Society does. \n5x Spicy & Sweet drams + a welcome drink\, and grazing plates included in your ticket — discover the Society’s most popular flavour profile amongst good friends this coming September. \n  \nWhen? Tuesday the 23rd of September\, 6:30pm arrival for a 7pm start.\nWhere? Whisky & Alement; 270 Russell St\, Melbourne VIC 3000.\n  \nMembers are welcome to bring guests at member pricing. Non-members are also welcome to attend. \n  \nThis is one of two flavour masterclasses we’ll be running at the end of September; be sure to check our Deep\, Rich & Dried Fruits masterclass for further flavour discovery.
