SUMMARY:Flavour Deep Dive: Juicy\, Oak & Vanilla
DESCRIPTION:Are you a big fan of tropical\, vanilla-driven malts? This tasting is for you!\nThe first of Alex’s flavour-profile-driven tastings upstairs at Whisky & Alement showcasing some of our existing 12 flavour profiles — and\, as you may have guessed\, this tasting will be concentrating on the middle blue profile — Juicy\, Oak & Vanilla!

Tuesday the 10th of March 2026\, 6:30pm arrival for a 7:00pm start.\nWhere? Whisky & Alement (upstairs); 270 Russell St\, Melbourne VIC 3000.\n  \nMembers are welcome to bring guests at member prices. Non-members are also welcome to attend and learn more about the Society.
