In Search Of The Flying Haggis!
2021-09-10 18:30 - 20:30 | Gilbert St Hotel, 88 Gilbert St, Adelaide, SA, 5000, Australia
In Search Of The Flying Haggis!

The Loch Ness monster, Edinburgh Castle, ‘hairy coos’ and whisky are all well known Scottish icons. One of the lesser known ones is the Flying Haggis.

In search of this elusive flying creature, let us take you on a sensory journey through Scotland visiting six* whisky distilleries – yes six distilleries – along the way.

It’s rumoured these strange, and some say mythical, flying haggis creatures, congregate where the sweet smell of malted barley and spirit vapours fill the air. Maybe there are no angels; maybe the loss from sleeping oak casks lies with the Flying Haggis? We’ll see if we can discover the truth – we’ve got plenty of drams to savour and many miles to travel on our armchair journey.

Let us take you through deep glens, past brooding lochs and swift, tumbling rivers, through hedgerows and fields, ancient castles and stone ruins, lush gardens, steep munroes and bustling villages. Come with us to unravel the mystery, enjoy some fabulous single cask malts and a delicious supper. You never know, if we’re lucky, we may even capture a Flying Haggis!

Virtual Tasting Event
Ultimate Winter Boilermaker Pairings
We’ve been working away in the background on one of the most exciting Society projects ever. What happens when you age beer in ex-whisky casks? What happens when you mature whisky in ex-beer casks?! What happens when that beer is from one of the most awarded breweries in Australia, and some of the world’s most awarded single casks? We’ve gone ahead and done both. We’ve matured UK beer in ex-Society casks, AND we’ve matured Melbourne beer in an ex-SMWS 53 single cask, and some other surprises along the way.
Each pack includes all the beer, all the whisky samples, and the perfect pairings of malt & malt across beer & whisky, in the best possible way.
Join us on Friday 30 July at 7pm AEST to warm up with perfect beer & whisky pairings!
Packs are strictly limited, don’t miss out.

Winter warming Boilermaker Tasting

Boilermakers are back!
Our next tasting is made in heaven! We are excited to present an evening of not only five of our great Society single cask whiskies, but also an opportunity to match them to a hand picked range of craft beers.
According to Alan, he’s been doing research in this field for many years, sacrificing several hours each week in the exploration of breweries, malts and hops in an effort to discover flavours and aromas of beers worthy of our event. I can’t say I blame him . . . pairings of beer and whisky have been a popular activity by many. Our Society members interstate have been party to boilermaker tastings in the past. Well now it’s South Australia’s turn.

You’re familiar with the wash or beer produced in the distilling of whisky. During this event we’ll spend some time and energy indulging in some wide ranging craft beers alongside our amazing whiskies. We’ll answer your questions, tantilise your tastebuds, get you thinking and above all have some fun exploring the craft and dark arts of some of life’s pleasures.

This is definitely not a night to be driving yourself! Please arrange some transport home afterwards. A delicious supper will be offered, but remember it will be a night of beer AND whisky.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday 25 June, 2021, 6.00 for 6.30pm. Take note there is no lift/accessible access to the venue.

Slainte,
