SUMMARY:Single Cask Spirits Spotlight
DESCRIPTION:Beyond single malt\, The Scotch Malt Whisky Society also experiments with Single Cask Spirits — each bottle a love letter to the other spirits whose character truly shines when bottled in single cask form\, and we’d love to share some new releases with you.\nJoin us upstairs at Whisky & Alement for a Friday night of Single Cask Spirits as we spotlight a different type of SCS release from the Society catalogue — most of which have not yet been released in Australia! This intimate tasting will be led by your local VIC Society Ambassador Alex Moores and will encompass Society Armagnac (.1 from a new code)\, Cognac\, Rum\, Bourbon\, Rye Whiskey\, and\, of course\, a single malt to top things off. \nThis is an intimate showcase event and an opportunity to try some unreleased drams and learn more about the Society’s Single Cask Spirit range. 6x drams and shared cheeseboards. Tickets are limited\, so grab yours when they go on sale Thursday\, 15th of May at midday. \n  \nWhen? Friday\, 30 May 2025 — 6:30pm arrival for a 7:00pm start.\nWhere? Whisky & Alement Upstairs — 270 Russell Street\, Melbourne VIC 3000.\n  \nThis event is available only to members of SMWS Australia; members may purchase an extra ticket for a guest\, though. \n  \nTickets go on sale Thursday 15th of May at midday.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Tamdhu
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a small and intimate tasting with the acclaimed international ambassador for Ian Macleod Distillers\, Gordon Dundas\, as we enjoy an evening with Tamdhu.\nTamdhu Distillery is one of the quiet achievers on Speyside but lays claim to being the only distillery in Scotland to fill 100% into sherry casks for its production. Fans of sherried whiskies will not want to miss this! \nRecently elevated to the rank of Master by the Keepers of the Quaich\, Ian has had a storied career in the industry and has long been a friend of the Society. (Members may recall he presented a tasting for us in Sydney back in 2014 when he looked after a different brand.) Currently holidaying in Australia\, Andrew Derbidge has convinced him to take a night out of his leave to give us his wisdom\, insights\, and humour into all things Tamdhu. \nWe’ll be tasting a combined line-up of Tamdhu whiskies from their official stable\, plus several SMWS single cask releases from Distillery 8 that we’ve had express-flown to Sydney just for this event. \nBottled just in the last few months\, these Society casks have not even been released in Europe yet\, so this will be quite the sneak peek! \nPlease note this event is a Members-only exclusive with room for just 20 people. A light supper will be served during the night. \n  \nWhen? Thursday the 31st of July\, 6:30pm for a 7:00pm start.\nWhere? Royal Automobile Club of Australia\, 89 Macquarie Street\, Sydney.

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.

SUMMARY:Gathering '25 — Guess the Dram in Sydney
DESCRIPTION:Yes\, it’s back! Our favourite and most popular tasting event is back for 2025. And\, this year\, we’re combining it with our annual Gathering!\nThe SMWS Gathering has always been a time of coming together\, a time to embrace the shared love and passion for good whisky amongst friends new and old. It’s a celebration of everything that makes the SMWS truly unique: the whisky\, stories\, experiences\, and most importantly\, the members! \nSo\, how does our “Guess the Whisky” night work\, and what’s on offer? We’ll be presenting and showcasing five of our latest whiskies — some of 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 and — with the benefit of multiple choice\, answer sheets\, and the tasting notes to help you — your team attempts to guess each whisky’s key features and characteristics. \nFor example\, its age\, its ABV (both within ranges — don’t worry\, we’re not that precise!)\, its Flavour Profile\, its region\, and — for bonus points — the actual cask code! Each whisky is a new round\, and we’ll unveil whiskies and scores as we go until we reach the end of the night and the winning table (with the highest aggregate score) takes home the prizes and the glory. \nIt’s a bit like your local pub trivia night\, only tastier! \nIt’s surprisingly easy\, it’s fun\, it’s informal\, and — best of all — you’ll enjoy some incredible whiskies along the way. And it will also be your best chance to try our Australian-exclusive Gathering cask\, which this year was handpicked by our Marketing Manager\, Adam Ioannidis\, before it’s released online on the 17th. So\, come on down\, and feel free to rope in a friend or two…. \n\nWhen? Thursday the 16th of October\, 6:30pm arrival for a 7pm start.\nWhere? The ISC Room at The Royal Automobile Club of Australia; 89 Macquarie St\, Sydney NSW 2000.\n  \n\nThis event is open to members and non-members alike — non-member tickets will include an SMWS membership at a special rate. Members are welcome to purchase tickets for guests at member rates.
