Change of Season, Change of Style - Winter Whisky Degustation Dinner
2016-08-12 19:00 - 22:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Western Australia
This Winter, as the temperature plummets and wild winds billow, the ACT SMWS community ventures to the warm, cosy, rustic atmosphere of The Green Herring at Gininderra Village for a six-course Degustation Dining & Whisky Tasting experience. The chefs have developed some variations on their delicious dishes to allow our luscious SMWS whiskies to shine. Drew McKinnie invites SMWS members and guests to join us for a seated tasting to accompany the degustation menu. Warmth, savoury, sweet and complex flavours will complement our brilliant winter whisky selections, showing glorious malty, complex and smoky accents to keep the coldest windswept Canberran warm.

Come and join us and experience the joy . . . taste the joy . . . share the joy of Whisky. Fine food prepared by Chef Michael will complement our tasting evening. We look forward to seeing you and your friends and catching up on the world of whisky.

An Evening with David Stewart and The Balvenie - Sydney
2016-07-18 19:00 - 21:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Royal Automobile Club, 89 Macquarie Street, SYDNEY, NSW, 2000, Australia
Every now and then, an extremely rare and special opportunity comes along to be granted an audience with a true legend of the Scotch whisky industry. The Society is thrilled to offer one such moment: An Evening with David Stewart & The Balvenie.
David is one of the last of the true Master Blenders, and is the longest serving Malt Master in the industry today. His status and authority in the game is peerless and he was recently awarded an MBE for his services to the Scotch whisky industry. His reputation for presenting entertaining yet thought provoking whisky masterclasses is legendary.
David is touring Australia next month as part of his work with The Balvenie and the Society is delighted to team up with the folks at William Grant & Sons for David to present an exclusive Masterclass event for our members and their guests in both Melbourne and Sydney. David will present a line-up of top-notch whiskies from the Balvenie portfolio and – in a treat for the Society – he’s drawn off some cask samples directly from two very special casks, exclusively for this event. For our part, we’ll also present a new Society whisky on the night that will be exclusive to this event.
Places for this tantalising event are strictly limited so we urge you to act quickly for this unbelievably rare, special, and privileged opportunity.
Welcome dram: 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start.
