The Scotch Malt Whisky Society Australia

Creators Collection Preview — Fortified: Adeventures in Australian Wine Casks
2026-04-14 18:30 - 21:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | Whisky & Alement, 270 Russell St, Melbourne, VIC, 3000, Australia
A Creators Collection that hits close to home — join us for the country’s first look at the upcoming Fortified Creators Collection…
At the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, we’ve never been shy about experimenting with cask maturation. Over the years, we’ve explored just about every cask type imaginable – and discovered time and again how a great whisky can be shaped by an exceptional cask.
With Fortified: Adventures in Australian wine casks, we’ve taken that question to our own backyard — exploring the impact of casks that once held fortified Chardonnay, tawny wine, and muscat. The result? A new flavour experience, built on the same taste for adventure that defines everything we do.
It’s whisky with a twist. Familiar spirit, unexpected flavour… And you’ll taste it straight away — layer upon layer of unexpected texture, sweetness and spice. What’s more, our Director Matt Bailey had a hand in sourcing these ex-fortified casks!
Join local Ambassador Alex Moores upstairs at Whisky & Alement for an exclusive preview of these three Creators Collection bottlings:
