SUMMARY:SMWS Japan 30th Anniversary Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating 30 Years of SMWS Japan Branch!\n\n\nIn 2022\, the Australia branch celebrated 20 years of SMWS\, and this year we’re celebrating 40 years globally\, but in between all that\, it’s also the 30th birthday of SMWS Japan this year! Founded in 1993\, SMWS Japan’s 30th birthday is this year\, so we’re hosting a very special one-off birthday celebration tasting. We’ve secured one bottle of each of the three birthday celebratory releases\, and we’re sharing them around with you\, along with some other surprises and goodies on the night. \nThese super rare releases were exclusive to SMWS Japan\, so we’re very lucky to be the only other country on Earth to share these with members. On the night\, we’ll start with a Society highball\, then taste through the SMWS Japan exclusives\, plus other special SMWS casks that complement the lineup\, along with a traditional Japanese supper. Places for this event are strictly limited and are first in best dressed\, this event is available for members only. Come celebrate SMWS Japan on Thursday 26 October\, 7pm start. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen? Thursday 26th of October 2023 — 6:30pm arrival for a 7:00pm start.\nWhere? Upstairs at Whisky & Alement\, 270 Russell St\, Melbourne\, VIC 3000.\n\n\n\n\n\nMembers welcome to bring guests at member rates. No non-member tickets will be available for this event.

SUMMARY:Japanese Distillery Launch: Private Omakase Experience Night 1
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate omakase dinner as we introduce Distillery 159 and 160 from Japan!\nIn 2008\, Japanese whisky exploded onto the global market (after many years of limited success)\, despite having only 80 years of production behind it. Since then\, we have seen an exponential growth in both distilleries and consumption of Japanese whisky. The Scotch Malt Whisky Society got on the lift early doors\, with the first single cask released in 2002\, cask 116.1 Coconut peapods and tropical hothouses. Since then\, the Society’s releases have expanded to include highly sought-after casks from distilleries 119\, 120\, 124\, 130\, 131 and 132. \nWith the rise of new distilleries since 2008\, the chance to share these exciting new whiskies with the Society has grown. We are delighted to invite you to an intimate dinner at Besuto Omakase\, where we will explore two of the newest Japanese distilleries to join the Scotch Malt Whisky Society — Cask 159.1 and Cask 160.1 — along with a special surprise from the past! Our very own Lachlan Watt\, and Joel Best from Besuto Omakase will take you on a journey through a series of 8x courses\, 4x Japanese whiskies\, and a custom highball on arrival. \nThis event will take place over two sessions (one session per person limit). This will also be an opportunity to order Cask 159.1 and Cask 160.1 before they’re released to the public (limited bottlings available for pre-order). \n\nWhen? Wednesday 19th March 2025\nSession 1: 5pm\nSession 2: 8:15pm\nGuests are welcome to arrive early and enjoy drams at the bar prior to or after their booked session. \nWhere? Bar Besuto\, 3 Underwood St\, Sydney NSW 2000.\n  \nThis is a members-only event. Due to the extremely limited availability of seats\, unfortunately it will not be possible to bring guests to these events. One session per member. Due to the nature of the event\, one week cancellation notice is required. \nPlease note that this is for the first evening of sessions — Wednesday\, 19th of March. \nFor the Thursday 20th sessions\, please click here.
