SUMMARY:Creators Collection Preview — Fortified: Adeventures in Australian Wine Casks
DESCRIPTION:A Creators Collection that hits close to home — join us for the country’s first look at the upcoming Fortified Creators Collection…\nAt 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. \nWith 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. \nIt’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! \nJoin local Ambassador Alex Moores upstairs at Whisky & Alement for an exclusive preview of these three Creators Collection bottlings: \n\n5.142 Drenched in fruit salad goo — 22-years-old\n70.65 Wonder from down under — 17-years-old\n9.311 How do you like these apples? — 21-years-old\n\nYour ticket also includes another three Society malts alongside a light supper. \n  \nWhen? Tuesday the 14th of April 2026\, 6:30pm arrival for a 7:00pm start.\nWhere? Whisky & Alement (upstairs); 270 Russell St\, Melbourne VIC 3000.\n  \nThis event is exclusively available to members and guests of members.

SUMMARY:The Gathering: Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Due to overwhelming demand\, extra tickets just added! Please note change of venue.\nWhat is the Gathering?\nIt’s a global Society evening being hosted in as many cities and towns around the world as possible with the idea harking back to the Scottish meaning of the word ‘Gathering’: a bringing together of people who shared common ancestry\, lands\, and a leader. A gathering was more than just a family reunion\, it was also a celebration. It’s the perfect term to describe a coming together of those whose passion and commonality is whisky. We have some special casks just landed for the Gathering events\, one cask of which is strictly a by-the-dram only serve. This particular cask has been shared with all SMWS branches worldwide for a truly global club gathering all enjoying the same amazing celebratory dram just for this occasion. And it’s from Distillery 33! \nOne night only at the historic Kelvin Club in Melbourne CBD. Included in the ticket are cheeses\, meats\, welcome dram\, Gathering casks and more. \nThursday 26th September\, 6pm for a 6:30pm start. \nDon’t miss this one…
