SUMMARY:Vaults 1682
DESCRIPTION:Rewind 330 odd years. The year is 1682. The location? The Vaults in Leith\, Edinburgh\, Scotland.\nIt’s an important turning point for The Vaults\, a point in history in fact\, when The Vaults were established as a prominent wine cellar. It’s a site that exists even as far back as the 13th century! Fast forward to 1983 and a man named Pip Hills started The Scotch Malt Whisky Society in these very vaults. Then look to 2002 when John Rourke and Andre Tammes started the Australian chapter of the SMWS out of their love of single cask whisky. Come 2019\, we’re now taking a moment to celebrate that history with one of the most special experiences we’ve ever hosted. \nTake a trip back in time with the Society in what is our oldest and rarest whisky experience in Australia ever. Our National Ambassador has raided some of the rarest ‘paper label’ casks from the Society’s history\, deep within the dusty cabinets of our founding director’s stash\, and we relish the opportunity to create this one-off evening in Sydney. \nOn the night:\n\nWe’ll have our own private dining room at the award-winning Bentley Restaurant in Sydney\nWe’ll be tasting\, enjoying and vigorously discussing 10 x drams from the Society’s ‘paper label’ vintage era\nWe’ll enjoy a full 4-course dinner in between sets of drams at the remarkable Bentley Restaurant\nEveryone attending will leave with their own commemorative historical menu from the night\nThere will be a full presentation from the SMWS team\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Peat Plants II Preview at the New Syd
DESCRIPTION:Peat Plants II is coming soon…but you get a special sneak peek\, Tassie!\n  \nAs some of you may know\, Peat Plants\, two years ago now\, was the first ever Creators Collection to be bottled and released. Now\, we’re excited to bring you the second Peat Plants — PEAT PLANTS II! A series of four releases across our new ‘Bold & Peaty’ and ‘Smoky & Fruity’ Flavour Profiles. \n“This collection celebrates the powerful and medicinal nature of West Coast peat. We have selected a variety of expressions from Islay along with some similarly robust whisky from the Isle of Mull. These phenol-packed casks cover a spectrum from deeply tropical fruit and smoke through to intense carbolic character. There’s so much flavour diversity to be found in this collection\, in both spirit style and cask type. A real celebration of peat.” — Euan Campbell\, Head of Whisky Creation. \nWe are absolutely delighted to be able to present these four whiskies (alongside two welcome drams) to our members at the New Sydney hotel in April ahead of its National release in Outturn.

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.
