SUMMARY:EIGHT Christmas Steps to Heaven - Canberra
DESCRIPTION:The year has flown by\, and it’s that time already…our End of Year Christmas Canberra Bash! \nIn keeping with Christmas tradition\, we once again present our fabulous EIGHT Christmas Steps to Heaven at The Deck – overlooking beautiful Lake Burley Griffin. What’s eight for? It’s EIGHT degrees of single cask satisfaction!\nAll you need to know in Eight Steps: \n1. When and where: Wednesday 14th November at The Deck\, Barrine Drive\, Parkes\, arguably Canberra’s most pictureque venue.\n2. EIGHT Society whiskies being featured (and\, in some cases\, never before showcased in Australia).\n3. The first EIGHT members to place an order on the night will receive a free miniature sample bottle of SMWS whisky.\n4. $88 for Members\, Partners and their Guests\, $108 for General Admission / Non-Members.\n5. Strictly limited to 48 people – so Canberrans\, don’t leave it until the last minute\, book in now to avoid disappointment!\n6. The format will be our ever-popular “Steps” style tasting. You will receive six tasting tokens – simply choose whichever six whiskies you’d like to taste\, in whatever order and pace you wish.\n7. Meet and chat with our amazing team of ACT Society Ambassadors who will be manning a stand and pouring out drams on the night.\n8. A delicious supper will be provided alongside the whiskies\, together with lots of fun\, humour\, conviviality\, and that great atmosphere that only a Society event can provide. 6.15pm for a 6.30pm start. \nHope to see you there for a fantastic Festive Season gathering in great company! \nSlainte! \nDrew McKinnie\, ACT Manager\nmckinnie@smws.com.au

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:The Gathering: Canberra
DESCRIPTION:What 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 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! \nThe Gathering Canberra is being held at our Partner Bar\, Hippo Co\, for a special night of cheese\, whisky\, chat\, and learn a few things along the way for this fun night of malts and magic. Come gather with us and share a few drams of some special casks. One night only for Canberra: 26th September\, 6pm for a 6:30pm start. \nDon’t miss this one…

SUMMARY:In Search Of The Flying Haggis!
DESCRIPTION:In Search Of The Flying Haggis!\n\nThe Loch Ness monster\, Edinburgh Castle\, ‘hairy coos’ and whisky are all well known Scottish icons. One of the lesser known ones is the Flying Haggis. \n\nIn search of this elusive flying creature\, let us take you on a sensory journey through Scotland visiting six* whisky distilleries – yes six distilleries – along the way.\n\nIt’s rumoured these strange\, and some say mythical\, flying haggis creatures\, congregate where the sweet smell of malted barley and spirit vapours fill the air. Maybe there are no angels; maybe the loss from sleeping oak casks lies with the Flying Haggis? We’ll see if we can discover the truth – we’ve got plenty of drams to savour and many miles to travel on our armchair journey.\n\nLet us take you through deep glens\, past brooding lochs and swift\, tumbling rivers\, through hedgerows and fields\, ancient castles and stone ruins\, lush gardens\, steep munroes and bustling villages. Come with us to unravel the mystery\, enjoy some fabulous single cask malts and a delicious supper. You never know\, if we’re lucky\, we may even capture a Flying Haggis!\n\nFriday 10 September 2021\n6 for 6.30pm start\n\nUpstairs Function Room\nThe Gilbert Street Hotel\n88 Gilbert Street\nAdelaide SA 5000\n\nTickets $85 for members\, partners and their guests / $115 for non-members\n\nNB: All SMWS events are subject to change\, cancel or reschedule based on government advice for restrictions and lockdowns.

SUMMARY:A Rare Sherried Affair
DESCRIPTION:The Big M.\nA distillery that needs almost no introduction. The jewel of Speyside. The most renowned distillery in perhaps all of Scotland. \nIn every discussion about Scotch whisky as a whole\, the ‘Big M’ distillery comes up in conversation at least once. It can divide\, unite\, and create a charm that no other distillery seems to capture. Either way you look at it\, there’s a certain charm to distillery 24. Its recent expansion\, the Easter Elchies House\, the chewy richness of spirit and narrow cuts off the still: there’s a lot to explore with this powerhouse distillery. \nCome explore these great whiskies with the SMWS as well as some other incredible sherried offerings: a mixture of current single cask Society casks\, including an upcoming Vaults Collection 24. \n  \nWhen? Thursday 13th of October 2022 — 6:30pm arrival for a 7:00pm start.\nWhere? The Melbourne Whisky Room\, 270 Russell St\, Melbourne\, VIC 3000\n  \nMembers are welcome to bring guests at member prices; non-members are also welcome to attend.
