SUMMARY:Whisky 101...And 102...And 103
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to go beyond the basics?\n  \nWant to think differently about your whisky? Would you like to lift your game and become a Dram Whisperer? Our March event is a play on Whisky 101 and will be an in-depth look at the fundamentals of whisky: ingredients\, production\, maturation\, and the like. We’ll then go up a gear and also look at Whisky 102 and 103…exploring some of the little-known facts and secrets that the brands and industry don’t want you to know about! \nIf you’ve joined the Society recently or haven’t been to an event for a while\, this is definitely an evening not to miss. And\, needless to say\, we’ll be featuring a fantastic selection of five Society malts to savour and enjoy presented by SMWS Chairman and Keeper of the Quaich Andrew Derbidge. \n  \nWhen? Friday 10th March 2023 — 6:30pm arrival for a 7pm start.\nWhere? The Royal Automobile Club of Australia ISC Room\, 89 Macquarie St\, Sydney NSW 2000.\n  \nMembers are welcome to bring guests at member pricing. Non-members are also welcome to attend.
