SUMMARY:Odds & Ends
DESCRIPTION:Our final Melbourne Whisky Room tasting of the year\n\nIt’s that time of year when your resident whisky Santa and ambassador about town brings the ‘Odds & Ends’ for one last member masterclass of the year at Whisky & Alement. \nWe’ve had a cracking year of flavour at the SMWS and we’re neck-deep in planning for next year\, but there were a few casks that definitely sparked our interest above others\, or perhaps flew under the radar completely this year.

Tickets are available to members only and includes a light supper. \n\n\nWhen? Wednesday 14th of December 2022 — 6:30pm arrival for a 7:00pm start.\nWhere? The Melbourne Whisky Room (above Whisky & Alement)\, 270 Russell St\, Melbourne\, VIC 3000\n  \nTickets are on sale now!

SUMMARY:A Night on Islay: A Deep Dive into Distillery 53
DESCRIPTION:Mr Consistent. The big 53. The most versatile peated malt on earth. Welcome to a proper distillery deep-dive on Islay.\nAs we recently passed the 400+ cask milestone for Distillery 53 at The SMWS\, we thought it was high time we properly explore the versatility and brilliance of this incredible code and plunge into a distillery ‘deep dive’ to showcase what we’re bottling. From a never-before-seen richly sherried 8yo\, some Festival rarities\, and a Vaults Collection bottling\, the incredible output of this peated spirit is always surprising\, and consistently good. \nJoin your VIC state manager Alex Moores for a fragrant\, floral\, peated and smoky walk through the most bottled code in The Society’s livery\, the marvellous Distillery 53! \n \n  \nWhen? Thursday 15th of June 2023 — 6:30pm arrival for a 7:00pm start.\nWhere? Upstairs at Whisky & Alement\, 270 Russell St\, Melbourne\, VIC 3000.\n  \nTake note these smaller-format events sell out very quickly\, so act fast. Members are welcome to bring guests at member prices\, non-members are also welcome to attend.

DESCRIPTION:An independent cask strength battle for the ages!\nTasmania’s leading independent bottler goes head-to-head in this epic face-off: come join whisky legends Tim Duckett & Matt Bailey butting heads\, live\, at Whisky & Alement for one night only. \nHeartwood\, founded by Tim Duckett in 1999\, is Tasmania’s leading independent bottler who’s well known for his irreverent approach\, bashing casks with a paddle\, and borrowing some inspiration for naming whiskies from the SMWS — of which he’s been a member since day dot in Australia. \nSMWS\, the world’s leading whisky club\, is celebrating 40 years this year\, so you know we’ll be bringing some heavy hitters to the lineup to battle against Heartwood.
