SUMMARY:The Maestro Returns - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to whisky dinners and the art of matching food to whisky\, there is only one person to turn to: Franz Scheurer.\nThe guru who defined and wrote the book on food and whisky matching and has been behind Australia’s most legendary whisky dinners for the last 15 years returns to team up with the Society once more. \n“The Maestro Returns” will see Franz work and collaborate with Brent Savage and his chefs from the entire Bentley Group – that’s Bentley Restaurant & Bar\, Cirrus Dining\, Monopole and Yellow – and prepare a five-course menu with each dish brilliantly matched to a unique Society whisky. Franz works on the principle of 1 + 1 = 3\, meaning that the food will add something to the whisky\, and the whisky will add something to the food. It’s the culinary experience of something being greater than the sum of its parts\, and members who’ve enjoyed our Society Whisky Dinners with Franz in the past (e.g. with Tetsuya\, Neil Perry\, Darren Robertson\, Alessandro Pavoni\, etc.) should move quickly – we have space for 25 diners only. \nThis event is 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start. Hope to see you there! \nAndrew Derbidge\nNSW Manager & Cellarmaster\nderbidge@smws.com.au

SUMMARY:Unusual Pairings in Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:March Outturn is all about unusual pairings. Whisky paired with things you otherwise wouldn’t have considered. Pairings that will shock\, delight\, surprise\, and take you on a new or even absurd flavour journey.\nOur first tasting masterclass back at W&A for 2024\, we’re bringing the pairings in food like no other. Each of the five whiskies we taste will pair with a food that we’ve carefully selected to match up\, maybe in ways you might not have considered… \nWe promise this will be a rollercoaster of incredible eye-opening pairings; new single-cask whiskies\, and surprising foods to tantalise your senses. Join us on Wednesday\, February 28th for this wild ride\, and see how far down the flavour rabbit hole we can go! \n  \nWhen? Wednesday\, 28th of February 2024 — 6:30pm arrival for a 7:00pm start.\nWhere? Upstairs at Whisky & Alement\, 270 Russell St\, Melbourne\, VIC 3000.\n  \nPlease note that whilst every effort will be made to cater for dietary requirements\, we cannot make any guarantees given the wide gamut of flavours on taste.

SUMMARY:Sydney Winter Whisky Dinner—  SMWS x Franz Scheurer x Izy.Aki
DESCRIPTION:As Society Sydney Winter Whisky Dinners go — and we’ve had over a dozen now! — this is surely one of the most enticing ever.\nThe undisputed master of matching food to whisky\, Franz Scheurer\, returns once more for us\, and this time he’s teaming up with the incredible Darren Templeman at Izy.Aki. \nCome and experience what “1+1=3” is all about! Darren’s culinary CV has few peers\, and his fresh take on Japanese Kappo Omakase dining has made Izy.Aki one of Sydney’s tastiest destinations. There are precious few restaurants where one of the best chefs in the country personally serves and explains the dishes to you\, and the opportunity to pair his stunning creativity and hospitality with Society whiskies\, together with Franz’s magical touch\, is a mouthwatering prospect. \nBeing a true izakaya-style venue\, this will be an intimate dinner with room for just 24 diners as we take over the restaurant for the night. 5x Society whiskies paired with 5x carefully paired dishes\, curated to match (plus a welcome drink). If you’ve never been to a Franz Scheurer whisky dinner and you’re wondering what all the fuss is about\, book your seat quickly! \n  \nWhen? Monday\, 29th of June 2024 — 6:30pm arrival and start.\nWhere? Izy.Aki\, Cadmans Cottage Stairs 106B George Street\, The Rocks NSW 2000.\n  \nMembers are welcome to bring guests at member prices. Non-members are also welcome to attend. \n  \nPlease advise of any dietary requirements when booking. While substitutions and adjustments can happily be accommodated\, please note that as a whisky-matching dinner\, the menu and the dishes have been specifically prepared to combine with the whiskies for a “1+1=3” experience. Substituted dishes may not achieve quite the same match. \n  \nTICKETS ON SALE THURSDAY 13th\, MIDDAY AEST.
