SUMMARY:The Gathering: Melbourne — Beat the Panel
DESCRIPTION:The Gathering is BACK! And Alex Moores has something special in store for Melbourne members.\n  \nAhead of our large-format Global Gathering tasting at the Kelvin Club (Thursday\, September 28)\, VIC State Ambassador Alex Moores will be hosting an intimate Gathering tasting upstairs at Whisky & Alement on the 14th. This cosy and special tasting will give guests the opportunity to ‘challenge the panel’ and see if they can pick flavours and aromas in a blind tasting\, format — much similar to what Alex himself experienced when he selected the 2023 Aussie Gathering cask. \nThis is a small-format blind tasting experience — each ticket includes 6x SMWS drams (including the Aus Gathering cask)\, charcuterie\, and a welcome drink. \n  \nWhen? Thursday 14th of September 2023 — 6:30pm arrival for a 7:00pm start.\nWhere? Upstairs at Whisky & Alement\, 270 Russell St\, Melbourne\, VIC 3000.\n  \nMembers are welcome to bring guests at member pricing. Non-members are also welcome to attend. \nPlease note that these events sell out rather quickly\, you do not want to sleep on this. \n  \nTickets are on sale NOW!

This festival is for all our members\, no matter where they are in the world. Along with access to limited-edition single cask whisky\, they can take part in events in person at SMWS Members’ Rooms\, Partner Bars\, venues and online.​​ \nThe origins of The Gathering date back to September 2013 when we celebrated our 30th anniversary with a party. Now 10 years on\, as we celebrate our 40th anniversary\, we’re inviting our members around the world to come together for our BIGGEST party yet. \n— \nThe Gathering returns to Sydney this September\, but it’s not just the Gathering that’s returning. After an absence of five years\, an old favourite returns: Guess the Whisky!  \nGuess the Whisky was a regular Society event on the Sydney calendar\, held every year or two from 2007 to 2018. So how does it work and what’s on offer? We’ll be presenting and showcasing six of our Gathering whiskies\, but we’ll serve them blind without revealing their order or the cask in question. As the whiskies are presented\, each table forms a team and — with the benefit of multiple choice\, answer sheets\, and our tasting notes to help you — your team attempts to guess each whisky’s key features and characteristics. For example\, you’ll nominate its age and its ABV (both within ranges — don’t worry\, we’re not that precise!)\, its region\, and — for bonus points — the actual cask. \nEach whisky is a new round\, and we’ll unveil whiskies and scores as we go until we reach the end of the night and the winning table (with the highest aggregate score) takes home the prizes and the glory. It’s surprisingly easy\, it’s fun\, it’s informal\, and —best of all — you’ll enjoy some incredible whiskies along the way. And\, for those new to the Society or new to the world of whisky\, we’ll cover off a few of the basics — so come along and feel free to bring a friend or two — members are welcome to bring friends at member prices. \n– \nWhat’s included? \n\n6x Gathering SMWS whiskies being showcased for the first time\nLight supper & welcome dram\nAn amazing night of entertainment and great conviviality\n\nWhen? Friday the 15th of September\, 6:30pm arrival for a 7:00pm start.\nWhere? ISC Room at the RACA\, 89 Macquarie St\, Sydney NSW 2000.\n  \nMembers welcome to bring friends/guests at member prices.
