SUMMARY:EIGHT - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:The year has flown by\, and it’s that time already…our End of Year Sydney Bash! \nIn keeping with recent tradition\, we present once more our fabulous EIGHT tasting. What’s eight for? It’s EIGHT degrees of satisfaction!\n1. Friday 10th November in the Macquarie Room at the Royal Automobile Club\, 89 Macquarie St.\n2. EIGHT new Society whiskies being featured\, many of them never before seen in Sydney (and\, in some cases\, never before showcased in Australia).\n3. The first EIGHT members to book in get 8% off the cost of any whisky they purchase on the night.\n4. The first EIGHT members to place an order on the night will receive a free 50ml official sample bottle of SMWS whisky.\n5. The first EIGHT members to submit an order for two bottles on the night will receive two free 50ml official sample bottles of SMWS whiskies. (From two different casks).\n6. $88 for members\, $118 for non-members\n7. Strictly limited to just 88 people.\n8. The format will be our ever-popular “Steps” style tasting. Attendees will receive six tasting tokens – simply choose whichever six whiskies you want to redeem them against\, in whatever order and pace you wish.\n9. Meet and chat with our regular team of Sydney Society Ambassadors who will be manning a stand and pouring out drams on the night – Andrew\, Murray\, Tony\, Matt\, Andre and myself.\n10. Canape supper will be provided\, together with lots of water\, fun\, humour\, conviviality\, and that great atmosphere that only a Society tasting can provide. 6.30pm for a 6.45pm start. \nSlainte! \nAndrew Derbidge\nCellarmaster & NSW Manager

SUMMARY:Winter Whisky Tasting - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:We’ve had so many new and different tasting events this year\, and we’re already more than half way through winter!  So\, whilst the weather is still cold and the drams taste that much better\, we felt we should round off the season with a Winter Whisky Tasting.  With the emphasis on tasting… \nWe’ll be showcasing a deliberate range of whiskies for this event:  Some off the new August Outturn; maybe some sneak peeks of what will appear on the September Outturn; and also a few special whiskies we have in such small quantities that they’re unlikely to ever be featured on an Outturn!  It will be an eclectic\, yet extremely delicious line up.  A more “social” tasting rather than a tutored masterclass\, we’ll simply showcase a great range of Society drams and let the whiskies do the talking.  (Don’t worry – we’ll announce each whisky and share the full story and details about each distillery and the cask).  This is definitely an event to bring your friends to if you’ve always wanted to share the joys of SMWS whisky. \nAs always\, a light supper will be served.  6.30pm (welcome dram) for a 7.00pm start. And\, as always\, places are limited\, so please book early to avoid disappointment. \nGreat whisky needs company – hope to see you there! \nSlainte\,\nAndrew Derbidge\nSMWS Cellarmaster

SUMMARY:An Evening with Glen Moray - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:An Evening with Glen Moray: Take a journey to Speyside with our Ambassador. \nIt’s so rare that we are blessed with such a depth of range at one time from one single distillery\, so we decided to open one of every expression for this Member exclusive event and fully explore all the flavour from these special casks for one evening only at the Royal Automobile Club\, Sydney. Situated on the River Lossie right in the heart of the Speyside region in Elgin\, while Glen Moray Distillery might not carry the same superstar status of the big brands that surround it\, there’s no doubting the remarkable spirit character it produces.  Never in the history of Society ’35’ casks have we seen such diversity of character and such exciting depth of catalogue from so many unique casks. \nWe hope you can join us for this intimate and exploratory evening with a special message from the distillery for our members. From refill hogsheads to first fill Chenin Blanc barrels\, there’s a cask and flavour profile for everyone in this bunch\, including a few surprises along the way. \nSix Society Glen Moray drams\, a welcome dram on arrival\, and light supper provided. 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start on Thursday 27th April. \nStrictly limited places for this Member event. Members may bring their Partner and/or one Guest. \nAnd yes\, as always\, first in\, best dressed!

SUMMARY:Let's get back to basics - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:In the last 12 months\, the Society in Sydney has held all manner of new and exciting events.  As we kick off our calendar of events for 2017\, it occurred to us that it’s actually been a long time since we last held a good\, ol’ fashioned\, traditional whisky tasting and masterclass. \nJoin us on March 10th as we go back to basics and present a tasting masterclass.  We’ll showcase a stunning array of Society whiskies featuring all-new selections and releases not seen before in Australia.   Whilst open to everyone\, this event is aimed at newer members who may have joined the Society in the last 6-12 months.  There will be a small but fun educational side to the evening as we cover off what makes Society bottlings so special.  Those who think they “know” whisky might be in for a surprise!   Light supper included.  Friends and guests welcome! \nSlainte mhath\, \nAndrew Derbidge\nSMWS Cellarmaster

SUMMARY:Whisky & Jazz - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:For our end of year bash in Sydney\, we’ve decided to JAZZ things up a bit… In the past\, we have matched our Society single cask single malts to cheese\, chocolate\, coffee\, craft beer and fine dining – this time we’ll be matching our whiskies to live music!!  We’ll be covering a wide spectrum of whisky flavour profiles – Sweet\, Fruity and Mellow\, Spicy and Dry\, Juicy\, Oak & Vanilla\, Lightly Peated and Peated. And we’ll even match the supper to the single cask offerings. This will be an informal cocktail style event with a little bit of education and a lot of fun. Each whisky will be introduced with its matched music (no\, not Jingle Bells!) – and with matching canapes to boot. \nSo gather your people and come along for this fun finale to the year. All whiskies tasted will be available to Members to purchase – an early Christmas present for yourself and/or others. And there will be prizes including the Steven Bradbury Lucky B****** Prize – a $100 Gift Voucher just in time for the Festive Season. All welcome! \nSlainte! \nAndrew Derbidge\nCellarmaster & NSW Manager \nSORRY\, SOLD OUT – please contact our info to be waitlisted: 02 9974 3046 or info@smws.com.au.

SUMMARY:An Evening with David Stewart and The Balvenie - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:Every now and then\, an extremely rare and special opportunity comes along to be granted an audience with a true legend of the Scotch whisky industry.  The Society is thrilled to offer one such moment:  An Evening with David Stewart & The Balvenie. \nDavid is one of the last of the true Master Blenders\, and is the longest serving Malt Master in the industry today.   His status and authority in the game is peerless and he was recently awarded an MBE for his services to the Scotch whisky industry.   His reputation for presenting entertaining yet thought provoking whisky masterclasses is legendary. \nDavid is touring Australia next month as part of his work with The Balvenie and the Society is delighted to team up with the folks at William Grant & Sons for David to present an exclusive Masterclass event for our members and their guests in both Melbourne and Sydney.   David will present a line-up of top-notch whiskies from the Balvenie portfolio and – in a treat for the Society – he’s drawn off some cask samples directly from two very special casks\, exclusively for this event.   For our part\, we’ll also present a new Society whisky on the night that will be exclusive to this event. \nPlaces for this tantalising event are strictly limited so we urge you to act quickly for this unbelievably rare\, special\, and privileged opportunity. \nWelcome dram: 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start.
