2002: Andre Tammes & John Rourke started something in Australia that would forever change the landscape of whisky appreciation forever.
They brought the world’s leading whisky club, The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, to Australia. They toured around the country with a bag of whisky and gauged interest to see whether or not Australians would truly want these rare and delicious malts.
The resounding answer was a yes! So, the plan was hatched to start the branch and bring the full Society experience to Australia.
Come join in at Tasmania’s premier Partner Bar, the New Sydney Hotel, as we celebrate the 20th year of The Scotch Malt Whisky Society being Down Under in ‘Straya. To mark the special occasion, we have three incredible Aussie exclusive bottlings for the anniversary which will feature in the line-up!
Enjoy a two-course meal as your Tasmanian State Ambassador, Tom Rofe, and special guest Victorian State Ambassador, Alex Moores (who is a proud Tasmanian, by the way), lead you and your friends through a five-dram SMWS line-up that is not to be missed.
When? Saturday 8th of October 2022 — 6:00pm arrival for a 6:30pm start.
Where? New Sydney Hotel, 87 Bathurst St, Hobart, TAS 7000
