SMWS Christmas Outturn Preview with Matt Bailey
From AUD $89.00
  • Duration: 90 Minutes (approx.)
  • Product code: PHNZCK

Settle in at home on Tuesday, November 10 with 7 x 15ml pours from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, November & December Festive Outturn. Hosted by Australian SMWS Ambassador Matt Bailey, and Whisky & Alement host Miranda Lidgerwood, we are proud to be able to offer the opportunity to preview these single cask whiskies ahead of their launch on November 13! 

As the November and December months roll closer, Whisky & Alement are feeling nostalgic. See, the pre-Christmas buzz kicks off around here when the Scotch Malt Whisky Society releases their 'end of the year' massive bumper outturn, with over 20 single casks available. Being a proud partner bar, Whisky & Alement always order in as many of these festive bottles as we can fit atop the bar. Sharing these whiskies with our Melbourne community and the wonderful members of the SMWS is a highlight of our Christmas calendar every year, so, this year, we are elated to be able to reach SMWS members and whisky-lovers Australia-wide, and share with you - virtually - our staff picks from the 2020 Christmas outturn.

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society offers a rare perspective on your favourite Scottish (and world!) distilleries. These single casks serve as a glimpse into original and undisturbed character, and in many cases a character that we would otherwise have no access to. Before the addition of water, before the art of blending, totally unfiltered and exclusive. Just single casks of extraordinary whisky, selected by their esteemed expert tasting panel.

Revel Brewing speaks: "We’ve partnered up with our close friend Matt Wenk at Smidge Wines (McLaren Vale) to deliver a unique collaboration brew, the Montepulciano IPA! The beer has been fermented on Montepulciano skins with the addition of a barrique (wine barrel) of juice to create a complex and vibrant beer. It champions the characteristics of an IPA, bright and hoppy, but is also complemented by the tannin and textures of the grapes. Radiant purple in colour, it has a nose of stone fruit and melon, marrying everything we love about beer and wine. An exceptionally refreshing beer to be enjoyed anytime."
