Taste whisky, win huge prizes!

Can you tell the difference between a Bruichladdich and a Balvenie? How about between a Starward and a Springbank? If so, test, tempt, and delight your senses at the biggest whisky competition in Australia as the Australian Malt Whisky Tasting Championship is back for a huge, fun night in 2023. Unlike any other competition on earth, this momentous event will see someone crowned the Australian Malt Whisky Tasting Champion based on their sensory prowess.


On the night, you sit down in front of eight whiskies, we give you the answers, and then you pick out which one is which within 30 minutes. Easy enough! Then we party into the night with the SMWS single cask bar and more...

On the night:

• Major prizes to be won by the three top tasters on the night

• The opportunity to be crowned the Whisky Champion of Australia

• A special SMWS single cask bar with new single cask releases on taste

• A cocktail bar and stories range selection from The Balvenie

• Prizes from the Society, BenRiach, and The Oak Barrel

• All food and drinks provided 

Will you take home the trophy? The glory? Who will be crowned the Australian Malt Whisky Tasting Champion? The perfect mix of skill and luck - the Whisky Champs are back for 2023!
