With the 3rd Malt Whisky Convention about to start in Melbourne on August 24th to 26th I have been asked by Richard Stubbs to be on his programme for a few moments to talk about the Convention specifically and distilling in Australia generally.
This should be quite a treat for me and at this stage I have no idea where the discussion is going to lead. I guess only time will tell.
As mentioned above the convention is being held in Melbourne this time after two previous highly successful conventions in Canberra and in Sydney.
Bookings for the convention are now open through the Malt Whisky Society Web Site www.mwsoa.org.au at a cost of $560 which covers all activities including a gala dinner on the Saturday night.
Representatives and of course their whiskies will be there for you to try from Glenmorangie, Ardbeg, Glenrothes, Cutty Sark, Berry Bros & Rudd, Aultmore, Banff, Little Mill, Benromach, Angoves, Aberlour, Glenlivet, Lark distillery, Glengoyne, Smokehead, Bakery Hill, Glenfiddich, Macallan, Highland Park, The Famous Grouse, Johnnie Walker and Bruichladdich.
If this is too much for your liver then the alternative is the ” Great Whisky Exposition” which is open to the public on the Sunday from 12.30pm till 5.00pm at a cost of $30.
Over 200 malts will be “on pourâ€
Both events are being held at Rydges Hotel, 186 Exhibition St, Melbourne.
For further information please ring Tesch Communications (03) 9690 9199
It should be very interesting to meet the great man himself and I hope to see as many of the friends of the distillery there at the convention.
