The SMAC exists for the purpose of flavour discovery and palate development. Meetings are held once a month in Brisbane, Australia where members get together and drink delicious whisky without ever having to fork out too much. Basically we share the cost of the bottle(s) and then share our thoughts. Non-meeting tasting notes will be added too, so get in touch if you would like to contribute.

Session #5

Tuesday 4 September - 7:15pm. Ashgrove.

BYO Crystal glass if you have.


This month we are looking at PEAT MONSTERS. Ardbeg Supernova has 100ppm of peatiness, and the Bruichladdich Octomore 2_140 weighs in at 140ppm. These are some of the peatiest whiskies in the world, shadowed only by the newer releases of Octomore that go up 167ppm. This is bonkers considering that the Ardbeg 10 that we looked at in August has 50-65ppm peat levels. For lovers of smoke and peat!

    It would seem that the Supernova won the Peat War. Personally I preferred the Octomore, but for all its parts per million it just didn't seem 'super peaty'.
