WHISKY CLUB SOCIALS

For our first social of the year, we are hosting a masterclass led by Archie Rose Global Brand Ambassador, Nick Baxter. This isn't a standard tasting; it is a deep dive into the experimental trials and rare heritage releases that have made Archie Rose Australia's most highly awarded distillery.

To maintain an intimate social environment, tickets are strictly limited.

• Date: Thursday, March 12th, 2026
• Time: 6:30 PM Arrival for a 7:00 PM start
• Location: Six-Tricks Distilling Co, 3 Brightlands Ct, Mermaid Beach
• Investment: $99 Per Person (Inclusive of all masterclass tastings, arrival drink, 6 gourmet canapés, and member gift)

This is more than a seat in a classroom; it is a social event designed for connection. Between guided flights, you’ll have the space to engage with fellow members and discuss the pours with Nick Baxter directly. To make the transition from the masterclass back to the real world easier, every guest receives an Archie Rose Tote Bag - perfect for carrying home any bottles purchased on the night.

Educational Components

• Distillery background – Learn about the history, philosophy, and innovation behind each whisky
• Production techniques – Explore the impact of distillation, cask aging, and climate on whisky flavour
• Flavour and sensory exploration – Develop your palate through guided nosing and tasting techniques

Tasting Guidelines and Sensory Mastery

• How to properly nose and taste whisky like a professional
• Understanding flavour notes and aging influences
• Breaking down tasting structure (sight, smell, palate, finish)

By the end of the evening, you won’t just have enjoyed some incredible whiskies - you’ll walk away with a newfound appreciation for the craft and science behind them, and have formed new friendships and networks within the Gold Coast whisky community.

This is a structured whisky experience, not a casual tasting session.
