WEDNESDAY JUNE 5TH

Scotch Malt Whiskey Club Whiskey Tasting

Forty odd years ago in Scotland, a group of aficionados realised that expensive whiskey tastes much better than the cheap stuff. Nowadays, the Scotch Malt Whiskey Society is worldwide and ready to share its knowledge. The tasting this Wednesday offers the chance to cheat the first week of winter by warming you from the inside out. A little pricey, but at the end your new ability to gravely swirl a tumbler of golden liquid will be a great party trick.

THURSDAY JUNE 6TH

The Great Gatsby

Last week, Australian export Baz Lurhman released his version of a great American classic: The Great Gatsby, a story of love, a story of loss. Whether it’s a hate-watch fuelled by literary contempt or a love of the sound and spectacle which drives them, this movie is a must-see. Watch it at Melbourne Central and enjoy the one dollar champagne at Asian Beer Cafe Ladies Night like a real flapper.
