A World of Whiskey in One Night
The After Dark Edition is all about exploring the depth, complexity, and character of dark spirits. For our kickoff, we’ve curated an extraordinary lineup of whiskeys from around the globe—each one telling its own story of history and craftsmanship, Guests will sip and savor:
Laphroaig Scotch Whiskey (Scotland) – Known for its smoky, peaty intensity and briny undertones, this Islay Scotch is bold, unforgettable, and a true classic.
Blackland Butter Pecan Bourbon Whiskey (Texas, USA) – A smooth American whiskey with a southern twist, offering nutty sweetness and creamy dessert-like notes that delight the palate.
Suntory Whisky (Japan) – Refined, harmonious, and elegantly balanced, this Japanese favorite reflects centuries of dedication to precision and artistry.
Brenne French Whiskey (France) – A unique single malt matured in cognac casks, bursting with fruit and floral flavors that showcase French luxury in every sip.
Together, these four pours create a global portrait of whiskey—smoky, sweet, refined, and elegant—all enjoyed in one carefully curated evening.
Paired with Decadent Bites
To elevate the experience, each whiskey will be paired with thoughtful bites crafted to enhance its unique flavors. Think indulgent, playful, and refined all at once:
Dark chocolate espresso beans – the perfect match for Laphroaig’s bold smoke.
Nutella biscuits – nutty, sweet, and creamy, bringing out the warmth of butter pecan whiskey.
Fresh sushi rolls – clean and delicate, pairing beautifully with Suntory’s refined balance.
Crispy risotto balls – savory and satisfying, complementing the fruit and elegance of Brenne.
Each pairing is designed to awaken your palate and create unforgettable flavor moments.
