The Macallan range of single malt whiskies from Speyside, Scotland, the single malt against which all others are judged, according to Whisky Magazine. The Macallan commands the attention of discerning whisky aficionados across the world.
On 5th August, The Westcliff’s elegant Ballroom will be transformed into three “maturation zones”, where guests will discover and learn the art of whisky appreciation, tasting the traditional Sherry Oak and the recently released Fine Oak range.
Traditionally The Macallan whiskies are matured in Oloroso Sherry Oak from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, creating a rich, spicy, intense, “big” whisky. In contrast, the newly released Fine Oak range undergoes a triple cask maturation process, which includes bourbon cask maturation using American Oak. This produces a whisky that is lighter in style, more citrusy, more malty with vanilla tones.
The captivating flavours and aromas of these fine whiskies will be complemented by a fork dinner menu, specially created by Executive Chef Nicky Gibbs. The menu includes tantalising dishes such as Loin of Kudu with Calibaut sauce, Oak Smoked Salmon with Madagascan Pepper Sauce, King Crab and Daikon Rolls, Tomaisin ice-cream and Date Cigars with Lemon Cream, and much much more.
Guaranteed to be an ideal evening's entertainment for those who enjoy the finer things in life, the evening will start at 18h30 for 19h00 on Thursday 5th August in The Westcliff’s Arcadia Ballroom at a cost of R295 per person.
The evening will begin with a short introduction by The Macallan Brand Ambassador, Niel Hendriksz, followed by tastings of a range of The Macallan single malt whiskies from both Sherry and Fine Oak casks, and served with an elegant fork dinner.
