Taste of Hong Kong: ‘inside’ whisky-tasting cask with 360-degree video, scents and sounds
The Singleton of Glen Ord Single Malt Scotch Whisky’s custom-made cask forms part of annual culinary festival, from March 22 to 25
Whisky tasting is getting fancier.
Gone are the days when a whisky tasting meant that we’d be propped up at a bar, guzzling scotch while the bartender tried to talk us through the finer notes of the malts.
Now, we’re propped up at a bar inside a giant custom-made cask, surrounded by 360-degree video projection and breathing in specially tailored scents.
How times have changed.
The Taste of Hong Kong culinary festival, which runs from March 22 to 25, includes an oversized cask by The Singleton of Glen Ord Single Malt Scotch Whisky, and it’s going to be outstanding.
This giant of a cask, which can hold up to 16 guests comfortably, is designed to give tasters a holistic, multisensory experience.
Inside, you’ll be able to taste The Singleton’s 12-, 15- and 18-year-old single malts through a 15-minute experience led by the brand’s ambassador.
