With a vision to add zest and zeal to the lives of passionate Whisky drinkers in Kota Kinabalu, Shangri-La’s Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa will launch its very own exclusive “Whisky Club” on 22 November 2008 at the resort’s Borneo Lounge and Bar. The event is co-sponsored by Riche Monde, Asiaeuro, Maxxium and Diageo.
The essence of the resort’s “Whisky Club” is to give its members the opportunity to nurture their knowledge of fine whiskies, get special discounts on whiskies, attend whisky presentations and be expertly introduced to world-class bourbons and whiskies.
Highlight of the event will be the presentation of a four-and-a-half litre bottle of The Macallan to Shangri-La’s Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa’s “Whisky Club” by Mr. Ivan Ong, marketing director of Maxxium Marketing, while the resort’s “Whisky Club” will present the Glen Grant 1958 to members.
Glen Grant 1958 is an old whisky distilled by Glen Grant, a distillery in the town of Rothes in Speyside, Scotland. This rich whisky has complex flavours of sweet sherry and hints of apples and pears.
The evening will also reveal a kaleidoscopic journey for all invited guests where they will get to savour the great backbone taste of Whyte & Mackay’s 13-year-old blended Scotch whisky. This special whisky is known for its polished and elegant smell, where the spirit rises gently to reveal its long age in wood. Some round sherry wood tones are also apparent, giving it a distinguished graceful smoothness.
Whisky Club members will also get to taste the aromatic Glenmorangie malt whisky, which is well-known among whisky connoisseurs as a liquid catalyst that ignites and illuminates all senses of its drinkers.
The Famous Grouse Malt Whisky (18 years), Highland Park Single Malt Whisky (18 Years), Maker’s Mark Bourbon and many other premium whiskies to be paired with some dishes specially created for the evening will also be served to the “Whisky Club” members during the event.
Susy Thomas, a songwriter-singer from London, will entertain members with her soulful music throughout the evening. She has been all over the world during her musical career and has worked with Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, Michael Kamen and Lestyn Polson. She has also spent time writing and recording in the USA.
Prime whiskies, sumptuous food and awe-inspiring entertainment – these are all offered to the members of Shangri-La’s Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa’s exclusive Whisky Club.
