Newport World Resorts’ latest signature bar and lounge raises a glass of liquid gold to celebrate International Whisky Day. This March 27, The Whisky Library invites the connoisseurs and curious alike to indulge in this curated list of its finest expressions.
Beginning with the Whisky Wonder, an original cocktail that blends the full-bodied flavor of Tamnavulin Double Cask Single Malt with the nuanced sweetness of pomegranate, grenadine, and vanilla. As a final touch, the hint of lemon provides a bright and zesty contrast to the rich whisky and fruity combination. Inspired by a superhuman heroine, the Whisky Wonder serves as a double celebration of Women’s Month and International Whisky Day. Cheers to the strength of womanhood and the robust character of single malt for PHP 520 nett.
Within The Whisky Library’s vast collections are whisky flights, a series of three samples of different whiskies, offering a tasting experience that transcends time.
One to look out for is The Balvenie flight for PHP 1,950 nett. Each pour comes from its renowned distilleries in Scotland with its “Five Rare Crafts” philosophy, emphasizing the traditions of whisky-making. First on the flight is 12 Years Doublewood, the perfect introduction to The Balvenie’s signature style, boasting notes of honey, vanilla, and subtle spices. Followed by 14 Years Caribbean Cask that hints of its tropical finish with toffee, sweet oak, and a fruity character that develops with time. For last, the 16 Years French Oak tastes of almond pastries, honeyed apricot, geranium, and buttery vanilla with a citrusy finish.
Another highly-regarded single malt flight from the Scottish Highlands is Glengoyne, known best for its unhurried distillation process and maturation in sherry-seasoned oak casks. 12 Years stands first in line, bringing a balance of apple, ginger, and shortbread flavors, while the 15 Years gives a more mature experience from its rich layers of dried fruits and spicy oak finish. 18 Years closes off this flight, a well-aged expression with a symphony that starts with macerated fruits, marzipan, and walnuts to warm spices, dry cocoa, and lingering Seville marmalade that defines this Highland gem. Expect a flavorful craftsmanship in the Glengoyne flights for PHP 1,700 nett.
