It was another intimate and spirited evening filled with merriment and delectable insights into the world of fine whisky. Hosted by Singapore Tatler and The Macallan, this whisky pairing dinner at modern Italian restaurant 28 Wilkie put the spotlight on the exceptional oak casks the feted Speyside distillery uses to make its prized range of whiskies, including a couple of special releases chosen for the curated feast.

The revelry began with the always easy to appreciate The Macallan—Double Cask 12 Years Old, which was also paired with the first course of abalone and karasumi (mullet roe). This was followed by the Triple Cask Matured 15 Years Old, and it was equally delicious with the restaurant’s signature sakura ebi capellini. It was, however, the final two whiskies that stole the show—the Rare Cask and the Reflexion. Not only did both showcase two of The Macallan’s defining strengths—sherry seasoned oak casks and natural colour—they were also fine examples of the amazing range of non-age statement whiskies the brand has in its growing portfolio.
