World’s most-wanted whisky

Checkdis out. We’ve heard of the world’s rarest, most expensive, oldest, or bla bla bla whisky, but they just unveiled the world’s largest whisky.

Dont get any wise ideas ol man. Stick to blowing dat bag

This piece is huge! You think dat four-litre bottle you bought in Zouk which came with a fuckin cradle was a bad boy? Mafucker u’ll need a forklift to serve dis one.

It’s Famous Grouse whisky, the number one Scotch in Scotland.

It holds a grand total of 228 liters of Scotch, beating Jack Daniels, which had a puny 184-liter baby. The bottle stands at 5 feet 5 inches, which is considerably taller than this Sabahan drinker dat i know.

If you got wasted every damn night (10 glasses), a normal bottle will last you 2.5 days. But it’ll be 2.5 years of haziness and pissing before u finish this one.

And it doesn’t come with a free liver.

You collectors can put your dicks back in your pants, coz it’s not for sale.

Glenmorangie rockin’

Glenmorangie threw a coupla cool parties for single malt fans recently, starting with the Orange Night.

D party went down at The Pool, this new joint that features…. a pool.

Party on

It’s part of its current campaign, with Glenmorangie described as Unnecessarily Well-Made. It’s a single malt whisky from the Highlands area in Scotland, and is the number one single malt in that country.

It’s a special whisky as after being matured in bourbon oak barrels, some variants spend additional years is Sherry casks, imparting complex and unique flavours. It pioneered this extra-maturation process.

Eh?

The Pool party was very orange, titled Retro Funk. There was also a special mix of Glenmorangie with orange peel. (glenmorange’s taste profile includes citrusy notes) – the Zest Serve, a sculptural serving stand which creates an infusion of orange zest with the whisky.

I prefer it as it is.

Zesty

A couple of people including the MC got dunked into the pool! Dats why u have a pool-side party – u gotta have some swimming.

Turnout was good. Malaysia’s Glenmorangie Facebook page was also launched.

Drinkin n spinin. Fun

This was followed by another gig a few weeks later – the Soundform Fluid Bar Showcase, @ the North Atrium of Gardens. The specially-designed bar by architect and interior designer Philip Michael Wolfson  is supposed to represent the flow of sounds when Glenmorangie is poured into a glass.

It’s a striking design, with built-in speakers that really kick some bass.

Mixologist Ben Ng was in the mix, giving tasting sessions. It was strange but nice drinking in d middle of a mall, among shoppers.

The party soon moved upstairs to Vertigo, where a couple of guys in NASA suits were on decks, Manufactured Superstars.  They rocked d house, the crowd had a blast.

Slick

Glenmorangie is actually the best-awarded single malt in 2011’s International Wines and Spirits Competition (IWSC). Their whiskies have won a grand total of 18 ‘Gold Best in Class’ medals over the past five years at the IWSC.

The Golds went to Glenmorangie Original, Nectar D’Or, 18 Years Old, Quarter Century and Signet. Quite a wide range.

No wonder it’s a popular Scotch, and now with its rockin parties, pretty cool as well.

Up up and away...
