Happening right now in Bangsar South at S’Mores is the deal of the month!
Only $12 NETT for an ice cold Guinness Draft, all day, all nite. Goin on for the entire month of March.
Arr!
And over at Jarrod & Rawlins (D’sara Heights), today (Thu) sees a St Patrick’s party from 6pm, with free/cheap Guinness, foodstuff, stand-up comedy & more.
'Perfect pint'?? Isn't that extinct? Very misleading term, GAB. It's not "responsible".
Go delve into the darkness of Guinness. Try and survive.
This is a super-premium, triple-distilled tequila from the town of Tequila, Mehico.
It’s from the Sauza family, the people who bring us Sauza tequila, which is the house-pouring and cocktail base at Frontera Bar & Grill in Jaya One.
The last time i was at this Tex-Mex joint, i got blasted (tx to Kenny Sia) on some crazy Mexican chili called habanero, and tequila of course.
Ramesh of Frontera introduces us to the first of two Tres Generaciones, the Reposado (which means it’s aged between two months and a year). This one did four months in American oak. Obviously it’s 100% agave.
Reposado
The bottle is cool, like some ol skool Aztec shit. Funny, i just talked about the Aztecs in a recent post.
It has a citrusy nose, while very easy on the palette. You can swirl it around your mouth without any facial reaction then swallow. It’s got a smooth, and a lil spicy finish. No salt or lime necessary of course.
Yup, a tequila that can be sipped. But as it’s the super premium range of Sauza, expect to pay 50 bucks a shot.
The other one is the Anejo (meaning aged minimum of one year, but less than three years).
Style
The Anejo has a caramel tinge, but is less sweet and spicier. This one did 12 months in toasted American oak.
Frontera makes all its margarita from Sauza gold (which is 100% agave tequila), so u can be sure its good shit. And, rather than regular sugar syrup, the cocktail is sweetened with imported agave nectar. It tastes like herbally honey. Awesome flavour. Almost like a Ricola! Haha
And the margaritas are made with fresh lime juice. No cordial crap. A pitcher is 110++ (7.5 shots of Sauza).
Special
Frontera has the $50 for 3 deal for Guinness etc all day. Happy hours is 5-9pm, where margaritas are 2+1.
There are a total of 11 different tequila here (including Patron), besides a wide range of Mexican food. The nachos platter kicks ass.
Brain damage: 7.5/10
Johnnie Walker Blue Label, the cream of whiskies, has created a premium range of products to go with the whisky.
Nice
The Porsche Design Studio, created in 1972 by Dr FA Porsche (whose cool granddad designed my cool car), has collaborated with JW to produce the ‘Blue Label Collection by Porsche Design Studio’ – four fancy collector’s items, including a luxurious ‘mini’ bar.
Chillin with the Chiller
The design classics from the Collection are the Cube, the Mini Cube and Chiller. All three follow the blend of beauty and functionality epitomized by The Private Bar, fusing the classic and the modern through luxurious leather and brushed metals.
The Mini Cube
They’re priced from $860 for the Chiller, which i think is real cool and a good deal. The bottle’s case opens up to double as an ice bucket!
The Cube
The Private Bar? It’s this eight-foot tall bar in a vertical cube. Hit a button, and the cube’s top rotates automatically and opens up to reveal a luxurious bar, with a couple of Blue Label bottles, four glasses and an ice bucket, ready to rock. An alcohol Robocop.
The tall, robotic bar, aka Porsche Design Studio Collection Private Bar
It’s crafted from the finest materials, including luxurious leather and brushed titanium. Also has a chiller built-in.
Strictly for Blue Label
If you get order one, JW will throw in an ultimate Blue Label luxury experience in Scotland giving you access to the secrets behind the Walker family’s blending crafts and some of Porsche’s most powerful cars.
But at 500 grand apiece, you better be a multi-millionaire eh?
Johnnie Walker’s limited edition Double Black blend that has taken the travel retail market by storm launched in Malaysia Thursday at 21, BSC.
Sudah mari
It’s been available since Nov last year at duty-free, and was meant to be exclusive to that segment, but not anymore.
Should be enough for our table
“Overwhelming demand dictated that it should be introduced to a wider audience but still as a limited edition targeting key gifting occasions,” says Charles Wright, JW brand manager.
Charles, a major fan of the DB
It uses whiskies from Scotland’s west coast, thus making it peatier, smokier and more intense. I enjoy it with water. Anyway i reviewed it a few months back here.
The bottle is nice – shape-wise, the same at the Black Label, with a charcoal tint. Labelling is a lil different. ABV is unchanged at 40%.
We also enjoyed a guided tasting session
U can get your thirsty throats satisfied with this award-winner at Cold Storage, Jusco, Sunshine and other retailers. Recommended retail price is about $209.
U want it, get it, coz it’s estimated to run locally until CNY 2012.
