We hope all whisky consumers enjoy the spirit of the festive season with the discerning characteristics of The Macallan and the gastronomical brilliance of Whisky Samba.”
Ashish Kapur, Restaurateur and Owner of Whisky Samba, rejoices on the collaboration with The Macallan, as he shares, “Through Whisky Samba, I wanted to create a space for malt lovers like myself to explore the fascinating world of whiskies, and understand the craft of distilling which is at the heart of exceptional single malts. It is truly my privilege to associate with a legacy brand like The Macallan which focuses on the rich heritage, character and commitment toward unrivalled quality. Strengthening The Macallan’s presence in the capital, this limited-edition pairing menu is a testament to the global identity of the discerning Indian consumer and the ever-growing market of the world’s leading whisky-consuming country.
