One of the world’s leading single malt whiskies, The Macallan collaborates with the most sought-after restaurant and bar in Delhi-NCR, Whisky Samba, to curate their first limited edition pairing menu for whisky enthusiasts in the capital.

The Macallan, one of the world’s leading single malt whiskies proudly announces its collaboration with Delhi NCR’s famed restaurant and bar, Whisky Samba through an impeccably curated 5-course limited-edition pairing menu available exclusively during the festive season.

Incorporating the balanced flavour profile of The Macallan Double Cask Range, the bespoke pairing menu has been thoughtfully crafted by The Macallan and Whisky Samba for food and whisky connoisseurs of the capital. Available till 4th of January 2023, this is their first association of its kind in the Indian market.

The 200-year-old time-honoured craft of whisky making is reminiscent in the 5-course menu which features Norwegian Salmon served with a side of hiyashe wakame, Organic Broccoli marinated with kasundi mustard, New Zealand Lambchops – charred to evoke the smoky notes of The Macallan, a rich Dark Chocolate Cremeux reimagined with hazelnut micro-sponge, berry crumble and a luscious toffee sauce to compliment the sweeter notes of the single malt.

Reflecting on the association, Jodie Marriott, Brand Education Manager at The Macallan, says, “Whisky Samba is one of the most popular restro-bars in the NCR. Their philosophy is imbued with global sensibilities while offering consumers innovative and off-beat experiences. With this collaboration, we want to immerse the new wave of single malt enthusiasts in the world of The Macallan. Whisky Samba is a natural fit as it embodies The Macallan’s values of heritage, craftsmanship and dedication to pursue excellence. 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. The collaboration is the perfect union of Scottish and Indian sensibilities.”

The menu underscores the beautiful marriage of classic Macallan style and the unmistakable sweetness of American oak, matured in the perfect balance of hand-picked sherry seasoned American and European oak casks paired with the gastronomical excellence mastered by Whisky Samba. The limited-edition pairing menu gives consumers an intimate access into the world of The Macallan.
