  • The Balvenie Stories

    The Balvenie has launched The Balvenie Stories; a new collection of single malt whiskies, with each expression telling a human story, evolving with the protagonists and developing unexpected twists through years of maturation. The collection offers an intimate glimpse into the unique and very human nature of how The Balvenie produces whisky, showcasing its continued drive to put people at the heart of its brand. Highlighting the parallels between whisky making and storytelling, The Balvenie upholds age-old traditions while challenging and testing their limits, offering twists on a familiar narrative, all with the goal of making the perfect single malt whisky. This storytelling theme is central to The Balvenie Stories range; each new expression representing a compelling production story: 26-year-old A Day of Dark Barley: The arrival of a batch of dark roasted malted barley, more commonly used in the production of stout, at the distillery marked the beginning of a 26-year-long experiment. The result was a pleasing depth – smokiness and oakiness as well as the classic honey, vanilla and citrus flavours. Through a storytelling night hosted at Straits Clan, these two whisky expressions were officially launched on 6 and 7 November 2019, where guests discovered whisky tales of craft, endeavour and unexpected twists narrated by James Cordiner and Ross Blainey, The Balvenie Brand Ambassadors for Southeast Asia and Australia respectively. To give an intimate, sincere and handcrafted experience, each story is enhanced with a culinary and experiential dish by Charles Tan, chef- owner of FATCAT Ice Cream Bar, and accompanying live music by Vishaal Raj with the help of The General Co, a collective of new generation craftsmen, artisans and designers. Gemma Paterson, The Balvenie Global Brand Ambassador says: “The Balvenie Distillery is built on stories – they are our lifeblood. In today’s increasingly automated world, it’s our craftspeople’s pursuit, passion and endeavour that makes our liquid so unique. The Balvenie Stories collection lets us celebrate storytelling in all forms – from our distillery, Speyside and all across the world. We’re delighted to be partnering with some of the world’s best storytellers to bring this to life and look forward to sharing this unique collection of untold tales – the perfect accompaniment to a dram of our whisky.” The storytelling theme is threaded through the design of The Balvenie Stories packaging too, with each tale represented visually on the whisky’s tube and label in bespoke illustrations from British artist and printmaker Andy Lovell. Andy’s work draws its inspiration direct from the distillery, where he spent time listening to the stories first-hand, before using his bold, hand-made gestural technique to build up images that capture the essence of each tale. “At The Balvenie, we believe that each whisky tells a story based on the men and woman that have been involved in every part of the process from growing and malting the barley to crafting the casks that the whiskies sleep and mature in. The Balvenie Stories collection is a unique and special way for us to offer whisky drinkers an exclusive look into the craft and craftspeople behind our whiskies. Aside from the new, limited release liquids to enjoy, we are also glad to be able to bring whisky enthusiasts something they can also enjoy outside the glass,” said James Cordiner, The Balvenie Brand Ambassador, Southeast Asia. The Week of Peat (14 year old) and A Day of Dark Barley (26 year old) from The Balvenie Stories collection are now available at various bars and retail outlets including Cooperage, LMDW, Malts, Straits Clan, The Connoisseur Divan, The Joint, The Wall, The Winery*, Tipple & Dram, 1855 and 75CL. As part of the campaign, The Balvenie will also launch its first ever collection of short stories that explores what it is to have, and pursue, a goal or a dream. The book, Pursuit – The Balvenie Stories Collection, is edited by award-winning author and journalist Alex Preston, and contains a series of fiction and non-fiction stories contributed by celebrated authors from around the world, including international best-selling writer Lawrence Osbourne, Yan Ge, an award-winning author and one of China’s most promising writers, acclaimed Malaysian novelist Tash Aw, and many more. Taking inspiration from The Balvenie’s own pursuit of perfection, contributing authors were briefed to craft tales of perseverance, tenacity, determination and resolve. Pursuit – The Balvenie Stories Collection, sold at The Balvenie distillery and available worldwide on Amazon will be the perfect literary accompaniment to a dram of The Balvenie Stories whisky.

  • JOHN WALKER & SONS : XR 21

    Coming from a history of well-preserved 200-year-old heritage, John Walker & Sons XR 21 boasts in its renowned craftsmanship and takes pride in preserving rare, traditional craft as evidenced in the blending method and exceptional liquids with extremely limited quantities. Meticulously crafted through an exquisite and extremely rare (X.R.) three-stage blending process of whiskies that are a minimum of 21 years old for John Walkers & Son XR 21, it layers multiple styles and flavour profiles in three stages, resulting in a smooth blend. XR21 Each whisky is carefully chosen to complement one another in this exquisite XR 21 blend and includes whisky from distilleries that are no longer in operation (e.g. Port Dundas) and famous Speyside malts Mortlach and Cardhu. Flavour Profile : At first breath, the golden liquor gives off an aroma of rich vanilla and toffee with notes showcasing sugar, tempered spices and caramel, which eventually gives way to a whiff of fresh satsumas, baked apple, plump raisins, creamy chocolate and delicate smoke.With smooth dimensions of rich fruits and a long warming finish, the XR 21 dances on the palate in a subtle tapestry of peatiness and is best enjoyed neat at ambient temperature paired with a highball glass of freshly siphoned soda water. https://www.johnniewalker.com/en-in/our-whisky/john-walker-and-sons/xr-21/

  • Aqina Farm Chicken

    From a gastronomic viewpoint, the choice of chicken and how it is bred and fed becomes a prominent feature on it’s taste, structure and delicacy. As such, we have decided to feature our partner, Aqina Farm Chicken and the goodness found in this amazing culinary product. What we found amazing is what they use to feed their chickens and the resultant taste that is achieved, especially when it is steamed, with natural aromatic sweet taste, and tender texture in the “kampung chicken” style – simply bagus! Aqina Farm Singapore focuses on bringing fresh and healthier food from farm to table, that does not compromise on its taste.

  • Taratata Brasserie : Review

    The kitchen at Taratata Bistrot is helmed by the Executive Chef and Owner, Mr Bertrand Raguin, a Frenchman who has worked as a Chef de Cuisine in many fine dining restaurants across South East Asia. The front of house is manned by the legendary Kevin Gueugnon – Restaurant Manager and Sommelier, who has had previous stints with Gunthers, Brasserie Gavroche and the 1 Michelin Star Hotel La Villa in Calvi, Corse France. We started off our evening cocktail pre dinner drinks with one of our favourite Champagne Houses, Billecart Salmon Vintage 2007. Sharp, dry and the attack on the palatte was amazing for a Champagne of such great structure and quality. We started off the Champagne pairing with the fresh oysters $8. Big, round and juicy oysters that blended really well with the vintage Champagne. Warm starters was next. Pan Seared Foie Gras $28 – this was crispy on the outside and melts on the inside. Brilliantly executed by Chef Bertrand. We will be back for more helpings for sure. 1/2 dozen Escargots baked in Parsley and Garlic Butter. Ooh this paired really well with the Champagne as well. The highlight of the evening. We decided to order the Chateau Prieure Lichine Margaux 2013 $190 to pair with our mains. Kevin automatically came by with a decanter and offered to decant the wine. Wow this is really great customer service! The first main was a Duck Confit with Morel Mushrooms Sauce and Green Beans and Sarladaise Potatoes. Again the yardstick barometer of any Duck confit is that it must be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside This dish passed muster on all fronts. Wow! The final main course was an Angus Ribeye with Bordelaise Sauce, Bone Marrow, Green Beans and French Fries. A fitting main course to end off the evening and pair with the Grand Cru Classe Wine. We were super full and stuffed with our stomachs by now and decided to skip the desserts. We will be back for more for sure! For Reservations: Taratata Bistrot: 35A Keong Saik Road, 089142 Taratata.sg Tel: +65 6221 4506 Opening Hours: (Tues to Fri & Public Holidays) 11.30am – 3pm, 5.30pm – 12am, (Sat) 5.30pm – 12am, (Sun) 11.30am – 3pm, 5.30pm – 10.30pm, Closed on Mon
