The Glenlivet Launch!

Whoops...forgot to add another post! This one was extra special to me.....and of course...it has to do with the nectar of the God's...WHISKEY! Yes folks...THE GLENLIVET has arrived! One of the finest single malt's known to man and beast had their launch at The Arts House and of course your truly was kindly invited by Raymond to partake of the experience...and what an experience it was. As I walked into Q Bar....bumped into Peter Prentice from Pernod Ricard who was shooting some story for Channel News Asia for their program "What Men Want, Really" and was drafted in as a stunt double to taste the whiskey! Of course we then ended up chilling while waiting for 8 pm to kick off the tasting. We wondered into the Arts House and was lucky that we were let into take a peek at the actual Parliment Chamber! Of course we took full advantage of it with Raymond doing his best impression of being an MP and our guest Simon from Pernod Ricard Asia who came all the way in from Hong Kong having a chance to see this truly unique room. It was a truly wonderful experience learning about how special this fantastic tipple was made...and what topped it all of was the chance to try the full range of Glenlivets. The ultimate icing on the cake was the last glass...a glass (or two or three) of one of the most expensive Single Malts on the planet...The Cellar Collection circa 1972! Boys and girls...its $4000 bucks a bottle!!! Even Peter had not tried it yet! A truly exqusite night out on the town with a fantastic whiskey. Heavenly!
