New Sydney venue offers up rare whiskies
A new bar has opened in the heart of Sydney offering rare and hard to find whiskies, as well as whisky High Tea and themed masterclasses.
The Highlander Whisky Bar has opened at Sir Stamford at Circular Quay, with general manager Jacky Cheung announcing three new offerings for whisky connoisseurs including a Whisky High Tea, a ‘Whisky of the Month’, showcasing a rare and hard to find whisky from around the world, and bi-monthly Whisky Masterclasses.
“Sir Stamford at Circular Quay has already established itself as the home of great whisky events, from hosting annual whisky shows to regular Whisky & Cheese tastings,” Cheung said.
“Our Highlander Bar will offer a unique platform to build on these events, with dedicated offerings to guests and locals who share a love of fine whisky.”
The Whisky High Tea offers a bespoke twist on the hotel’s high tea offerings, with a variety of savoury dishes complemented by sweet whisky infused treats and paired with a whisky flight of three Chivas Regal varieties.
The Whisky of the Month will take pride of place in the centre of the bar and be served with tasting notes, while the Bi-Monthly Whisky Master Class will offer themed tastings with whisky connoisseur David Ligoff, co-founder of World of Whisky and owner of Alchemist Events which specialises in whisky themed functions and events.
“I’m very pleased to be working with the Highlander Bar and bringing some rare offerings to the table,” Ligoff said. “The perception is often that these whiskies will be very expensive, but this is not the case. Our research team has created a portfolio of unique whiskies, many of which have never been seen before in Australia.”
