Hosted by Exquisite Media, a sophisticated, invite-only The Macallan Master Series dinner took place on Friday 2nd March at The Plantation Grill in Seminyak to celebrate The Macallan’s fine single malt Scotch whiskies.
Enjoying a menu crafted especially for the event to pair perfectly with the whiskies, the distinguished guests spent a convivial evening beyond expectations. Opening the meal, the first entrée was cured salmon gravlax, horseradish and salmon roe accompanied by a 12 year old The Macallan Fine Oak, followed by a delightful pear salad with a 12 year old The Macallan Double Cask. The candied walnuts, blue cheese and truffle vinaigrette were especially poignant with the aromatic butterscotch and dried fruit nose of the whisky.
Next was The Macallan Rare Cask, a complex whisky drawn from 16 different types of cask so rare they are never again used in any Macallan whisky. This warming, woody whisky has a splendidly rich hue and was offset nicely by the turkey à la crème.
After a green apple sorbet palate cleanser, the grilled kiwami beef with ponzu was served with The Macallan Reflexion, an exceptional whisky showing an intricate character influenced by both Spanish and American oak casks. Bold and full-bodied, Reflexion is a celebration of floral and vanilla notes with fresh apples and apricots.
The meal ended with dark chocolate fudge with mint ice cream alongside the 12 year old The Macallan Sherry Oak, a fittingly rich gold whisky with notes of vanilla, toffee, ginger and wood smoke.
