Blind whisky tasting at NOX

Blind whisky tasting, anyone? It will be an experience for sure!

Our friends from Distilled partner with Nox Dine in the Dark to bring you a very special experience on 8 September.

Nox is well known for its unique dining experience in Singapore. You will have to take a plunge into an intriguing new world of mystery and sensation you have never experienced before, and join the NOX team on a culinary journey through taste, smell, touch and sound, in total darkness. Seated in their pitch-black dining room, you will be guided and served by blind or visually impaired individuals who have been specially trained to offer guidance and reassurance to sighted guests.

It is a truly human experience when the roles are reversed and the blind become your eyes, opening your mind to a deeper consciousness. This affinity leads to mutual trust and respect, and a realization of the value of their work and overall ability to carry out tasks. 

Now, together with boutique spirits marketeers and distributors Distilled, Nox will translate its culinary experience into the spirits world. Taste five different excellent Scotch whiskies and if you pair them correctly you get to walk away with a bottle.

​Join the fun:

Lost Distillery - Towiemore

SGD120.00

Half of Scotland’s distilleries have been destroyed or lost forever. The Lost Distillery Company’s archiving team research these lost legends to understand the style of whisky they might have produced.
​
The whisky is brought to life through a marriage of aged single malts that reflects old style whisky using modern whisky making techniques. The whiskies are not chill filtered for maximum flavour. The breadth of flavour reflect all of Scotland’s producing regions across Seven Lost Distillery Company brands.
​
The Black bottles reflect original glass used centuries ago with each Victorian label colour uniquely linked to the story of each whisky.

Wolfburn Aurora

SGD130.00

Wolfburn, located in Thurso, Caithness,  is the most northerly whisky distillery on the Scottish mainland. Originally founded in 1821, it was one of the biggest in Scotland in its day. Today, Wolfburn has been re-awakened under the guiding hand of master distiller Shane Fraser and is once again making truly exceptional single malt scotch whisky. It’s all done the traditional way: by hand, using only the finest ingredients, and without haste.

AURORA

​​​This beautiful sherried whisky is made from spirit laid down in a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. Benefitting from long fermentation and slow, gentle distillation, the spirit is laid down on-site in our purpose-built warehouses. At the end of the maturation process, the casks are brought together to create an exceptionally smooth and perfectly balanced dram.

​​ON THE NOSE
Sherry sweetness followed by aromas of freshly cut grass and autumn fruits, with just a hint of coffee and dark chocolate.

ON THE PALATE
Floral notes come to the fore, with overtones of spice and vanilla. Fruity sweetness coats the palate, with fruit and nut flavours leading to a warm, soft finish.

700 ml / 46% ABV
Non-chill filtered
