In Goa, the tasting took place at Koi, a new âInspired Asian Diningâ restaurant in Calangute themed around the cuisine of the Oriental Silk Route, for an exclusive guest list of corporate heads, socialites and reps from the hospitality industry.
The Legacy Tasting is designed to help the definitive Speyside single malt find its way to discerning men and women across the globe.

The culinary team under the guidance of Master Sommelier Vikram Singh composed an Asian-inspired menu that complemented the exceptional quality of The Glenlivet. âThe 7-course degustation menu was based on individual pairings bearing in mind subtle nuances of spice, fruit and fragrant notes of the whiskys with bold undertones of earthy textures to not only complement but also enhance the tasting experience,â Vikram Singh said.
Shefali Gandhi Singhâs latest restaurant venture Koi (after Rockfish in Baga) hosted some of the cityâs whisky cognescenti in an intimate but glittering gathering. A Welcome Cocktail and Hors Dâouvres were followed by a sit-down 7-course menu and a course-by-course discourse on the pairing by Alex Robertson. The evening started with The Glenlivet 12, 15 and progressed to The Glenlivet 18 by the main course and a post dessert toast of The Glenlivet 21. The evening turned out to be a grand soiree and everyone present was appreciative of the complexity, versatality and the confluence of a myriad range of flavours throughout the tasting and pairing.
