Coming Up
Whisky Uncovered: Spring Symphony @ Vessel, Sydney Harbour, NSW
Spring Symphony is a whisky event series elevating the experience of whisky appreciation to new heights, across both urban and rural landscapes. The city experience will be held at the wonderful Vessel Bar and Dining, nestled in an exclusive location next to Sydney Harbour. In a global first, guests will enjoy a spectacular 5-course whisky/food pairing degustation while enjoying the live, emotive sounds of classical Danish musicians Whisky Sound and fabulous single malt whisky from The Balvenie.
Music is something that connects us all, much like food. And so, why not combine the two?
Based in Copenhagen, musicians Niels Dalum and Nikolaj Kynde are Whisky Sound. Whisky Sound is a multi-sensory experience where all aspects of whisky’s taste are explored and put into music. Whisky is especially suitable for sound conversion, as it has a taste that lingers on the palate, evolving over time, as with a piece of music.
As part of the Whisky Sound experience, each whisky has unique music composed specifically for its taste, aroma and development and this is then performed live for guests while they enjoy the bespoke whisky and food pairings.
