Whisky Uncovered: Whisky Sound @ Marble Bar, Sydney, NSW
What is the sound of whisky?
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 five wonderful single malt whiskies from The Balvenie.
Whiskies on taste:
- The Balvenie 12 Doublewood
- The Balvene Caribbean Cask
- The Balvenie 21 Portwood
- The Balvenie Peated Triple Cask
- The Balvenie 17 Doublewood
Location: Marble Bar, 488 George Street, #Level B1,Sydney, New South Wales
