Bruichladdich Releases Black Art 06.1
Progressive Hebridean distillers Bruichladdich has released the sixth edition of Black Art 06.1. This 26-year old unpeated Islay single malt whisky is the latest incarnation of a legendary line of spirits; its cask history is a well-kept secret by Bruichladdich’s head distiller, Adam Hannett.
Boasting a rich nose of black charred oak with blackberry jam, dark chocolate, and raisins, notes of marzipan and lemon meringue pie give sweetness and tell of the Bruichladdich DNA working with the casks (there’s probably some sherry involved!). Only 18,000 of the 06.1, individually numbered, will be available worldwide, so be sure to snag a bottle.
The Bruichladdich Black Art 06.1 is now available at $650 nett for a 700ml bottle at La Maison du Whisky. Connoisseurs can also savour this limited edition whisky by the dram at Jigger and Pony, 165 Tanjong Pagar Rd, Singapore 088539 for $79++ per 45ml.
Weekend Brunch at SKAI
Level up your weekend brunch at SKAI with craft cocktails, fine wines, champagne, and of course a beautiful backdrop. Their brunch menu offers exquisite dishes beyond the regular eggs benedict affair, such as Wagyu Beef Tataki with pickled eryngii and ponzu, and Black Cod Fish accompanied by potato and sweet corn. Sweet notes are provided by SKAI’s Chef Koo Jee, winner of the Singapore Pastry Cup 2017. Priced at $118++ per person for unlimited food and house wines, an additional $50++ per person will score you free flow champagne and cocktails, including the Breakfast Bellini, which puts a twist to the classic with its recipe of wheat vodka, toasted oats, honey, apricot, and champagne.
