“Deep Dive” with The Glenturret Distillery – Bahrain

In collaboration with The Domain Hotel & Spa, we hosted the first of our whisky and food pairing experiences in what we like to call our “Deep Dive” sessions.

Focusing on the iconic whiskies from The Glenturret distillery’s iconic “2020 Maiden Release” core range; each of the whiskies were paired with food dishes carefully curated by the F&B team of The Domain to let their unique flavours bloom.

4 whiskies were offered along with food pairing:

Triple Wood paired with Cheese Dip With Toasted French Baguette
Peat Smoked paired with Pan Seared Norwegian Salmon
12yo paired with US Tenderloin Steak
15yo paired with Strawberry Sorbet

Owing to our affinity to experiment with the spirits, our guests also had the privilege of trying and tasting a rather rare 13-Year-Old Highland Park, exclusively bottled for the 10th year anniversary of Le Clos. This limited edition is bottled at cask strength of 59.1% volume, with only 644 bottles to have been ever produced. Pairing the Highland Park Le Clos edition with BirkenTree Birch Water was an endearing experiment, effortlessly revealing the many hidden layers of the malt.
