An evening of experimentation, re-invention and innovation with Glenfiddich

Vanshika believes in the age old saying 'change is the only constant' and therefore, being inspired by the Glenfiddich Experiments, the Chef curated an exclusive culinary experience for the evening in tandem with the ingredients that went into the making of 3 elixirs, i.e. Sweet Obsession, Dufftown Confluence and Bittersweet Symphony. The elixirs were integrated into the essence of the dishes on the menu for the evening. With a live canapé counter, the Chef prepared various interesting canapé serves with elixirs. For dessert, the guests could select their choice of elixir to enhance the flavour of their pick.
