This Friday evening was a special Friday evening because it
marked the second round of the celebrations related to the #LoveScotch
Movement! And Like the previous one, this event was star studded too!
Bangalore witnessed Singer Anushka Manchanda’s awesome performance
along with Mentalist Nakul Shenoy’s mesmerizing revelations of what’s going on
inside a person’s mind!
This week we did not get a chance to get a one to one
interview but we did get to go pub hopping!
We started from The Permit Room, where Anushka mixed up an
exotic cocktail with the help of United Spirits Reserve Brand Ambassador Andrew
Qadri. She tried her hand at making the West Coast Julep where the base alcohol
was the iconic Johnnie Walker black label.
From The Permit Room, we moved onto the second place in the
list of our pub hop, Arbor! There we got to know a little about both Anushka
and Nakul’s thoughts on whiskey! Like Anushka said, “Scotch is the world’s
favourite whisky and my love for it is timeless. My father’s favourite Scotch
Whisky is Johnnie Walker Black Label and hence mine too!
Whenever and wherever
I globe trot I always bring him a bottle of his favorite Scotch Whisky
and It’s almost like a ritual now. It’s the first whisky I knew, and the
one I enjoy sipping the most.” I think that is why she chose to make a cocktail
with this whisky as the base!
Conversing with Anushka, Nakul opened about his choices and preferences.
He said “I enjoy and savour my glass of Vat69 Scotch Whisky. It embodies the
spirit of being unique and doing things differently which resonates with me.
The pub crawl was amazing fun and a great way to showcase our love for Scotch
Whisky. I now realize it is no easy task to make cocktails as it needs skill
and technique to do so. Whether neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail, there is
no right or wrong way to drink Scotch whisky, as long as you enjoy it, that’s
all that matters.”

After this, Nakul went ahead and tried his hand at making a
drink out of the Black Dog Black Reserve! He made a drink infused with
cinnamon, called Sunset Cinnamon.
After this Anushka and Nakul left the pub crawl with a performance
each! Anushka broke into an impromptu performance, a small one, but great
nonetheless. Nakul read minds of two people and it was really fun to watch!
The Night ended on a Musical note with Love of Scotch and
music! I had a nice time this week and will definitely look forward to the next
pub crawl this Friday! For all the inside scope follow me on snapchat at – priyanjana_mns

Loads of love,
