And there is no better place in the entire southern hemisphere to sample a tot of whisky than Cape Grace’s Bascule Bar, because there are over 400 different bottles of whisky to choose from!  If this sounds a bit overwhelming, book a guided Whisky Tasting for you and up to 20 friends for a fun practical demonstration on how to appreciate whisky.

World Whisky Day™ is the brainchild of Blair Bowman, a young whisky enthusiast, who since June 2011 has been working to make World Whisky Day™ a global success, to acknowledge those who work in the whisky industry.

 We think it’s a fine idea and to entice you to join us at Bascule to celebrate this day, we have lined up a tasting of home-grown whiskies and a menu of locally inspired dishes at R120 per person.  Look forward to musician Shen Winberg to keep you entertained with a blend of soft rock and African eccentricity while you toast the masters of malt on the water’s edge.

 In addition, just by reading our blog posts on whisky you could win tickets for 2 to the celebrations at Bascule on 27 March.  All you have to do is answer this easy question:  What bottle of whisky did we suggest goes well with gorgonzola cheese? The first correct entry emailed to us with World Whisky Day Competition in the subject line, wins.

Slainte!
