Editor’s Note – December 2016

Tim Chew

[Editor’s Note] Just like that, 2016 is coming to a close with the new year (and new adventures) beckoning. 2016 went by in a flash and I guess it’s because I really enjoyed myself, during work (in case you didn’t know, I run the digital media Malaysia’s Hottest Bloggers – http://www.hottestbloggers.com) and also my after-work activities such as food reviews, events and parties (although I must say that I cut down on partying quite a bit). Now 2016 is not without its share of downs as the local economy and political scene is in turmoil (you can read about what … Continue reading Editor’s Note – December 2016

Martell NCF Light Up Party

Tim Chew

[Event]   Done well, secret venue parties can have quite a mysterious allure as the intrigue surrounding the venue often adds to the excitement. I haven’t attended one since the Carlsberg Where’s The Party? parties (click here to read about them) some years back therefore I was pretty excited to receive the invite to the Martell “Light Up!” party on 25 November 2016. The meet up point for this event was in Amcorp Mall in Petaling Jaya and we boarded busses to head over to the “mystery” venue. After about an hour battling the Thursday evening jam, we finally arrived at … Continue reading Martell NCF Light Up Party

Chivas Whisky Lab, The Whisky Society 2016, Straits Wine Fiesta 2016

Tim Chew

[Event] Chivas Whisky Lab   Pearl and I recently attended the Chivas Whisky Lab at HIDE at The Roof, Bandar Utama for a whisky masterclass that brought me back to my days in chemistry class. I was a science student back in secondary school as I wanted to join most of my classmates who mostly choose the science stream and I certainly had the PMR qualifications to do so. However in hindsight that proved to be quite a wrong decision as I was pretty terrible at Additional Maths, didn’t really like Biology and hated Physics class as the terms were … Continue reading Chivas Whisky Lab, The Whisky Society 2016, Straits Wine Fiesta 2016

Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve Launched in Malaysia

Tim Chew

[Event]   MHB’s Esther Ng and I attended the launch of The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve in Malaysia on 7 November 2016. The new non age statement expression from Glenlivet is a new, permanent addition to the brand’s core range, featuring the classic fruity flavours of The Glenlivet, and a tribute to its founder George Smith’s original vision to craft the definitive, smooth single malt whisky. The Founder’s Reserve stays true to The Glenlivet’s heritage, and utilises the same distilling methods used in 1824, in unique, wide lantern-shaped copper stills created by Smith himself almost 200 years ago. For this new expression, Master Distiller Alan … Continue reading Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve Launched in Malaysia
