Love, love me do
You know I love you, I'll always be true, So please, love me do, Whoa, love me do.
Nostalgic inducing lyrics aren't they.
Well, I had a nostalgic filed Saturday evening.
The occasion was a momentous one.
World Whisky Day.
United spirits launched a stellar campaign, #LoveScotch.
United spirits launched a stellar campaign, #LoveScotch.
Scotch is something we love to savor and this evening was certainly one to savor. It resonated with us whisky lovers perfectly.
The stage was set at ShangriLa Bangalore. The perfect location. Celebrities graced the occasion of this momentous launch at India's Pub Capital "Namma Bengaluru".
The Spotlight was completely focused on
International Supermodel Coco Rocha.
Bangalore heartthrob Dino Morea.
The Punjabi Beauty Mandira Bedi.
The brooding hunk Randeep Hooda.
We got to interact with them, learn about their favorite whiskey and how they like to drink them. Not to miss out the fun photo shoot getting to take #Selfies and sound bytes with these beautiful and absolutely wonderful people. So down to earth and friendly, it felt like this was more a gathering of friends which is the magic one experiences when you get to indulge in your favorite Scotch although that part was to come later.
Would you like to know how each of them prefer to have their drink? Here is how they like their Scotch:
Coco Rocha - Loves Black Label with Ginger Ale. I got to try this one and I can vouch for this. It tasted like Heaven.
Mandira Bedi - Loves Singleton with 2 blocks ice. That's it. The perfect way to savor it. Hearing about how she shares a drink with her Dad when in Delhi was a delight.
Randeep Hooda - Is a Black Dog guy. Loves it as cocktails in the day and with ice and Water in the evenings.
Dino Morea - Loves Black & White. Favorite Cocktail is Whisky Sour :)
The panel discussion and interaction between them was extremely fun and really had the crowd cheering and wanting more. Hearing about their stories, anecdotes and incidents was the highlight.
Like Randeep Hooda owns a horse called Johnnie Walker.
Mandira Bedi has a ritualistic drink with her father every time she is in Delhi.
And best of all is that when Rajiv Mehta, CEO Arvind Lifestyles ltd. was at INSEAD Singapore, he revealed professors used to allow students to drink alcohol in class if it helped them do better.
Can you believe that?
The party then moved to Skyye Bar at UB City where the crowd went crazy on spotting the celebration. People were jostling for space to get a glimpse of their favorite stars.
The finale was at Sanchos UB city where we wound down our pub crawl with more celebrity mixing and scotch tasting. I do wish we could have spent more time at the pub crawls but all in all it was an extremely memorable evening. One that has memories to cherish for a lifetime.
To top it all we got to taste some extremely brilliant cocktails made by some very talented people behind the bar. A very well put together ensemble of ingredients left everybody wanting MORE!
We also got to see the stars mixing their own drinks and creating interesting cocktails. I wish we could taste them but Dino Morea assured me that they came out really well.
Looking forward to the next one.
Looking forward to the next one.
P.S. ALWAYS #DrinkResponsibly and remember, Never Drink and Drive :)
