The Balvenie, renowned for its dedication to craftsmanship and heritage, recently introduced its rare 60-Year-Old whisky to Nigeria in a celebration of luxury, fine dining, and artistic brilliance. In partnership with Providus Bank, the exclusive invite-only event brought together an elite circle of guests for an evening that seamlessly blended rare whisky, refined pairings, and timeless artistry.
Hosted by the iconic Frank Edoho, the evening unfolded at the sophisticated DANI restaurant within the Delborough Hotel. From the moment guests arrived, they were ushered into an extraordinary journey through The Balvenie’s rich legacy, a night where every detail spoke of elegance and exclusivity. The highlight of the event was an intimate whisky tasting and the unveiling of The Balvenie 60-Year-Old expression—one of only 71 bottles in existence globally and the sole bottle allocated to Nigeria, secured by Providus Bank. This momentous occasion underscored the rarity and prestige of the whisky, drawing admiration from the distinguished audience.
The night was a masterful orchestration of craftsmanship and artistry, featuring a meticulously curated gourmet dining experience by The Balvenie Maker, Chef Stone. Each dish was designed to complement the whisky’s profound depth and complexity, creating a symphony of flavours that delighted the senses.
As the guests savoured the exceptional pairings, the atmosphere was elevated by performances that added depth to the experience. Spoken word artist Bashiru Amuneni captivated the audience with his evocative poetry, while The Blues Project filled the room with soulful sounds, blending seamlessly with the refined ambience of the evening.
