Quaich Bar held a mini Chinese New Year celebration. The owners were really kind and treated us to the famous roast meats from Tiong Bahru Market.
They also picked out an assortment of Chinese New Year snacks and pastries for sampling. Normally, I avoid these pastries. But put a different marketing spin on it, tell me that it complements whisky; I'll think about eating it. Strangely, the snacks and roast meats went really well with the Bowmore 16 y.o, Auchentoshan Threewood and PC6.
The thing that really got my attention was the Bowmore 12 y.o marmalade. It was sweet and tangy altogether! Held together by pectin, this marmalade was absolutely pleasing. We wanted to get a couple of bottles for the friends. But the marmalade wasn't available for retail. The owners brought only a couple of bottles back from Scotland for their personal stash.
Bowmore really has an awesome range of whisky flavors that match different foods. I do love this distillery's expressions quite a bit.
