Whisky and Diwali

I have been lucky enough to be invited to Whyte and Mackay HQ this

week! The event is to celebrate the 30 year olds win at the international spirit's challenge and Diwali, the Indian festival of light.

If you have seen Richard Patersons website recently (www.themasterblender.com), you would have noticed he has been busy pairing Indian food and Scotch whisky. You can watch his youtube video here. http://tinyurl.com/yk3kwyr

Diwali is a national celebration in India with the most significant spiritual meaning being the celebration of "the awareness of the inner light". As we can imagine plenty of food will be be consumed during the fireworks. Lots of sweet "nibbles" and street style food.

I'm looking forward to seeing the sample room at Whyte and Mackay and listening to Richard talk us through each of the W&M range. This, of course, will be especially good with the food treats for Diwali! I'll take plenty of pictures and do a full report on here after the event. Be sure to keep an eye on Twitter as i'll keep you updated as the night progresses. Might even nip down the "Nevis" for a few drams afterwards.

In the mean time, If you have any questions you would like me to forward on to Richard, drop me a line.
