Hollywood actor James Marsden leads and
joins in on the festivities
Scotch, the world’s favourite whisky, will be celebrated across the globe on
Thursday February 8th with a series of red carpet, star-studded events to mark
International Scotch Day.
International
Scotch Day is a celebration of everything that gives the world’s favourite
whisky its unique character, flavour and personality - and invites adults
everywhere to raise a glass of Scotch in celebration on the day.
International Scotch Day is held during the week of the birthday of one of the
world’s most influential Master Blenders - Alexander Walker, the son of John
‘Johnnie’ Walker who brought Scotch to the world.
This
year’s celebrations will be bigger than ever, taking place in over 70 countries
worldwide – and it started with a grand kick-off party at the Manila House
Private Members Club’s in Manila last February 6, with Hollywood actor James
Marsden and Global Scotch Whisky Ambassador Ervin Trykowski leading the
festivities.
“Scotch has always been one of my favourite
drinks and I’m excited to be in the Philippines to usher in International
Scotch day celebrations with my fellow Scotch enthusiasts,” Marsden said.
“No
other spirit can offer the same range of tastes, textures and flavours such as
Scotch,” shares Trykowski. “Whether you already love Scotch or you just haven’t
found the one for you yet, LoveScotch is all about exploring those tastes and
finding the one that suits yours.”
To get
guests started on their journey to finding their Scotch of choice, Trykowski hosted several tasting
sessions to get guests acquainted with the smoky taste of Johnnie Walker Black
Label, the sweet & honeyed taste of Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve, and
the fruity taste of Singleton of Dufftown 12.
The versatility of Scotch also allows people
to enjoy their drink any way they want it, and during the kick-off party, three
of Manila’s best bars – Yes Please, 12/10, and The Curator – whipped up
cocktails to prove that Scotch can be enjoyed in a variety of ways.
LoveScotch
is about getting the world talking, thinking and trying Scotch. On February 8 - and beyond, we invite everyone to join
in, raise a glass and celebrate the world’s favourite whisky. People can participate by visiting their favourite
bar and enjoying a Scotch with friends, or posting on social media using
#lovescotch.
LoveScotch is extending the celebration this entire
month of Feb with guest bartending shifts & bar takeovers, collaboration
parties, and special offers in some of Manila’s top bars and retail stores – all to encourage everyone to discover &
explore the different flavours of Scotch and find the one that suits their
taste.
