'Whisky Week' adds a wee dram to the glam

MAKE a note of it for your calendars. Stairght after St Patrick's Day, Sydney hosts a new, unofficial week-long celebration which we at Confidential have started calling Whisky Week.

This week it was kick-started with a Drambuie party, an event to announce two new additions to the Drambuie family: Drambuie 15 and The Royal Legacy of 1745 both created to appeal to the liqueur connoisseurs (as opposed to the cheap drunk to whom we often preach).

The Royal Legacy of 1745 is described as the world's finest cask infused malt whisky liqueur and only 2250 bottles have been produced 500 of which (at $199.99 a pop) have found their way to Australia.

Then from whisky to whiskey, last night the drinks were on Jack Daniel's for it's one-night-only taste makers exhibition at Byron Kennedy Hall at the Entertainment Quarter, in what organisers had dubbed the "Theatre of Jack" a bast space filled withe leather counches, fireside niches and clinking glasses.
