Everyone loved it so much last year we are doing it again. It’s World Whisky Day on Saturday May 18th and we’re ready to celebrate the amazing amber elixir we all know and love.
Nikka Whisky, who boast some of the greatest Japanese whiskies in the world, are back to curate a selection of their best to pair alongside an amazing menu from Chef Stephen Clark.
Nikka Brand Ambassador Marcus Parmenter and Robata’s own Whisky lover Harry Scott are teaming up to co-host the afternoon and showcase an amazing selection of Nikka’s core range and maybe even a few limited edition drops. Public transport is a must for this one.
What’s on the menu? Nothing pairs better with a beautiful Japanese whisky than some rich, indulgent, melt-in-your mouth wagyu.
