The Balvenie x Cure: Handcrafted by Chef Andrew Walsh
The Handcrafted By platform by Balvenie and MICHELIN Guide returns with a collaboration with Chef -owner Andrew Walsh of Cure. He has crafted two dishes and a whisky-based cocktail that are all paired with The Balvenie’s roster of storied whiskies. For the main course, salmon is cured, brushed with The Balvenie 14 Year Old The Week of Peat, cold-smoked, and then hot-smoked. His second dish is a dessert presented inside a box and is inspired by his childhood winter memories with his father. Charcoal dough is cut into small logs to resemble peat and then deep-fried and filled with a peat-smoked milk ice cream. They are served with The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old to enhance the smoky aroma. The whisky’s vanilla and cinnamon notes lift the dessert. Lastly, to celebrate its recent MICHELIN Star accolade, Chef Walsh and his team have crafted a cocktail called Star in Orbit, a playful take on a whisky sour.
Price: S$396++ for the three dishes available as part of a full menu with alcohol pairing of a dram of The Balvenie 12-Year-Old DoubleWood, one dram of The Balvenie 14-Year-Old Caribbean Cask, one Star in Orbit cocktail, and other complementary pairings.
Date: 21 February 2022 to 21 April 2022
Venue: Cure, 21 Keong Saik Rd., Singapore 089128.
