The
Balvenie
X
Cure:
Handcrafted
by
Chef
Andrew
Walsh
Chef
Walsh
has
crafted
two
dishes
and
a
whisky-based
cocktail
that
are
all
paired
with
The
Balvenieâs
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.
âWeâre
also
going
to
glaze
it
with
molasses
treacle,
which
is
quite
popular
in
Ireland.
It
has
a
stickiness
and
umami-ness
that
pairs
greatly
with
the
smokiness
of
the
whisky.
We
add
a
bit
of
horseradish
for
some
heat
and
top
it
off
with
some
roe
and
flowers.
It's
a
dish
that
brings
back
a
lot
of
memories
from
eating
smoked
salmon
in
Ireland
when
I
was
a
child,â
Walsh
explains.
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
whiskyâs
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.
âIt
is
a
playful
take
on
a
whisky
sour,â
says
Walsh.
Using
The
Balvenie
Caribbean
Cask
14
Year
Old
as
the
base,
lime
juice,
umeshu,
honey,
sage,
and
egg
whites
are
added.
The
drink
is
given
a
dry
shake,
and
then
a
hard
shake,
before
serving.
âThe
hint
of
fruit
and
toffee
notes
from
The
Balvenie
Caribbean
Cask
14
Year
Old
provide
a
lingering
finish
to
this
cocktail,â
he
shares.
From
21
February
till
21
April
2022,
diners
can
enjoy
these
whisky-paired
delicacies
at
Cure.
The
three
dishes
will
be
available
as
part
of
a
full
menu
for
S$396++
with
alcohol
pairing
(includes
one
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).
The
Balvenie
drams
can
still
be
ordered
a
la
carte
if
diners
opt
to
order
without
the
full
alcohol
pairing.
