Nikka's Discover the Hidden
This whisky bar crawl-meets-cocktail treasure hunt is taking over nine top Melbourne drinking dens.
Overview
This month is set to deliver the ultimate treasure hunt for local whisky fiends, as Japanese distillery Nikka teams up with some of the city's top watering holes for two weeks of exclusive tipples.
Running from Friday, February 3–Sunday, February 19, Nikka's Discover the Hidden sees nine Melbourne venues each whipping up an exclusive sip crafted on one of the label's renowned products. And you're going to want to scout out every last one of them.
There's a whisky-based drink in this lineup for every kind of palate — whether you like the sound of Bouvardia's Australia-meets-Japan concoction blending the Nikka Coffee Malt Whisky with wattleseed shoyu and fresh wasabi, or you're tempted by Eau de Vie's fusion of sherry, maraschino and absinthe.
Whisky & Alement has created a cocktail made on Nikka's Yoichi Single Malt Whisky, coffee-infused muscat, whey and caramelised orange, while Lily Blacks' drink teams Nikka Whisky from the Barrel with strawberry shortcake, a strawberry and stout reduction, and strawberry and rhubarb bitters. Bar Margaux, Hats & Tatts, Madame Brussels, Whisky Den and Double Happiness are also joining in the fun.
Best of all? The venues are located within walking distance of each other if you find yourself in the mood for a whisky-fuelled bar crawl.
