The Old Scotch and the Sea

Overview

As part of Melbourne's most fabulous week of drinking, World Class Cocktail Week, there's a special event going for those keen on great scotch and equally brilliant food. Saint Crispin's Joe Grbac and Thomas Olive's Alan Mulvihill will join forces to create an evening fit for King Neptune himself — if he could drink Talisker, of course.

The Old Scotch and the Sea, a playful take on a famous Hemmingway title, is far more harmonious than the novel in its pairing of delicious scotch and sweet and juicy seafood. Grbac and Mulvihill will be serving up four courses, including dishes such as Marron tail, chicken liver parfait, fricassee of pine mushrooms, buttered hand-rolled macaroni and sesame seed crumble.

If that’s not enough to make your mouth water, the menu is designed to pair perfectly with the Isle of Skye-born Talisker Storm Scotch Whisky. Sounds like the perfect storm to us.
