A Whisky Tasting Experience Above Melbourne

Step into Altus Bar & Lounge for a month-long celebration of The Balvenie, where exceptional single malt Scotch whisky meets the art of chocolate pairing.

Discover two distinctive expressions from The Balvenie portfolio, each carefully paired with a decadent Koko Black chocolate to complement its character and flavour profile.

The Tasting

The Balvenie DoubleWood 12-Year-Old
Matured in two distinct casks, The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 brings a honey-smooth backbone with layers of sweet sherried fruit and warming cinnamon spice. It is paired with a Koko Black Whipped Caramel Mousse Milk Chocolate, creating a rich and indulgent combination.

The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14-Year-Old
Finished in a rum cask, The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 offers rich, sweet and creamy toffee notes with a fresh tropical taste. The whisky is paired with Koko Black Caramelised Coconut Chocolate, bringing together its warm sweetness and tropical character.

Presented as a Balvenie Tasting Paddle, the experience invites guests to explore each whisky alongside its curated chocolate pairing, with tasting notes provided to guide the experience.

Whether you’re a whisky enthusiast or simply looking to discover something new, settle into Altus and experience The Balvenie through a considered pairing of whisky and chocolate, high above Melbourne.

Available for a limited time at Altus Bar & Lounge.

Tasting Paddle | $25 per person
