Guests got the opportunity to explore how the range of Ballantine’s whiskies pair with diverse gourmet finger-foods. This was followed by an interactive question and answer session.

The high-end luxury watch brand, Ethos Watch Boutiques (Omega’s authorized retailer) backed the event by displaying some of its swanky pieces for the guests. 

Addressing the attendees, James Arney shared, “It's always a pleasure coming to Punjab, the hospitality and warmth that you get from the locals is unrivalled. Plus the well known drinking of the Patiala peg is one to always bring me back. The match between drinking luxury whisky in such a luxurious environment is attained remarkably at the Ireo water front property. During my travels I have not yet stumbled upon such an exciting concept.”
