Minerality Highball
Leaning into the dried tannic qualities of the whisky, this aperitif highball is bright, dry, earthy, and savoury. Aiming to mimic the saline qualities in Umami flavours, this serve is finished with a garnish with a large leaf of Shiso (Japanese Basil).

- 60ml Soda Water
- Basil (garnish)
Method

Finality Cocktail
Johnnie Walker Blue Label Elusive Umami is stirred down with caramel and seasoned with umami-rich Worcestershire sauce to create a complex, mind-bending take on a salted-caramel old-fashioned. Finished with a candied and roasted cherry tomato in place of a traditional maraschino cherry, this cocktail leans heavily into the natural umami-rich dessert flavours in the whisky.
