Johnnie Walker Blue Label together with Tatler Malaysia recently hosted an intimate dinner at Sabayon, EQ Kuala Lumpur, in the presence of Ewan Gunn, the senior global Scotch whisky ambassador at Diageo, who also conducted a tasting session.

Guests were greeted with a beautiful set-up that was amplified by the surrounding bird's eye view of the the city centre skyline, that to the restaurant's location on the 51st floor.

The evening kicked off with a round of creatively crafted Johnnie Walker Blue Label cocktails, among them the Blue Hi Ball which is a mixture of the premium whisky, soju, and tonic water, garnished with a slice of apple. Guests enjoyed their drinks on the outdoor patio in the company of the dramatic KLCC view.
