South Africa World Chaîne Day

Bailliage of Johannesburg, South Africa
Johannesburg, April 21, 2018

Malt whisky was the perfect pairing
" During the reception Bailli Perry explained the brief but fast-developing history of World Chaîne Day "

The Bailliage held its 4th Annual World Chaîne Day celebration at The Marion on Nicol with Hotel General Manager Sean Engelsman and Executive Chef Dirk Visser being the hosts.

Bailli William Perry was pleased to see the continued increase in attendance of Bailliage events. He noted that 65 members and guests were present versus only 23 in 2017, a growth of 183%!

Honoured guests included: Bailli Délégué Philip Mostert, Argentier Honoraire Hugo van Zyl, Thai-Keong Chua (Singapore High Commissioner), Terrence Hong (Singapore First Secretary and Consul), and Martin Karpe (Minister Counselor with the Embassy of Liberia).

On arrival we enjoyed a Glenmorangie ‘First on the tee’ cocktail. During the reception Bailli Perry explained the brief but fast-developing history of World Chaîne Day.

Bailli Délégué Philip Mostert introduced Rob Gray, Moët Hennessy Brand Ambassador, who gave an overview of the history of Glenmorangie whisky. He explained the whisky and food pairings. Executive Chef Visser discussed the menu and noted that whisky is a complex beverage. He hoped the dinner would inspire people to experiment more with different spirits.
