EVENT REVIEW: THE BLACK BOTTLE EXPERIENCE

By Maggy Mathapo

On the 26th of February 2015 the Guide magazine was invited to the Black Bar bottle experience held at the trendy Maboneng precrint . I must say I was really in a hurry to see myself there. You can never go wrong with Black Bottle.  When we got there we were given a very warm welcome that got us more excited about what we were to experience. I must really admit that I actually learnt a few things about the Black bottle whisky, having recently launched here in South Africa last year.

The evening started at the living room roof top where guests got a brief whisky tasting with Black bottles global ambassador Mal Spencer with some delicious finger snacks, sushi, cheese and some seafood.

It wouldn't be a black bar experience without some bit of magic, guests got treated to some magic tricks from a talented magician who managed to leave guests with only one question in mind “how did he do that? Where did he had hide the coin?”

We now had to move from The living room and take a tour of the beautiful Maboneng. We were divided into groups and each group had their own tour guide, who showed us around Maboneng and gave us a brief history of the place.

Ooh to actually think my team and I thought Maboneng was only at the Living room. Along the road we were entertained by a group of Pantsula dancers who put on a mini showcase for us, must say that was such a wonderful experience to watch those talented young dancers move to the rhythm of Maboneng.



The highlight of the night was when we finished off at Patapata where there was a live band and Zulu traditional dancers that performed for us while we were sipping the Black bottle and enjoyed more fingers snacks.  The setup of the venues was out of this world we really had a great experience. It was a chilled environment where we were about to mingle and enjoy the evening. 


Thank you Black bottle for the wonderful experience
