WIN WHISKY HAMPERS

TOMORROW is World Whisky Day and what better way to celebrate than with delicious Japanese cocktails in the comfort of your home.

The House of Suntory presents a new generation whisky that encompasses fascination with past and future – Toki.

Meaning “time” in Japanese, Toki respects tradition while inspiring whisky convention to redefine the hierarchy between malt and grain.

With a modern and boldly Japanese bottle design bringing life the concept, Toki Whisky ensures a ground-breaking, timeless product.

Not a big whisky fan? Don’t fret – there is the tantalising Roku Gin which incorporates six traditional botanicals – Sakura flower, Sakura leaf, Yuzu peel, Sencha tea, Gyokuro tea and Sansho pepper – all infused, distilled and blended to maximise flavour forming its Japanese identity, setting the spirit apart from other gins.

Toki Whisky and Roku Gin are available at major retailers nationwide and online. Toki – R499. Roku – R299.

Show off your skills with these two easy cocktails:

Method:

Garnish with ginger slices. Add ice and stir to chill glass. Add Toki, ginger syrup – charge with soda and add garnish.
