Woodford Reserve Whiskey is hosting an immersive film event, A Cinematic Spectacle for the Senses, in two UK cities in November.
The cinema screenings will be paired with a tasting menu of small plates and cocktails, with each course timed for different moments throughout the films.
Each cocktail will be curated by Woodford Reserve’s mixologist Joseph Hall and will explore the flavour profiles of Kentucky bourbon.
Kicking off at Hoxton’s The Curzon on Thursday 17th November, Londoners will have the chance to watch an early preview screening of The Menu (2022), starring The Queen’s Gambit’s Anya Taylor-Joy, along with Ralph Fiennes and Nicholas Hoult.
Together with American dining concept Rita’s, based in Soho, Woodford Reserve will complement the film, which is set at Fiennes’ private island restaurant Hawthorn, where achieving the perfect menu comes at a price.
In Manchester, on Saturday 18th February, A Cinematic Spectacle for the Senses will travel to 36-seat cinema Mini Cini at Ducie Street Warehouse to host three screenings of Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) with Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu and Jamie Lee Curtis.
The story of an ageing Chinese immigrant swept up in an insane adventure, at pivotal moments, guests will be offered Woodford Reserve themed cocktails and paired dishes by TĀTĀ Eatery.
Joseph Hall, Woodford Reserve UK Brand Ambassador, said: “Woodford Reserve are so proud to present A Cinematic Spectacle for the Senses, an experience that is so much more than a whiskey tasting. We have placed each of the senses at the heart while curating an action-packed and amazing tasting menu where each sip and bite uses the science of flavour and creates truly unique moments.”
Tickets are £40pp and include a multi-course tasting menu, three paired cocktail serves and your seat at the screening. A vegan menu option will be available.
