Music & Dram: Exploring Whisky and Music Synergy
Awaken a melody of flavour
Set the mood. Our Global Luxury Brand Ambassador Ewan Gunn has chosen eight perfect songs to match eight iconic whiskies. Each song has been hand-selected to accentuate the unique character of each of these exceptional liquids. Elevate your tasting experience with captivating guitar rifs and transcendent beats.
Mortlach 20 Year Old | Massive Attack – “Angel”
"The dark pulsing bass that opens this track talks to the deep forbidden richness of Mortlach 20 year old, whilst the ticking of the metronome indicates the attention to detail and time spent perfecting the balance of sweet and savoury. Elegant sophistication wrapped around something dark and mysterious."
Talisker 25 Year Old | Bloc Party – “Banquet”
"This is a tightly produced track with energy and an underlying tension. The brash guitar riffs work beautifully with Talisker 25 – throughout the track there’s a feeling of barely restrained power which reflects the flavour profile of the whisky perfectly."
The Singleton 40 Year Old | Dorothy Ashby – “Soul Vibrations”
"Dorothy Ashby was one of the most boldly creative jazz musicians of her era, and her sound has influenced and been sampled by numerous modern day hip-hop artists. This track brings together funk, jazz and a driving beat that transcends genre and paves the way for future innovation. In a similar vein, the Singleton 40 pushed the boundaries of innovation years ahead of its time and created something truly spectacular whilst doing so."
Port Ellen Gemini | Agnes Obel – “Familiar”
"This brilliant track by Agnes Obel focuses on the concept that personality is not permanent and can change. This is brought to life by using two tones of the same voice which echo and intertwine. As well as being a beautiful piece of music this perfectly reflects the dual nature of Port Ellen Gemini with one liquid evolving into two versions of itself."
