The 2021 Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Rye Whiskey just launched in Hong Kong, and the small-batch distillery from Kentucky is celebrating its release at contemporary Australian restaurant Hue. If you're looking to hang out for after-dinner drinks with a view, and a taste of the new bottle release, head over to TST on Thursdays and Fridays, 8.30pm, from September 23 to October 29, 2021, and catch the limited-time Supper Menu ($550 per person) that allows guests to sample four bottlings of Michter's Whiskey. The menu offers small bites of sweet and savoury dishes, including a smoked mackerel Beignet, fried chicken and croquette, and petit fours vanilla and fig tartlet, mini doughnut, and pavlova, along with two drams of Michter's (Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Rye and Michter's US*1 Original Sour Mash Whiskey) and two cocktails Rye Crusta – a riff of New Orleans' classic cocktail Brandy Crusta using Michter's US1 Single Barrel Rye Whiskey as a base blended with range curaçao, and a Maraschino and fresh lemon juice – and an Old Fashioned made with Michter's US1 Bourbon Whiskey, cold-drip coffee bitters, brown sugar, garnished with orange peel.
Hue is also setting up their artisan cheese and Petit Four Trolley alongside a cocktail trolley where guests can order classic cocktails that change depending on the day. Reserve seats via huedining.com.hk, and make sure you secure a spot with a waterfront view.
