Rs 99k per bottle Scotch whisky arrives in Nepal

It’s now official, John Walker & Sons Odyssey is now available in Nepal. World famous Scotch whisky house John Walker & Sons launched John Walker & Sons Odyssey, a rare triple malt whisky, in Nepal amid a gala function on Friday.

An exclusive function was organized at the Hotel Hyatt, Bouddha to launch the Odyssey that was attended by the who’s who of the Nepali corporate world. The function brought the glamour and luxury from the John Walker & Sons Voyager which now continues to journey from Shanghai to Scotland to Nepal. The iconic event celebrated life’s great journeys and the exceptional individuals who undertake them — immersing Nepal’s most progressive personalities in a world of quality craftsmanship, heritage and modern innovation.

The odyssey is ideally suited to the new breed of affluent, progressive Nepali consumers who enjoy both material luxury and quality life experiences that go beyond financial rewards, said the company in a press release. John Walker & Sons Odyssey allows these discerning consumers to stand apart from the crowd expressing their individuality and progressive nature.

“The creation of John Walker & Sons Odyssey reflects Diageo’s commitment to meeting the bespoke tastes of the most progressive and discerning consumers. It is no longer acceptable for global companies to rely on a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, especially in the luxury sector. John Walker & Sons Odyssey will allow the most progressive

individuals to celebrate their greatest journeys with a whisky that is among the finest and most sophisticated available,” said Eddie Harris, general manager of Diageo Emerging South-East Asia.

After an exclusive dinner, guests were invited to experience a Luxury Whisky Mentoring Session where they sampled the new exquisite liquid along with Richard Gillam, the renowned John Walker & Sons Odyssey brand ambassador. More than a tasting opportunity, the Luxury Whisky Mentoring Session encompassed the John Walker & Sons heritage by combining the old-world glamour of Sir Alexander’s original vision with 21st century contemporary luxury, creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The distributor Global Trading Concern has priced the Odyssey at Rs 99,000 per bottle.
