Whiskey, Wood-Fire & World-Class Flavor: Taj Cape Town’s Whisky Pairing Dinner is a Must-Sip Event!

If you think whisky is just for granddads in armchairs, Taj Cape Town is about to change your mind — and your palate.

On Friday, 18 July 2025, the iconic Mint Restaurant & Wood-Fired Grill invites you to a night of smooth sips, crackling flames, and a 3-course culinary journey that’s as bold as the drams it’s paired with.

This is not your average dinner. This is Whisky Pairing with Finesse.

  • For just R450 per person, you’ll enjoy a menu designed to showcase the world of whisky in all its smoky, spicy, and surprisingly elegant glory. Each dish has been matched with a carefully selected spirit to bring out the best in both food and firewater.

Here’s what’s on the tasting table:

🥃 Starter – Paired with M&H Elements Sherry
🥃 Main Course – Accompanied by Kavalan Concert Master
🥃 Dessert – Rounded off with a classic Speyburn 10yr

Whether you’re a seasoned whisky snob or just whisky-curious, this evening is designed to be as approachable as it is indulgent. It’s equal parts classy and cozy — with the warm glow of the wood-fired grill, top-notch service, and yes, complimentary valet parking (because this isn’t amateur hour).

Limited seats are available, and this one will book out faster than you can say “neat or on the rocks?” So round up your sipping squad, bring your appetite, and prepare to swirl, sniff, and savor your way through an unforgettable evening.
