Botswana Butchery Sydney Wagyu x Nikka Whisky Event

Botswana Butchery is offering Sydneysiders a spectacular dinner event with a degustation menu of wagyu dishes and Nikka Whisky drink pairings on Wednesday 13th September.

Known for its delicious steaks and meat dishes, Botswana Butchery prides itself on quality produce and unique dining experiences and the Wagyu x Nikka Whisky pairing event is one such experience that will be enjoyed by those who simply love great food & drinks and connoisseurs alike.

Guests will sit back and relax in the plush surrounds of the CBD restaurant as they fulfil their appetites with four dishes of the very best cuts of wagyu, followed by a palate cleanser and dessert crafted by the Botswana Butchery chefs, accompanied by a range of perfectly paired, exquisite Nikka whisky drinks.

Alongside the food and drinks, guests will also hear talks from key personalities involved in this experience. Culinary Director, Angel Fernandez will discuss the selection of the wagyu cuts and the creative process behind the dishes, and award winning Botswana Butchery Bar Manager Reuben Beasley, who recently won the Nikka Perfect Serve 2023 Competition (Reuben’s award winning cocktail is also the last cocktail served) and Nikka Whisky Ambassador Marcus Parmenter, will speak about the different whisky blends and barrelling process.
