Last night I had the chance to sample complimentary whisky and wine at a luxury hotel in Central Jakarta. Naturally, I showed up, no hesitation whatsoever. ![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/f5439fee-0a0a-49dd-a337-f3f8ad536c9a.jpg) ![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/12ef1662-b57c-4b87-9e28-1b489a439b30.jpg) The event was incredibly lively and impressively well-organized. I’ve hosted a few wine tastings myself in the past, but on a much smaller scale. This one was on an entirely different level, spanning two floors dedicated to the experience. ![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/2ede321a-1be3-4b8b-9275-c242a3e08057.jpg) ![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/4b35a665-bd25-427f-895f-cfd0398d8dde.jpg) The third floor was reserved for whisky, while the second floor featured wine. I started on the third floor, eager to try several labels from Scotland, as well as a few from Japan. Most of the whiskies leaned toward smoky and spicy profiles, though there were plenty of sweeter options as well. I enjoyed them all, but my favorite was the Japanese selection, mild, yet still retaining the distinctive character I’d come to expect from the other whiskies I had sampled. ![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/210b0847-8f74-4191-8fc6-c1b483db4f44.jpg) ![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/36676650-d04b-40ad-81e1-08d46bd50248.jpg) After indulging on the third floor, we made our way down to the second. Unfortunately, I had already had a bit too much by then, so my memory of what I tried there is rather hazy. My wife mentioned that we did sample a couple of sake varieties, but honestly, I can barely recall anything at that point. ![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/499b6d40-37d9-4304-9abf-717ebe08e5a3.jpg) ![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/e2481a8c-3e8c-4fa4-a8d1-395ef8659e41.jpg) All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable event. A bit too crowded and noisy, perhaps, but free without feeling cheap. I liked it a lot.
