A fusion of style, sophistication and single malt mastery set the tone for the much-anticipated return of the Esquire Jazz Club, in collaboration with Glenfiddich.
Hosted at the iconic Q’s Jazz Club in Dubai’s Versace Palazzo Hotel, this exclusive evening brought together a handpicked selection of refined guests for a night steeped in music, culture, and Scottish excellence – a celebration that sets the benchmark for the events season ahead.
In the opulent setting of Q’s ambient lounge, guests were transported to an era reminiscent of Birdland’s golden days. The evening was enriched by the artistry of renowned drummer and producer Dante Kennedy, who introduced Q’s latest uncut gem, Malavika, as she captivated the room with soulful renditions of jazz and soul classics, marking the start of her new residency.
Through this partnership, Glenfiddich elevated Esquire’s esteemed lifestyle experience to new heights, creating an occasion of timeless luxury and distinction for an audience that values life’s finer moments. With each pour of Glenfiddich, guests immersed themselves in the legacy of the world’s most awarded single malt, savouring expressions ranging from the iconic 12-year to the profound depths of the 15 and 18-year aged whiskies. Founded by visionary William Grant in 1887, Glenfiddich remains a family-owned distillery built upon a heritage of passion and determination, now celebrated as an icon of Scottish Highland craftsmanship.
The evening’s curated menu of whisky-based cocktails further demonstrated Glenfiddich’s versatility, each sip offering a unique reflection of the brand’s depth and character.
Amid soulful tunes, guests mingled, dance and toasted to an unforgettable evening.
Esquire Middle East Editor-in-Chief Matthew Priest took to the stage, honouring Glenfiddich’s storied heritage and craftsmanship alongside the artistry of Q’s Jazz Club, heralding a season that promises many more exceptional evenings.
The opening night of the Esquire Jazz Club, elevated by Glenfiddich, epitomised the spirit of luxury, culture, and refinement. Here’s to a new season that redefines sophistication with every pour.
