It was a moment that uplifted the spirit.
Guests soared to new heights when they gathered for a legendary lunch with Legent Bourbon. The intimate affair at Manhatta was hosted by the fifth-ever Chief Blender of Suntory Whisky, Shinji Fukuyo on October 7.
Fukuyo was present in all his glory as incredible Legent cocktails were served and paired with a three course lunch.
Legent was created from a collaboration between Fred Noe and Shinji Fukuyo, two legends from the founding families of American bourbon and Japanese whisky, a unique combination of expertise resulting in an exceptional innovation.
