SHI, the contemporary Asian dining destination located on Bluewaters Island, partners with the iconic bourbon distiller Woodford Reserve in celebration of Old-Fashioned Month with bold and creative twist. Together, they present a limited- time cocktail menu that reimagines the beloved Old Fashioned through the lens of modern Asian mixology.
This exclusive collaboration brings together craftsmanship, heritage and innovation, offering a refined experience that echoes SHI’s signature ambiance and Woodford Reserve’s celebrated bourbon legacy.
Guests can discover three exclusives Old Fashioned variations, each created with Woodford Reserve and infused with elegant, Asian-inspired flavours.
Old Crush is a bold, indulgent take on the classic. This decadent Old Fashioned blends Woodford Reserve with the luscious sweetness of Pedro Ximenez sherry and the silky depth of crème de cacao. It’s a dessert-like cocktail with dark chocolate undertones and a velvety mouthfeel perfect for sipping slowly after dinner.
The Classic Old Fashioned is a timeless favourite, elegantly elevated. This version keeps it traditional with Woodford Reserve, Demerara sugar, and Angostura bitters, but plays up the citrus and spice notes for a refreshing, floral-forward finish.
With Cherry Boulevardier it’s a refined twist on a classic Boulevardier. Featuring Woodford Reserve, cherry-infused vermouth, tonka beans, and Campari, this cocktail delivers layers of bitter-sweet cherry, warm spice, and almond-like aromatics. Rich yet smooth, it offers a complex finish that lingers beautifully on the palate.
Each cocktail is available for AED 90 throughout the month of October, a limited time offering designed for lovers of fine spirits and elevated mixology.
