Another standout is Mango Reverie, a playful yet nostalgic cocktail inspired by India’s love for raw mango and chilli. Built on JW Black Label, the drink combines a sharp raw mango cordial with soda for freshness, finished with chilli salt for heat and texture.

With its focus on storytelling through spirits, Mirth promises an evening of refined pours and relaxed energy. As the bar continues to push boundaries in modern mixology, International Scotch Day becomes an opportunity not just to drink whisky, but to experience its evolution one sip at a time.
