Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru is raising the bar for whisky aficionados this June by welcoming the iconic Jim Murray for two extraordinary evenings of blind tasting and whisky storytelling. Hosted in collaboration with All Things Nice, this exclusive event will be held at the hotel’s elegant Grand Ballroom, marking the only South India stop on Jim Murray’s much-anticipated India tour.
A global authority and bestselling author of the Whisky Bible, Jim Murray brings decades of expertise and the famed “Murray Method” of tasting—a unique approach developed over years of sensory research. Guests will be treated to an immersive tasting experience that removes brand bias, focusing instead on pure, informed appreciation.
Each evening will begin with a curated lineup of exceptional whiskies, paired with gourmet hors d’oeuvres. The blind tasting that follows will be led by Jim himself, promising rare insights, engaging anecdotes, and a few surprises along the way.
“At Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru, we craft experiences that reflect discernment, sophistication, and a genuine appreciation for the finer things,” said Biswajit Chakraborty, General Manager. “From Copitas—ranked #12 on India’s 30 Best Bars 2024—to our intimate whisky bar The Collection, our journey with whisky is rooted in quality and passion. Hosting Jim Murray is both an honour and a natural next step in creating world-class, whisky-focused experiences.”
The evenings are curated by Nikhil Agarwal, Founder of All Things Nice, and supported by Platinum Partner Marqland. Attendees will also have the opportunity to interact with Jim Murray, continue their conversations over fine drams, and get their copies of the Whisky Bible signed (available for purchase).

Dates: Wednesday, June 11 & Thursday, June 12, 2025

With a blend of luxury, learning, and world-class whisky, these evenings promise an unforgettable journey into the heart of the spirit.

A tribute to the 55th Parallel North, this premium blend combines Indian malt with three differently-aged Scotch malts. The nose reveals smoky peat and orchard fruits, while the palate delights with honey, oak spice, dark chocolate and citrus zest—perfect for those who enjoy coastal complexity.Availability: Delhi

Welcoming over 350 guests, the launch brought together top lifestyle and food influencers, media professionals, and local tastemakers, all eager to experience the brand’s unique blend of gourmet and game. Adding star power to the event were Ankit Rajpoot, Former Indian Cricketer, and Samarth Singh, Indian Cricketer, who graced the evening as Guests of Honour.
The new venue gave attendees a sneak peek into what Underdoggs is all about—sports-inspired interiors, interactive game zones, a chic bar, and a space thoughtfully designed for both play and connection.
Guests enjoyed a line-up of highlights that included:

GOPIZZA, the Korean-headquartered global food brand, is making waves once again—this time with the launch of its newest venture: Gochujang, India’s first quick-service restaurant dedicated entirely to authentic Korean street food. The brand opened doors on June 7, 2025, at Phoenix Mall of Asia, Bengaluru, introducing a new way for Indian food lovers to explore Korean flavors.
This launch marks GOPIZZA's third brand under its K-Food umbrella, joining its popular Korean pizza concept and Dalkomi, the indulgent dessert café. Together, the three brands now offer an all-in-one Korean culinary experience, from spicy and savory to sweet, all under one roof.
Gochujang is named after Korea’s iconic fermented red chilli paste and pays tribute to Korea's vibrant street food culture. The “GO” in the name is also a nod to the parent brand GOPIZZA, reflecting its expansion across Indian cities and its mission to deliver immersive Korean dining experiences.
Speaking on the launch, Jaewon Lim, Founder and Global CEO of GOPIZZA, shared, “India is a key market in our global strategy. We’re looking for a master franchise partner and plan to launch 100 outlets across GOPIZZA, Gochujang, and Dalkomi by FY 2026.”
What makes Gochujang unique is its commitment to street food staples straight from Seoul. Think: cheesy corn dogs, fiery tteokbokki, ramen bowls that warm the soul, and more. It's a bold and flavorful menu that stays true to the streets of Korea.
Mahesh Reddy, CEO of GOPIZZA India, added, “Our journey in India has shown a strong love for Korean food. With Gochujang, we’re now offering an authentic Korean street food experience that complements our pizza and dessert brands.”
Located right next to Gochujang, Dalkomi also opens its second location at Mall of Asia after a successful debut at Kempegowda International Airport. The 650 sq ft space forms part of the 3-brand Korean food hub that GOPIZZA plans to replicate across its outlets for both dine-in and delivery.
With high footfall, a cosmopolitan crowd, and a growing appetite for Korean cuisine, Phoenix Mall of Asia was the perfect setting to launch this integrated K-food experience.
Known for its technological innovation, GOPIZZA is also leading in kitchen automation with its proprietary GOBOT (for cutting and heating pizzas), AI Smart Topping Table, and the patented GOVEN that bakes six pizzas in just three minutes—ensuring both speed and consistency across its 65+ outlets.
With Gochujang’s entry, GOPIZZA continues its journey from a single-brand pizza chain to a multi-brand Korean food destination poised to grow both in India and globally.
