Hakkasan Mumbai featured a gastronomical multisensorial dining series

'The Pursuit of Smoke' was a series of dinners held at Hakkasan Mumbai last weekend. The event offered guests a unique gastronomical experience that redefined the boundaries of fine dining. The event was centered around Ardbeg, the ultimate Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the house of LVMH. The immersive journey into the realm of Islay was brought to life via a multisensory art experience. The highlight of the event was an immersive art piece, which was projected through the captivating medium of projection mapping. At the beginning of the dinner, guests were treated to an animation video that showcased the journey of crafting the world's smokiest whisky. This mesmerizing film was set against the backdrop of the enchanted Islay and featured characters who embarked on 'The Pursuit of Smoke'. The video takes guests on an odyssey of rediscovery and resilience, uncovering the secrets of the enchanted smoke.

Commenting on this first-of-its-kind collaboration for the brand, Smriti Sekhsaria, Marketing Director at Moët Hennessy India said, "Ardbeg’s ‘The Pursuit of Smoke’ is a luxury multisensorial experience that celebrates ‘smoke and fire’ by bringing it to life in a way never done before! With this campaign, we are bringing creativity, technology and gastronomy together and helping the consumer stay on top of the transformational dining trends of today".
