It was a night of thrilling discovery and eclectic flavours as Naked Malt, the premium whisky brand renowned for breaking free from conventional norms, hosted an unforgettable Sustainable Cocktail Experience. The exclusive event took place at the classy 008 Bar, nestled in the trendy Muu Bangkok Hotel in Thonglor, on June 8. Attendees included an array of journalists, whisky enthusiasts, and those who appreciate the exceptional blend of Naked Malt.
Naked Malt, renowned for its exclusive blend of the world’s choicest single malts, has a unique identity. This unique whisky is matured in first-fill sherry casks, exuding a lush, fruity flavour balanced beautifully with notes of vanilla and citrus. The final product is a versatile, distinctive malt that caters to a wide range of palates.
The highlight of the evening was an exclusive cocktail menu curated by the brilliant mixologist Dicky Hartono from the acclaimed Firefly Bar at Sindhorn Kempinski. Hartono, renowned for his innovative spirit, created stunning concoctions such as the Malaya, Firefly Rebirth, and the intriguing Naked Rice Ball, all with Naked Malt at their heart.
Hartono’s enthusiasm for Naked Malt was palpable. “Its versatility is truly appealing. Naked Malt is perfect for mixed drinks or cocktails, and just as delicious served over ice, topped with soda, garnished with a wedge of lime,” he remarked.

Naked Malt is not merely a whisky but a philosophy. It attracts not just whisky enthusiasts but also new-generation drinkers who prioritize sustainability. This forward-thinking mindset reflects in its packaging material. Naked Malt’s iconic, embossed, transparent bottle is not just visually captivating but also 100% recyclable, letting the superior quality of the whisky shine through.
Adding a touch of exclusivity, each bottle carries the signature of the Naked Malt Master Blender, Diane Stuart, to acknowledge the meticulous blending, care, and craftsmanship of selecting every cask.
At the heart of the Sustainable Cocktail Experience was Naked Malt’s commitment to delivering a sustainable yet indulgent experience for whisky fans. This ethos started with selecting ingredients, with bartenders recycling and upcycling as many elements as possible. The zest and pulp of citrus fruits found a second life in garnishes and juices, while the remaining parts were repurposed for infused water.
In line with this philosophy, Naked Malt’s bar partner also took a stand against single-use plastic straws and offered paper napkins only at customer request.

As Naked Malt shakes up the whisky scene, it invites the new generation of drinkers to join the journey, one glass at a time.
