An exclusive signature serve accompanies CTC's mignardises, highlighting the creative dialogue between Japanese whisky and contemporary Greek gastronomy.
Summer takes on a new flavor dimension through the collaboration between Nikka Whisky and CTC Urban Gastronomy, a culinary concept that blends creativity, technique, and genuine hospitality.
Throughout the summer season, CTC's courtyard hosts a specially designed Nikka Trolley Bar, which is an integral part of the restaurant's gastronomic experience. There, guests have the opportunity to enjoy a signature serve, served exclusively alongside the tasting menu's mignardises, offering an aromatic and flavorful finale that ideally complements the experience.
The signature serve was created by Dimitris Zeggelis, Nikka Brand Ambassador, in collaboration with CTC Urban Gastronomy's sommelier, with the aim of showcasing the refined, fruity character of Nikka Days Whisky. By combining Nikka Days with notes of tsoureki, banana oleo saccharum, and pennyroyal, the creation balances Japanese finesse and Greek flavor references, offering a modern and unexpected interpretation of food pairing.
The result is a signature serve with aromatic depth, delicate sweetness, and a refreshing herbal finish, designed to harmoniously accompany the menu's final bites and complete CTC's culinary narrative.
This collaboration reflects Nikka Whisky's contemporary philosophy, which views whisky not only as a spirit, but as a creative means of expression and an integral component of a holistic hospitality experience. At the same time, CTC Urban Gastronomy continues to explore new ways of connecting haute cuisine with the world of premium spirits, creating experiences that transcend the boundaries of classic pairing.
The Nikka Trolley Bar will be in the courtyard of CTC Urban Gastronomy throughout the summer, inviting visitors to discover a different approach to the enjoyment of whisky, where the signature serve is an organic part of the gastronomic experience.
