The third edition of the Johnnie Walker Sip Over events unfolded in spectacular fashion, as brand influencer Rebecca Nanjego hosted an enchanting Friendsgiving dinner for her closest friends. The intimate evening of gratitude, fine dining, and festive cheer was held at Mediterraneo Restaurant in Kololo.
Nanjego hosted 20 friends, who adhered to the ‘glamorous black-and-gold’ dress code, paying homage to the iconic Johnnie Walker Black Label. The group dined on a curated menu, featuring delectable dishes paired with the smooth and timeless flavors of Johnnie Walker.
During the dinner, Nanjego shared a heartwarming message of gratitude for the love and support her friends have offered her over the years. “Tonight is a celebration of the amazing people in my life… You guys are a constant reminder of how blessed I am, and I am forever grateful.”
The evening also featured an enlightening mentorship session by Preston Okot, who introduced guests to the different portfolios and flavor profiles of Johnnie Walker. The engaging whisky mentorship helped guests deepen their appreciation for the iconic global celebratory whisky.
Christine Kyokunda, the Johnnie Walker Brand Manager, remarked, “This Friendsgiving was both a celebration of people in Rebecca’s life and a reminder of the joy of giving back during this festive season.”
The evening was serenaded by John Paul the Pianist, who played popular instrumentals and soulful compositions. In the true spirit of the season, Nanjego gifted her friends with bottles of Johnnie Walker, as tokens of appreciation.
With the festive season upon us, Johnnie Walker is deliberate about making gifting more special, with its personalized gifting studio at Village Mall.
