The Society Bar introduces Valt, an exclusive, luxury Scottish single malt barley vodka. "Single malt? Vodka made in Scotland?", I hear you say. Well, yes. Director of Rubicon Reserve Wines and wine enthusiast, David Coleman, said apparently, the Scots have been making it for years - before whisky becomes whisky, it starts out as a single malt vodka. Previously, the Scots threw the vodka away, now, they've decided to drink it!

Your Plush mistress tasted the world's first Scottish single malt vodka and the various signature cocktails created by it. I believe that when it comes to food and drinks, taste is personal. To set the record straight, I love sweet drinks whether spirits, cocktails or wine. I'm not too much of a fan of salty, sour and spicy. Hence, the Valt experience was a different one for me.

Valt Flight (left) is a choice of five flavours: chilli, cinnamon, grapefruit, kaffir lime and raspberry.

Valt Flight infused with chilli was literally "Oh my Plushness!". Hot and spicy, it's a liquid fire not for the faint-hearted such as moi. Sharp and bitter to the palate, it's a good mix to Society Bar's Bloody Mary to awaken your senses.

Grapefruit was subtle but had a bit of a burn to the throat. Kaffir Lime tasted very much like lemon grass although it's infused with a hint of lime. A rather nice Asian flavour.

Cinnamon was spicy and strong and much like the taste of Christmas. Add it to ginger beer and you'll get something that resembles a Moscow Mule. The best was raspberry. Fruity and sweet, just the way your Plush mistress likes it!

Now that my palate had tasted the various infusions of Valt neat, I moved on to Society Bar's signature cocktails made from Valt. First up, Valty Towers (right). Made with Limoncello, lemon, sugar and basil, it is a very summery, refreshing drink. It tastes like a Mojito with a twist and is more on the sour side.

Society Bloody Mary was not my cup of tea, or spirit, in this case. David said it's the ultimate kickstart to your day, or evening. The extra zing comes from horseradish. An acquired taste for someone like mine-self but fabulous for those who love a savoury taste.

Muddy Valtini was another example of something I didn't enjoy. Also known as a Dirty Martini, the marriage of olives and Valt was rather smooth for some.

On to what I thought was fab! Red Rubies (left) was a simple pleasure of infusing Champagne with Raspberry. Simple and sweet. A Bellini styled drink with a bit of a tang and a great after taste.

If the Scots had made Vodka sooner and had the climate for limes, this is the drink they would have dreamt up. Valtiroska was much like a Caprioska. Garnished with mint leaves, it was refreshing and kept your Plush mistress' tongue waging for a little more.

Put down the Vodka, enter the whisky. Other than Valt, David wanted us to try Sullivans Cove Whisky. And, of course, we did.

The Plush stamp of approval is given to the Sully Shuffle (right). By far, the best of all the drinks I sampled; funny that it's a whisky that I chose. It's made from Sullivans Cove Whisky which is rated 98/100 and is the sixth best whisky in the world. This is the first time Sullivans Cove is served out of Tasmania. Sully Shuffle is made with egg whites, raisins, orange zest and lemon sorbet. It was smooth, sexy and a girly drink in a masculine way - a creamy whisky.

Leaving a little light headed, your Plush mistress will be a resident in Society Bar sampling the cocktails on offer in time to come.
