For the third consecutive year, The Singleton, a premium single malt whisky, partnered with the Meat Up Fest to deliver an elevated barbecue and grilling experience. Known for its rich toffee flavour and smooth finish, The Singleton perfectly complemented the festival’s third edition, held at Naiposha Gardens, cementing its place as the ultimate pairing for immersive gastronomic experiences.
Simon Lapyem, The Singleton Brand Manager, remarked:
“For the third consecutive edition, we have partnered with the Meat Up Fest to celebrate flavour, craftsmanship, and shared moments of pleasure. By bringing together two worlds of slow and intentional craft, we’ve delivered a culinary experience that allows our consumers to savour the single moment and enjoy an elevated barbecue experience.”
The Meat Up Fest drew over 1,000 attendees and featured eight grill masters showcasing their signature barbecue styles in an interactive, slow-grilling experience. Guests were treated to a decadent menu designed to delight both serious meat lovers and whisky connoisseurs.
From tender beef brisket slow-cooked to buttery perfection, to grilled mbuzi ribs, pork ribs, ribeye steaks, juicy lamb chops, and marinated chicken, each dish was thoughtfully paired with barbecue sauces infused with The Singleton, elevating every bite into a sensorial indulgence.
Highlights included the Dragon Sauce by Willie D — the “King of Low and Slow” — at the Pig and Hog station. His barbecue sauce, infused with The Singleton 15YO, unlocked a warm, nutty depth to his grilled meats. At the Kuku Station, barbecue queen Wangari Mwangi served juicy chicken cuts topped with her signature Hot Honey Sauce — a blend of local honey, chillies, and The Singleton 12YO — delivering a perfect sweet-heat kick.
For three consecutive years, The Singleton and Meat Up Fest have created a culinary experience that celebrates shared moments of joy — warm, authentic, and effortlessly refined. The Singleton continues to champion elevated cultural experiences that honour intentional craftsmanship and exceptional taste.
