The Scotch Cross Bun & Scotch Caramel Easter Lamington land in Sydney and Melbourne for a limited time
This Easter, Speyside whisky distillery Benriach has partnered with cult-favourite bakery Tokyo Lamington to reinterpret two nostalgic seasonal favourites through a whisky lens.
Available in stores across Sydney and Melbourne until Monday 6 April, the limited-edition collaboration introduces the Scotch Cross Bun – layered with fruit infused with Benriach’s award-winning The Original Ten single malt Scotch whisky and finished with a smooth Scotch glaze – alongside the Scotch Caramel Easter Lamington, a rich chocolate sponge filled with a decadent whisky caramel centre inspired by the indulgent cocoa traditions of the season.
For those wanting to lean further into the experience, Tokyo Lamington’s Newtown store will also be serving up limited-edition whisky coffee creation for the duration of the collaboration. Infused with housemade honey syrup, finished with silky vanilla cream and spiked with a shot of Benriach’s The Original Ten, the serve can be enjoyed hot or as a cold brew in a refined yet playful spin on a “Afternoon Whisk-Tea.”
The Scotch Cross Bun and Scotch Caramel Easter Lamington will be available to enjoy in-store or takeaway at the following Tokyo Lamington locations:
● Tokyo Lamington Newtown – 277 Australia Street, Newtown NSW
● Tokyo Lamington Marrickville – 140 Marrickville Road, Marrickville NSW
● Tokyo Lamington Carlton – 258 Elgin Street, Melbourne VIC
Speaking on the collaboration, Tokyo Lamington’s Co-Founders, Min Chai and Eddie Stewart, said:
“We love taking nostalgic favourites and reimagining them in unexpected ways, and the Scotch Cross Bun and Scotch Caramel Lamington are exactly that. Partnering with Benriach allowed us to explore deeper, more layered flavour profiles while still honouring everything people love about a hot cross bun and a lamington. It’s
indulgent, surprising and very much in the spirit of Tokyo Lamington.”
Stuart Reeves, Benriach Brand Manager, Brown-Forman, added:
“At Benriach, we’re passionate about exploring new ways to enjoy single malt whisky. Seeing The Original Ten woven into two much-loved Easter classics demonstrates just how versatile its fruit-forward character can be. We can’t wait to see how Sydneysiders and Melburnites alike enjoy them”.
In addition to the limited-edition collaboration, Tokyo Lamington will also offer a broader range of unique Lamington creations throughout the season – from the classics like the OG, Fairy and Yuzu to new innovations like Carrot Cake, Peach Cobbler and Tres Leches.
Perfect to enjoy on its own or in a paired cocktail with the Scotch Cross Bun and Scotch Caramel Easter Lamington, Benriach The Original Ten single malt Scotch whisky is available nationally from $97 at First Choice Liquor.
