Johnnie Walker Black Label, considered the Savoy and Everest among whiskies, recently feted eminent members of the Tower Club. The affair featured an exquisite dinner and whisky-tasting at the sleek and modern Philamlife Tower.
Located at the Philamlife Tower’s luxe 33rd and 34th floors, The Tower Club is the fulfilled vision of Jose "Joey" Cuisia Jr., former Central Bank governor and currently president and CEO of Philippine American Life Insurance Company. The Club was conceived to cater to the country’s eminent captains of industry.

The Tower Club is strictly a by-invitation-only club; only the country’s most esteemed industry figures are invited to join its exclusive power circle. It is affiliated with over 200 prestigious clubs worldwide.
Johnnie Walker Black Label’s elegant tribute is in line with its global pitch feting formidable industry titans who embody the whisky’s theme of upward mobility in its "Keep Walking" tag.
Some 40 distinguished guests were led by Nono Ibazeta, president, A. Soriano Group; Ditos Carballo, SVP, Negros Navigation; Christian Monsod, chief strategist, Lopez Group of Companies; Jake Almeda Lopez, vice chair, ABS-CBN; EJ Litton, president, Ultimate Dining; Noel Oñate, chairman, Asian Spirit; Charles Zani, chairman, Zani Group of Companies.
