Todd Snyder Toasts to 15 Years of His Menswear Label with Lagavulin

In honor of the 15th anniversary of his eponymous menswear label, Todd Snyder cohosted a tartan-draped New York Fashion Week dinner with Gilded Age and Death of a Salesman actor Ben Ahlers, star of the brand’s forthcoming Time & Craft campaign. Timed with the festivities, the lauded fashion designer introduced a new capsule collection with Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The smoky Islay spirit lent structure to the evening’s cocktails—including a French Martini, Smoky Old Fashioned, and Todd’s Manhattan (a Lagavulin 16-Year-Old riff on the Rob Roy)—and accented the oysters. Highlights for the glamorous gathering were twofold: an intimate performance by Matt Berninger of The National and the world-first tasting of the ultra-rare Lagavulin 1991 Cask #1069.
