Double-matured in two different types of oaks – new oak for the first maturation and old oak for the second – this unique process gives the new St-Rémy Signature an opening of spiced notes, giving indulgence, youth, and vivacity. It is then followed by the roundness, balance, and sweetness of aged oak.

On the nose, expect a sweet aroma composed of virgin wood and spices such as vanilla, coconut or almond, and fresh fruits. On the palate, the flavours are round and sweet, virgin woody notes enriched with honey, nut and butter flavours. Fruity aromas start fresh, before becoming candied. Sweet spices bring balance.

From 12 March – 30 April, cocktail enthusiasts who order a St-Rémy Signature cocktail at the five participating bars (Mama Diam, Potato Head Singapore, Qin Bar, Naga House and Brooklyn Bar) will also have the chance to win a Nespresso machine valued at S$249.

Expect a fully circular and sustainable alcohol experience with the Discard Spirits Co spirits, made with food waste that will otherwise be discarded. This food waste also gives the spirits another layer of taste, which these spirits can then impart to cocktails.

  • Discarded Sweet Cascara Vermouth blends cascara, a coffee industry waste product, with alcohol, a sherry-style spirit wine base, and botanicals like cinnamon and wormwood

  • Discarded Banana Peel infuses aged Caribbean rum with discarded banana peels

  • The latest release, Discarded Grape Skin Vodka, utilises discarded Chardonnay grape pomace to create a sustainable vodka with a retained grape flavour

These spirits will be available in Singapore at a later date, the first stop outside of the Scandivanian and European countries.

How would you fancy getting your hands on a 48, 49 and 51-year-old rare cask release from Glenglassaugh? A hidden gem on Scotland's northeastern coastline, a rare collection of single casks sit in the coastal warehouse and have been left to mature for over 50 years. Three of the single casks are now available for application to purchase.

According to Rachel Barrie, Master Blender at Glenglassaugh Distillery, "It is extremely rare to find casks which have been left to mature in coastal locations for such a long period of time and our warehouses, perched on cliffs overlooking Sandend Bay, have acted as the custodians of this old and rare liquid for over five decades. These casks give a unique insight into ther nature of whisky making at the distillery before it was closed and capture a moment in time like few other expressions can."
