I travel regularly via Singapore’s Changi Airport, and I always check in early so I could browse through the duty free liquor section. After all this is where the last bottle of Dalmore 62 was sold for £125,000 a few years back.
Last month I found a new bottling of Aberfeldy 28 years old.
This month I found a slew of Dewar’s with age statement, a 15 years ‘The Monarch’, and an 18 years ‘The Vintage’, in addition to the usual Signature (with its exquisite box). Dewar’s seem to also started using a “True Scotch” tag line on these bottles, whatever that mean. And if I'm the monarch I wouldn't find it so flattering to be tagged to a 15 years old bottle costing only £24.
The new find is a 30 year old, also labelled a “True Scotch”, and apparently finished in PX cask. The bottle label looks very grand and exquisite but unfortunately it is not yet priced.
I noticed the Glenrothes Elders’ Reserve, Minister’s Reserve and Oldest Reserve has their ages stated as 18, 21 and 30 years respectively. On the distillery website as well as Ronnie Cox’s videos these bottlings have no age statement on them, even though Ronnie does mention it during the video.
I wonder why they don't simply state the age whilst having to create a different label for the duty free channels.
Hi! I live in Singapore! Has the Glen Grant 12yo Unchill filtered arrived yet?
I have only seen the 10 and 16 years
Compass Box has arrived at Singapore Changi Airport...
Hedonism and Spice Tree
Compass Box Peat Monster
This has been in the Changi Airport duty free for a while, but I believe it is duty free only and so probably rare for some of the members here.
Glen Deveron 20 and 30 years.
Talisker 30 years - GBP430 / EUR520
Craigellachie 31 years in a beautiful wooden tube - GBP290 / EUR345
BTW @horst_s mentioned that you have a sample of the Craigellachie 31 and that you will review it in 2015. so did you review it?
look what Dalmore is giving away at Changi Duty Free (I assume they are giving away the same at other airports)
