How old are you?
To describe or identify someone, age is often a key virtue. Which is strange, given that it’s an attribute that changes every—hold on, let us check—365 days, according to the Gregorian calendar. The abstraction of time is what made it so interesting. It meanders through different phases, slipping us into a new skin at each stage: Son, husband, father. And at a certain point, all three simultaneously integrate into your persona. Not to get excessively metaphorical on you but that isn’t too far of a journey from The Macallan. While we will probably never get to be 200 years old (though at the rate science is going), you can imagine how many guises a bicentennial would have embodied in his lifetime. For The Macallan, its two centuries of storied malt and wood, gleaming copper stills and possibly tartan-covered marketing meetings.
Still, you don’t dominate the world’s single malt market by accident. The Macallan began in 1824 as a modest operation. It wasn’t until the 80s when whisky suffered through the “whisky loch” that The Macallan arose against the odds. Demand crashed, distilleries shuttered… but while others sang their swan songs, The Macallan leaned into the pivot.
With their ample stock of mature casks, they launched legendary bottles like the Anniversary Malts, shifting focus toward single malt production and embracing a distinct identity. The 25- and 50-year-old releases became instant collector items and by the early 2000s, the brand had set—and broken—several world records for the most expensive bottles of whisky. Its sheer dominance and stability anchor whisky investment indexes in present time. Unfazed by the volatile market, the mainstay is much like gold in the stock world—a sure bet that consistently upholds pure value.
Today, The Macallan’s 200th anniversary might just be its finest achievement. The infinity symbol a representation of many full-circle milestones. Because for a distillery with serious staying power, whisky is not just aged—it’s ageless.
The road to making great whisky may be a laborious process but it’s well-earned. And like the efforts that go into whisky-making, so does The Macallan’s relationship with the bars. For this endeavour, time and space is paramount: time spent to earning the bar’s trust and the space where the bartenders can work their magic with The Macallan’s whiskies.
As a topper to the year-long celebration of The Macallan’s 200th anniversary, 12 bars were chosen to give their take on the brand’s past, present and future. Visitors can patronise the bars and order a speciallycreated flight of three drinks, each made from The Macallan’s base whiskies.
We have highlighted a cocktail from each bar and talked about the inspiration for the cocktail. For the rest of the flights, we’ll leave it to you to discover when you pay them a visit.
After all, what’s a little mystery in one’s life?
Every flight at each bar consists of three base whiskies from The Macallan: The Classic Cut 2024; A Night on Earth in Jerez; Harmony IV Vibrant Oak.
You don’t have to be a whisky purist to know there are two ways to savour a dram: neat and on the rocks. Taste it full at cask strength for its unfiltered intensity and/or "cut" it with water to unlock its hidden facets. Two modes of enjoyment, if you will.
The eighth edition of this range nods heavily toward tradition. Aged in European Sherry-seasoned casks and ex-bourbon barrels, casks are selected under the holy gaze of Macallan’s Master of Wood. Crafted to exacting standards, the oak barrels infuse the spirit with natural hue and flavour; where the contrast between power and refinement allows for the experience to evolve with each unfolding layer.
Let the burst of vanilla, orchard fruits, and marzipan surprise in its unadulterated state. Watch it transform under the influence of water; your palette awashed with baked custard, milk chocolate, and sweet green apple, balanced by oak spice.
As is the purpose of most good liquors, celebration is always at the heart of it. At the threshold between the final chapter of a year and the start of a new one, “A Night On Earth” is The Macallan’s way of ringing in the well-wishes. The third release in this selection lands us in the heart of Spanish winemaking—Jerez de la Frontera. Not only is it the birthplace of the greatest single contributor to the house’s signature Sherry but it's also where New Year is more than just a countdown.
Capturing both Andalucían vineyards and festivities, this expression marks a moment where sun-soaked grapes destined to create wines ultimately season the oak casks that define The Macallan. The casks are more than vessels, they are time capsules that carry the whisky’s natural profile.
Each whiff smells like a kitchen filled with holiday treats and aromas: Honey-coated pestiños, sweet raisins, cinnamon, and a pop of citrus zest. On the palate: a crescendo of white grapes and honey-glazed almonds, dashed with vanilla and subtle rosemary. The finish recalls a warm buzz from an evening's party. A joy of shared moments and traditions.
No chronological passage is complete without the future. As individuals march forward in life, so does humanity move in contemplation for the next generation. This special line explores the potential The Macallan can embrace for the next 200 years.
The Harmony Collection’s fourth release is a statement beyond eco-conscious elegance. It proposes to be a whisky that's not simply consumed but an ode to beauty reproduced from waste. Previously a by-product of the brand's iconic oak casks, discarded oak chippings are reborn as packaging for the single malt.
On the nose, a blend of vanilla bean, sweet sherbet, and lime—an introduction that evolves into delicate pears nestled within creamy panna cotta. Tastewise: a buttery shortbread with a sprinkle of lightly toasted coconut is brought to the table, balanced with almond brittle and apple.
Hints of orchard and artisanal dessert are underpinned, of course, by sweet oak; your tasting journey ends on a note that feels both familiar and refined; a testament to the days to come.

This reimagined Old Fashioned is the brainchild of Zack Lee, mixologist and founder of Lunì. Called Echoes of the Woods, this cocktail channels the essence of ancient forests. The Macallan Classic Cut 2024 provides a rich, oak-forward depth, balanced by the comforting sweetness of homemade vanilla syrup. Benzoin tincture adds resinous, aromatic intrigue, while the orange zest enhances the sensory experience, blending its bright, citrus scent with the benzoin’s earthy warmth. Each sip evokes the timeless allure of woodlands, warm and mysterious.

Lukas Kaufmann, general manager of the lauded 28 HongKong Street, returns to basics with this drink. Highlighting the flavour profile of The Macallan Classic Cut 2024, Kaufmann serves up an Old Fashioned—a perfect tribute to the nascent days of cocktail-making. Noting that The Macallan Classic Cut 2024 single malt was matured in a combination of sherryseasoned European and American oak, and ex-bourbon casks, Kaufmann adds PX sherry to bring out the nutty notes that are also complemented by chocolate bitters. For a finishing touch, this Old Fashioned is paired with a toasted butter wafer.

Conceptualised as parts of a dinner course, Michael Mendoza, head mixologist of Ginger.Lily, meant for the “Starter” cocktail to be a simple and refined way to enjoy The Macallan Classic Cut 2024. A splash of water unlocks the subtle fruit and caramel spice notes; a dropper of soda draws from the classic Highball, enhancing the drink with refreshing fizz; a touch of cranberry levels out the sweetness and tartness: this is an encapsulation of the whisky’s bold character coupled with a satisfying kick.

“The inspiration [for my version of the Rob Roy] came from one of my favourite classics and also one of the first cocktails I learnt that sparked my interest when I started out in the bar.” – Mark Ng, bar manager

“Sherry Cherry celebrates The Macallan’s A Night on Earth in Jerez. Blending its rich sherry-cask heritage with the vibrant sweetness of cherry purée. Fino sherry gives it a dry, nutty depth, while sumac provides a modern tang, creating an elevated and celebratory twist on a classic whisky sour.” – Leslie Kuzmenko, bar manager

Putting a modern twist on the Godfather (a ’70s classic made from Scotch whisky and Amaretto), Jungle Ballroom’s bar manager, Adrian Besa sees this cocktail as an Old Fashioned with an attitude. Because why use sugar when you can use flavoursome liqueur or spirits? Replacing the Amaretto with peanut butter rum for that nutty element, Besa also added an Asian Salted Caramel Vodka and Chocolate bitters for structure and complexity to the drink. “In the present world where we are presented with the rise of boutique liqueurs and spirits from the Asian region, we now have the opportunity to explore new flavour combinations with classic spirits that have a new character like The Macallan [A Night on Earth in Jerez],” says Besa.

Playing with the idea of fleeting time, Night Hawk’s chief bartender and owner, Peter Chua, reimagines the Rob Roy. The Macallan A Night on Earth in Jerez is poured neat with an ice cube that’s made out of Pedro Ximinez and Fino sherry, raspberry puree, Angostura bitters, chocolate liqueur and a frozen raspberry fruit—ingredients that made up the Rob Roy component. As the ice melts, it slowly releases the flavours over time, allowing the drinker to taste The Macallan A Night on Earth in Jerez on its own before the rest of the flavours come in to complete the Rob Roy variation—the passing of time reveals another unexpected moment.

This is Cleven Pacarat’s (Astor Bar’s bartender) reimagined take on the classic eggnog. Christened the AI Greek Eggnog, it uses The Macallan A Night on Earth in Jerez and is fat-washed with peanut butter to derive a nutty flavour to complement the Frangelico. Instead of heavy cream and milk, Pacarat uses yoghurt for that bit of tartness and maple syrup for the sweetness. Finally, this dessert cocktail gets a sprinkling of clove powder and garnished with candied raspberry leather.

The future is what you make of it. With that in mind, Baia’s bar manager, Adonis Reyes, chose a path of experimentation into sustainability that led to a delightful dessert. Inspired by the horchata drink (traditionally made with toasted rice, cinnamon sticks, and the optional cream or milk). Taking the base flavours of horchata, Reyes incorporates them into an ice-cream that’s added to the whisky, inviting guests to luxuriate in a new sensorial experience.

Named Philoso’Me, this drink is a true reflection of Side Door’s co-founder and head of beverage, Bannie Kang’s philosophy on cocktail crafting. Harmonising her unique perspective with the essence of The Macallan Harmony IV Vibrant Oak, Philoso’Me exemplifies simplicity while paying homage to the classic Rob Roy. Enhanced by an Asian twist of winter melon, it delivers a perfectly balanced, rounded, and elegant experience in every sip.

It’s an eternal battle to maintain the give-and-take relationship of our time on the planet. As the future showcases possibilities, there needs to be efforts taken in trying to ensure that there is a future. Kee’s goal (like all the bars featured here) is to minimise wastage and use repurposed ingredients for their cocktails. Glynn Tay, Director of Food & Beverage explains that working with the culinary team is the first step towards any cocktail. This drink honours the earthy, coastal notes of shio kombu with the sherry-seasoned oak-aged richness of The Macallan Harmony IV Vibrant Oak. The result: an umami-forward cocktail with the briny kombu complementing the whisky’s vanilla, citrus and sweet oaky notes. To further the enjoyment of the journey, Tay suggests taking a sip before and after tasting the kombu cereal salt on the rim.

Moving towards the future, with the ideology that “less is more”, PLUME’s head mixologist, Ong Jun Han crafts a drink that looks simple but, in its making, isn’t. Using avant-garde techniques to craft the mango soda, Ong, brings out the tropical notes of “Future Bloom” from The Macallan Harmony IV Vibrant Oak’s expression.

As with all commemorations, there comes the celebration. A cake accompanies a birthday; first place gets a gold medal... what of a bicentenary? In The Macallan's case, what do they draw from in their 200 years of existence that encapsulates everything that they have been, what they are and what they will be? Die antwoord? A multi-sensorial pop-up that threads the brand's animated past towards The Macallan's vision of the future. Meet The Macallan's The Heart of the Spirit.
Taking place at Clarke Quay Warehouse B, the pop-up acts as a portal into The Macallan's heritage. To start, guests will witness a tribute to The Macallan's founders and their respective trials and tribulations in setting The Macallan up and passing it into the hands of the next generation. From Alexander Reid to Janet Harbinson, the stories of these stalwarts of the brand come to life through the visuals of Javi Aznarez and the poetry of Jenni Fagan. Via an 18-minute visual narrative, guests will be mesmerised by The Macallan’s 200-year history and get to nurse The Macallan Sherry Oak 18 Years Old.
Other than the tactile exhibits and interactive storytelling, a limited-edition book—numbering in only 1,000 copies—will feature 200 original poems and illustrations from Fagan and Aznarez—will be released later this year. "It has been a deeply rewarding experience to explore the archives of The Macallan," says Fagan. "Giving poetic life to the people, places, and stories of this iconic brand has been a privilege and I can’t wait to share it with the world."
At the end of the immersive experience, guests can relax at the bar area and are rewarded with special cocktails crafted for this occasion. The cherries on top are the limited-edition The Macallan bottles that embody the brand's 200-year craft—the TIME:SPACE Collection. These limited dual-chamber vessels carry two kinds of whiskies—a 1940 vintage bottled at 43.6 per cent ABV and a 2018 vintage (the first whisky from The Macallan’s new Easter Elchies estate distillery) bottled at 54.9 per cent. Purchase of TIME:SPACE is through an invitation from The Macallan ("Don't call us, we'll call you" sorta deal).
For the rest of us, there's the TIME:SPACE Mastery a blend of 14 cask types for that many-layer complexity to both nose and palate. Housed in a circular vessel, with 200 shards (representative of nature's protectiveness of all things precious), the whisky is bottled at 43.6 per cent. Interested buyers can make their purchase here.
Jaume Ferràs, Creative Director of The Macallan, notes: "With The Heart of The Spirit, we’re offering an unparalleled voyage through time, immersing guests in our rich history, ethos and the remarkable people who have shaped The Macallan’s journey."
The Macallan's The Heart of the Spirit is held at Clarke Quay Warehouse B, until 22 September. Tickets are priced at SGD 48
It's that time when the editorial staff get to ruminate about what this year has given us. From the products that impressed the pants off of us to the drinks that got us asking for seconds, this Christmas, we present some of our favourite things that have our stamps of approval.
We don't like being a "sheeple" but every time we think of switching to another smartphone, the annual Apple keynote keeps us anchored to the next model. The iPhone 15 Pro series had new additions: a faster A17 chip; an upgraded camera technology; a Dynamic Island in place of that damnable notch; a titanium casing... But the biggest "OMG finally" news is the phasing out of the brand's propriety Lightning connector for the USB-C (thanks EC laws!). All in all, the iPhone 15 Pro is enough to keep us enamoured until the next Apple keynote.
You know an item’s a winner when it’s pretty much unavailable in boutiques islandwide (trust me, I’ve checked, multiple times). There’s just something about Loewe’s Anagram denim jeans that makes it a covetable piece. Perhaps it’s the simplicity of the Anagram motif right on the knees; or the draw of brand ambassador Taeyong of NCT wearing one for the brand’s Pre-Spring 2024 campaign. Either way, this is high on the list of things I’d recommend (someone) getting (for us).
“CarbonGold” is a mix of high-tech carbon and gold elements that was first introduced in 1993. Bulgari recently outfitted the Octo Finissimo Automatic with said material but the maison went further with that by adorning the carbon cases with rose gold crowns and the carbon dial with matching gold-coloured accents. The case, strap and dial are crafted from exceptionally lightweight, anthracite-coloured carbon with a matte finish. Gold bridges and a gold-plated platinum off-centred micro-rotor is added to the automatic winding; this clearly is a thing of beauty.
In a time when Xiaomi and Dreame are already putting out their own robovacuum, Dyson is pretty late to the game. But for a company that is stringent about its tech, the delay is warranted. The 360 Vis Nav model has the brand's patented cyclone tech, which has 65AW of suction power and automatically uses more suction power when more dust is detected; meaning EVERYTHING that gets in the machine's path gets sucked up. And, unlike the other robovaccums on the market, the machine's camera is situated on top; which scans its surroundings and maps out your home. It's the most expensive robovacuum on the market but the engineering is worth every penny.
For a brand known for its outdoorsy ruggedness, it made perfect sense that Luminox and survivalist, Bear Grylls' paths would intertwine. The team-up yields the Mountain Series, a collection of four watches that marks the 25th year of Grylls' 1998 climb of Mount Everest. The limited edition version has a white dial, deep blue strap and a red crown that matches the hues of the Nepal flag. The caseback is etched with Mount Everest itself and the chapter ring with “8848M”, which as you Everestheads would clue to is the mountain's altitude. With only 800 pieces worldwide, the Limited Edition Mountain timepiece also has a removable bull bar to protect the dial. And with it's highlighted with Luminox’s Light Technology, which ensures every Luminox timepiece is visible in any light conditions for up to 25 years.
The perfect cropped hoodie exists and it’s by Entire Studios. The Los Angeles-based brand is known for its exaggerated puffer jackets but the hoodies are cut quite beautifully too. Designed cropped and with extended sleeves, it’s the perfect hoodie to layer over just about anything, or not. Upgrade your usual airport fit for this and you’d probably never want to wear anything else when travelling.
We raved about Jabra's Elite 7 Active but the newer version really takes the cake. We had previous earbuds that we use for running and they never could stay in the ears. Especially, when they hit the ground, they tend to get scraped up (you'll be missed Klipsch T5). Jabra's Elite 8 Active is marketed as the world's most durable earbuds and buddy... they are right. The Elite 8 Active went through nine US military-grade testings. Nine. Do you know how tough your product has to be to get that sorta certification? And you know how certain products are "water resistant"? The Elite 8 Active is WATERPROOF. Sweat, rain, submersion, waterboarding... these earbuds can weather whatever wetness you throw at it. And the cherry on top? Their patented Jabra ShakeGrip trait (a Liquid Silicon Rubber compound) kept these suckers firmly in my ears. Oh, and add to that are the Dolby-powered 6mm speakers; an Adaptive Hybrid ANC and HearThrough feature really round up the Elite 8 Active. We can't recommend this enough.
We still stand by the superiority of ear cuffs—there’s no needless skin-poking and you can always take them off whenever. This duo-gold Chanel ear cuff sits comfortably right at the top of the ear to give an illusion of wearing two cuffs at the same time. We’d pair it with another cuff towards the lobe for added bling but just the one on its own makes for an edgy statement this Christmas.
'Tis that season where it is acceptable to open up that celebratory wine ("What can we say, we're traditionalists"). But wine is the sort of drink that requires a commitment to polishing the entire thing off. That's where Coravin comes in handy. Its Timeless range is a wine preserver. Without uncorking the bottle, the Timeless device uses a hollow needle to extract the wine by perforating the cork. It also fills the bottle with argon gas to pressurise it, keeping it as fresh as the day it was bottled. When the needle is removed, the cork reseals, protecting the wine from oxidation. Now in two new limited-edition colourways that are inspired by exploration—Timeless Three+ in Deep Sea Blue (shown in pic) and Timeless Six+ in Mist—the Coravin allows us to savour our bottles at our own pace.
Not quite ugly and not quite a Christmas jumper, but the Radar jumper by OAMC is the kind of statement piece you’d want to bust out every winter travel. The cut is perfection, amplified by structured raglan sleeves that display the radar-inspired design to its full effect. Sure, it’s a bit pricey for something partly made from polyester but you’re really paying for the design and cut with this one.
The average Woodford Reserve 750ml is a tasty treat in a glass but do you ever wanna drink in style? Like real opulent-like? Welp, there's the Woodford Reserve's Baccarat Edition. This is an experience at PLUME. Order yourself a Birds of Baccarat cocktail where you have your Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition—a masterful mix of select XO Cognac barrels (American and French oak)—that's mixed with saffron, cinnamon, manuka honey and garnished gold flakes. And it's served in a Baccarat crystal glass. It'll cost you a pretty penny—SGD1,688++ but not only do you get a serving of the Birds of Baccarat Cocktail, you'd also take home the Baccarat glass it came in, as well as a special Baccarat crystal rabbit zodiac figurine.
You're familiar with Devialet, especially with their Mania portable speakers. Beneath these beatific shells lie its pulsing heart—the aluminium full-range drivers (4) and woofers (2). Full-range in its processing, that covers the entire audio spectrum from bass to medium to treble. The Mania's adaptive 360° sound wraps you in a tapestry of melodies; each note is experienced with clarity and depth. And now it comes in two new colourways—Sunset Rose and Sandstorm. Something for Christmas, surely?
A spirits brand with a lifestyle collection with Stella and Mary McCartney? Yes, please. The curated set called TOGETHER, drew inspiration from nature. It includes vibrant handmade glassware, an ombre ceramic flask encased in an apple leather alternative sleeve, brass ice stamps with hand-painted ceramic handles and a brass napkin weight shaped like an acorn—a tribute to the oak casks maturing The Macallan whisky. And if homeware isn't up your alley, there's always the third edition of The Harmony Collection, which features two distinctive expressions: Amber Meadow and Green Meadow.
If you’re like us and you’ve grown up on all the commercially driven lore of Christmas—Santa, elves, reindeers and whatnot—you’d appreciate Swarovski’s latest Christmas-themed collection. The Holiday Cheers line features a range of icons crafted from crystals that’ll sit pretty all year round. And because Swarovski makes them different year after year, here’s to starting a new collection.
Grail may have underwent a rebrand but it still retains its firm commitment to sustainability. Another surprise from this local brand: the sunscreen (pictured, second from left). Made with a unique eco-friendly formula, it doesn't have that thick sticky residue that your conventional sunscreen has. The application of the Daily SPF 50+++ (maybe someone should come up with a simpler name?) is so light that it almost feels like there was nothing slathered on to begin with.
The Macallan has partnered with Bentley, collaborated with Christopher Kane, has an entire experience at the The Macallan House. A lifestyle collection with Stella and Mary McCartney, though, was not on our bingo list. The limited edition series, TOGETHER, marks the first creative union of the McCartney sisters.
The McCartney sisters' emotional ties to Scotland have inspired the designs crafted with master artisans and craftspeople. The complete set includes vibrant handmade glassware, an ombre ceramic flask encased in an apple leather alternative sleeve, brass ice stamps with hand-painted ceramic handles, and a brass napkin weight shaped like an acorn—a tribute to the oak casks maturing The Macallan whisky.
The curated selection draw inspiration from the natural beauty of the forests, the sea, and the River Spey. The green hues represent The Macallan Estate, amber tones nod to the whisky's natural color, and the color red symbolises the brand's deep respect for tradition, craftsmanship, and nature—a core value of The Macallan for almost 200 years.
The McCartney sisters have also collaborated on the third edition of The Harmony Collection, which feature two distinctive expressions: Amber Meadow and Green Meadow. Packaging is made from discarded meadow cuttings, showcasing a commitment to sustainability, with Mary McCartney's photography of The Macallan Estate.
“This range wouldn’t be what it is if we weren’t able to spend that time with The Macallan," says Mary McCartney, who has previously worked with the brand. "I felt really proud to bring my little sister with me to The Macallan Estate on Speyside, as I knew Stella would fall in love with this just as much as I did."
“We feel really lucky to be launching our first collaboration and making this range of pieces with The Macallan,” Stella McCartney added. “The Macallan, Mary and I wanted to create a collection that celebrated the highest quality of materials and incredible craftmanship that would be fitting of the shared values between us all. We envisaged pieces that were limited, yet would work together as a family. The idea was to have it live in your home, stand out, and of course be of the highest quality.”
TOGETHER: A Collection for The Macallan by Stella and Mary McCartney.
After months of renovation, The Macallan House reveals its stunningly transformed space. Housed at Raffles Singapore, the experiential retail space showcases The Macallan Estate in Scotland. Following the success of The Macallan Experience in 2020 and the strong relationships built through the boutique, The Macallan built the concept of "Nature Culture" to exemplify the brand's commune with nature and time through multi-sensory touch points. Designed by renowned architect Jamie Fobert, visitors will traipse through the 3,000 square area and experience nature through "sight, scent, touch and taste".
No detail is too small for the construction of The Macallan House Singapore. Each aspect of the different spaces showcases key elements of our six pillars making up the storied history of the brand and the mastery that plays into every drop of The Macallan. Like the copper walls (represents The Macallan's curiously small stills); the colour red (associated with Alexander Reid, The Macallan's founding father); Albariza stone (celebrates the fertile soil from Jerez la Fronter, Spain, home to the sherry wine cask that The Macallan is aged in); waved walls (illustrates the River Spey and the beauty of the Scottish county) and oak flooring (denotes use of the sherry seasoned casks that gives our whiskies its unique flavour profile and natural colour).
The exquisite design of The Macallan House Singapore brings together unique references from the brand. Embodying the spirit of innovation and creativity, it strengthens the profound connection to nature that defines The Macallan.
Collaborating with Singaporean artists like Nathan Yong and Tiffany Loy adds a local specialness to the occasion. Yong's sculpture "The Estate" and Tiffany Loy's woven fabric mural, "Natural Colour," are inspired by The Macallan’s commitment towards the natural colour of its whiskies and its amber hues. To round up the sensory aspect of the experience, Mimi Xu Studio provides an original ambient score—"The Macallan Ballad" which is a field recording of the surrounding nature sounds from The Macallan Estate.
Walking through The Macallan House adds on to the chapters in the ongoing story of The Macallan. Be transported to the grounds of Speyside, Scotland. Where you're privy to the rich biodiversity that nature affords in The Macallan's ethos. Via the sight, scents, sound and even touch, experience the four micro-climates of The Macallan Estate: the fields of barley; the River Spey; the woodland and Easter Elchies House.
The Macallan House will host various seasonal programmes and menus from 13 September. Other offerings like the daily gift wrapping and bottle engraving are available every Saturday. To celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, from 14-30 September, a complimentary Raffles Singapore signature mooncake will accompany every dram ordered.
