Glenglassaugh’s Reawakened Spirit

<em><sup>Source Glennglassaugh<sup><em>

Glenglassaugh is introducing a new era with a revitalized portfolio and updated design, aligning seamlessly with Singapore’s tropical climate and the coastal setting of the whisky. The flagship 12-year-old single malt, representing Glenglassaugh’s distinctive coastal style, is featured prominently with a new design reflecting sea grass tones to capture the essence of the coastal environment. Additionally, two new whiskies, Sandend and Portsoy, embody the rich coastal essence of Glenglassaugh. Sandend, influenced by the crescent beach of Sandend Bay, undergoes maturation in bourbon, sherry, and manzanilla casks, creating a tropical sweetness with a hint of sea salt. Portsoy, named after the nearby harbour village, showcases a robust and deeply maritime flavour profile stemming from its richly peated single malt matured in sherry, bourbon, and port casks.

Purchase from Brown Forman Official Stores on Shopee and Lazada, iShop Changi or Malt Wine Asia Online Store.

Champagne Lombard Brut Nature

Indulge in the Champagne Lombard Brut Nature Grand Cru Blanc de Blanc. With 50% Chardonnays sourced from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, experience a refreshing and mineral character. The inclusion of Chouilly and Cramant adds a rounded quality, while Avize contributes finesse and elegance. Available at a discounted price of S$78 (originally S$98) at Bottles and Bottles.

Champagne Lombard presents a ‘Terroir’ collection, and within it, you’ll find the Brut Nature Verzenay Grand Cru Lieu Dit ‘Les Corettes.’ Despite its complex name, this Blanc de Noir is straightforward: a Brut Nature, meaning no additional sugar (dosage) is added during vinification. Crafted from grapes grown in the Maison’s Grand Cru ‘Les Corettes’ vineyard, which benefits from a west-facing orientation and excellent sun exposure, this cuvée boasts a harmonious blend of structure and fruity intensity. Priced at S$118 (UP S$156) at Bottles and Bottles.
