DFS Group, the world’s leading luxury travel retailer, is to host the third edition of The Whiskey Festival at Singapore Changi Airport. Taking place from now until June 17, the festival is set to celebrate some of the world’s finest whiskies and provide travelers with a platform to expand their whiskey knowledge and immerse themselves in some of the classics.

Throughout the festival, travelers will be invited to taste some of the world’s best whiskies, including rare and limited-edition items, some of which are exclusively available only at DFS. A line-up of interactive masterclasses will take place each weekend, where leading brand ambassadors will be on hand to guide guests through an interactive tasting of handpicked whiskies and offer expert advice.

“As interest in whiskey continues to grow, we aim to provide our customers with the best selection of products as well as a unique and engaging retail experience,” said Wilcy Wong, DFS Group Managing Director, Singapore and Indonesia. “DFS Singapore, Changi Airport is home to the largest assortment of single malt whiskies in Southeast Asia, so we feel education is important. The Whiskey Festival offers guests an opportunity to really understand our brands, their craftsmanship and their heritage.”

The Festival activities will take place at The Whiskey House, located in Terminal 2 (T2) and Terminal 4 (T4), at DFS Singapore, Changi Airport. Since opening in July 2016 in T2 and in November 2017 in T4, The Whiskey House has been a popular spot for travelers and whiskey aficionados alike. The space offers an intuitive and experiential shopping destination where guests can enjoy complimentary tastings of over 100 different whiskies from across the globe.

Ms Teo Chew Hoon, Group Senior Vice President for Airside Concessions, Changi Airport Group, said, “Together with DFS, we reignite the senses as we showcase a rich blend of the world’s most loved whiskey at Changi Airport’s Whiskey Festival.
