Glenfiddich debuts Residence Cask at Changi Airport

Glenfiddich, ‘the world’s most awarded’ single malt Scotch whisky, is partnering with DFS Group, to launch the Glenfiddich Residence Cask Vintage 1992 at DFS Singapore Changi Airport.

The Glenfiddich Residence Cask Vintage 1992 edition comprises single cask releases chosen by Malt Master, Brian Kinsman, which are said to be in line with the ‘classic taste’ profile of Glenfiddich.

A select group of DFS VIPs were invited to ‘immerse themselves’ in a Glenfiddich ‘experience’ including exclusive tasting sessions, hosted by Kinsman, where he shared his insights into the ‘art and romance’ of whisky making.

Scott Hamilton, APAC Travel Retail Director said: “This event is more than a launch of an exceptional whisky. It is a great example of the close and successful partnership between DFS Singapore Changi Airport and William Grant and Sons.

“We have the opportunity to showcase our unique range of products to the right audience and for DFS, they keep their privileged customers excited, giving them more reasons to stay loyal to the DFS and Glenfiddich brands. We are thrilled to have this opportunity and I certainly look forward to the next exclusive launch with DFS.”
Owners of these exclusive bottles can also fill out a leather-bound ledger book, which will be sent back to the distillery and put on display, becoming a part of Glenfiddich’s history.The Glenfiddich Residence Cask Vintage 1992 bottles are individually numbered and presented in hand-crafted leather boxes featuring detailed cask information. Shoppers have the option to personalise the ‘foot label’ upon purchase.

Matured in American Oak (ex-Bourbon) cask number 8247, this 22-year-old spirit is distilled in 1992 and bottled at cask strength of 58.7%. The release is limited to only 200 bottles and exclusively available to DFS.

This launch coincides with the opening of the Glenfiddich Residence Changi, a shop-in-shop at DFS Group’s new double-storey Wines and Spirits flagship store at Terminal 3 Changi Airport.
