WARNING: HIGH VAULTAGE
15 Aug 2018 By Xin Hui Helder-Eng
You’d Want to Stand Up For This. There is Now a Whisky Museum in Singapore. Come For The Tour, Stay For The Drams. Pick Up Some Whisky Knowledge, Drop Some Coins at The Gift-Shop.
Complete with smelling stations and your very own ambassador-guide in the form of a cellarmaster-collector-curator. The tour takes no more than 10 at a time, and promises you a journey from Scotland to Japan through sight, smell, taste, geography and history.
“The moment you step into The Grande Whisky Collection, you will be transported into the rich and complex world of fine whisky. You will experience a journey from the highlands of Scotland to the distilleries of Japan, tasting, smelling and seeing the whisky-making process, surrounded by some of the rarest, oldest and finest whiskies in the world.” ~ Christopher Lee, Director of The Whisky Trust
COME FOR THE TOUR, STAY FOR THE GIFT SHOP
The 3,600 sq. ft. Grande Whisky Collection is home to some 4,500 bottles with a tasting parlour that’s stacked floor-to-ceiling six metres high with whisky bottles, prompting us to ask questions like:
- “If there was a fire, and you could only save 2 bottles from the vault…”
- “If there was an earthquake, which shelf would you stand next to…”
- “What’s the total value of everything in here?”
Perfect discussion topics over some drams.
The Grande Whisky Collection is located on the fifth floor of ION Orchard
