Loved for its complex flavours and aromas, whisky is the drink of choice for many who enjoy a sip of alcohol at the end of a long day or on special occasions.
To celebrate each glass’s versatility and uniqueness, iShopChangi is having a Whisky Festival Sale with discounts of up to 44%.
Glenfiddich and Johnnie Walker are just two of the renowned brands that will have their prices slashed during the event from 16 to 29 Mar.
And the best part of this promotion is that both travellers and non-travellers can enjoy huge savings on their favourite booze, so there’s no need to chop your passports for this one.
Whether you prefer scotch, single malt, blended or Japanese, there will be a bottle of whisky that suits your liking going at lower prices at the iShopChangi Whisky Festival Sale.
For instance, there will be a bundle of two Glenfiddich 18-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskies going for S$331 (U.P. S$460).

Produced in the rolling hills of Dufftown, Scotland, Glenfiddich’s single malt whisky has a reputation that has travelled far beyond its homeland and is now known as one of the best whiskies in the world.
Using only the finest ingredients, such as pure spring water and locally grown malted barley, the concoction is distilled in copper pots for then aged in oak barrels for at least 12 years.
The result is a whisky with a distinct flavour and aroma, a balance of sweet, fruity notes with a hint of oak and smoke.
Those who buy the bundle will even get two nosing glasses and two miniature bottles of the beverage worth a total of S$40 for free, making the purchase even more worthwhile.
Old Pulteney also has freebies with every purchase of its flagship 12-year-old expression whisky at the iShopChangi sale.
Retailing at S$250 (U.P. S$359), each purchase of the Old Pulteney 12 Years bundle, which includes two bottles, comes with a free pair of Masterclass tickets worth S$100.

Known for its smooth, creamy texture and sweet, malty flavour with a hint of brine and a touch of spice, Old Pulteney’s whiskies have won numerous awards over the years, including ‘World’s Best Single Malt Whisky’ at the World Whiskies Awards for its 21-year-old expression.
Thus, it’s not surprising to hear that they are highly regarded by enthusiasts and often sought after for their unique flavour and quality.
You might just impress even your most discerning friends with your choice of drink.
Instead of finicking around the different brands and expressions, customers looking for a great deal can consider the products from The GlenDronach, which are discounted by up to 15% at iShopChangi’s Whiskey Festival Sale.
One of them is The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 10.

Coming in at S$149 (U.P. S$168), the limited edition single malt scotch whisky is part of the distillery’s popular Cask Strength series, which — as its name suggests — is known for its high-quality, unfiltered whiskies bottled at their natural cask strength.
In simpler terms, these drinks pack a bigger punch as their contents are drawn directly from the cask instead of undergoing additional dilution. Perfect for those who need an extra kick from each sip.
It’s impossible to talk about whisky brands without a mention of Johnnie Walker, which is said to be the most widely distributed brand of blended scotch whisky in the world.
The brand’s Blue Label series is created using a selection of rare whiskies from across Scotland — only one in 10,000 casks is considered to have the right quality and flavour to deliver its signature taste.

Drink it straight to fully savour its smoky notes of vanilla, honey, chocolate, and spice, or unleash your inner bartender and whip up creative cocktails like a Whisky Scotch Highball or Old Fashioned for your dinner guests.
One bottle is now on sale for just S$245 (U.P. S$299) during iShopChangi’s Whisky Festival, so hurry and grab one — or two — to avoid panicking over an empty alcohol cabinet before your next get-together.
Taiwan’s most famous beverage may be bubble tea, but it’s also home to Kavalan whiskies, which have won numerous awards over the years.

Just last month, Kavalan was crowned ‘Distillery of the Year’ at the 2023 Icons of Whisky Rest of World contest, which honours the best products outside of America, Ireland, Scotland, and India. It was also named ‘World Whisky Producer of the Year’ for the third consecutive year at the 2022 International Spirits Challenge.
The secret to their success is said to be the humid Taiwanese climate, which creates a spirit that’s complex, smooth, and rich with hints of tropical fruits.
If you’re keen to taste such prestige, the Kavalan Classic Single Malt Whisky will be available at the iShopChangi Whisky Festival Sale for S$128.
An iShopChangi exclusive, the Isle of Leomhann – Inaugural Edition is a single malt and cask whisky made especially for Singapore.
This whisky brand was born right here in the Lion City and this collector’s edition, which will be priced at S$150 (U.P. S$188) during the sale, is one of only 419 bottles available worldwide.

Aged for nine years and described as fresh and invigorating, the whisky has a thick texture that finishes light and fruity.
The drink also takes on a new lease on life if you let it sit for 10 minutes — according to Leomhann, this will allow the sweeter notes to step back and let the spices and woodiness take the spotlight.
Foodies would be glad to know that it pairs well with a wide range of dishes, from stir-fried vegetables to char siew to curry to chocolate. Yummy.
