Whisky Journey 2020 has come and gone, and i had a really awesome time traveling around Singapore to visit the fifteen participating bars over the ten-day period.
with the impressive range of whiskies available and diverse experiences at each of the bars, here’s a quick ‘round-up’ of the highlights for me:
- favourite whisky: Bunnahabhain Toiteach A Dhà (loved it so much i bought not one, but two bottles at Whisky Journey prices) - review here.
- second favourite whisky: Tomatin Cask Strength (loved it so much i bought a bottle from Whisky Journey Singapore) - review here.
- most unique whisk(e)y experience: Currach Single Malt Irish Whiskey from Origin Spirits Ireland - a strong blend of soy sauce, toasted sesame, briney seaweed and a rich buttery goodness as it transitions into umami salted caramel on the finish. full review here.
- top three memorable bar experiences, with special thanks to those who had gone above and beyond to make it that way:
Whisky Journey 2020 was definitely an eye-opening experience, and i'm so glad that i was able to take part this year. it allowed me to not only expand and refine my palate better, but also to discover new distilleries and watering holes to which i would gladly return again.
if you’re curious about my detailed thoughts on any of the bars or whiskies, do check out the label ‘Whisky Journey 2020’ on my blog.
there's also a Whisky Journey 2020 summary guide over on my Instagram @sniffsandscribbles, as well as a satisfying video of flipping through all the stamps in my completed passport!
