Manhattan x Maker’s Mark Private Select Bourbon

In collaboration with Maker’s Mark Private Select Series, Manhattan is set to reveal a bespoke Maker’s Mark Bourbon custom-finished with 10 very distinct wood staves, including Seared French Cuvée, Maker’s Mark 46, Roasted French Mocha and Toasted French Spice staves. Incorporating intense woody characteristics of oak, allspice, and hints of honeysuckle and pipe tobacco, this amber elixir is a result of six months of experimentation to get a very versatile and approachable bourbon. Being the first bar in Asia to work together with Maker’s Mark on such a scale, they’ve produced an incredibly limited edition bottling you don’t want to miss.

Manhattan is located at 1 Cuscaden Rd, Level 2 Regent Singapore, Singapore 249715, p. +65 6725 3377. The Maker’s Mark Private Select Bourbon will be launched on 25 March 2020, 7pm – 9pm at the American Whiskey Embassy. Only 240 bottles are available for purchase at S$288++ per bottle.
