XM Channels The Roaring Twenties With New Spirits Collection
In partnership with Warner Bros, Singapore design studio XM has launched The Great Gatsby Single Cask Spirits Collection, comprising three single cask selections of Scotch Single Malt and Cognac. XM’s first venture into the spirits industry sees The Great Gatsby Bunnahabhain 1991 Single Cask with sweet, fruity and spicy notes, The Great Gatsby Glen Grant 1998 Single Cask boasting hints of green apple and barley sugar, and The Great Gatsby Vallein Tercinier Petit Champagne 1994 Single Cask with smoky and herbal flavours. Channelling the spirit of lavish parties in the Roaring Twenties and the Jazz Age, they’re produced with no colouring, and are non-chill filtered and undiluted to fully live up to their quality and collectability.

Sip Some Back On Singapore Sling Day
Home of the renowned drink, Raffles Hotel Singapore is back again with its Singapore Sling Day in conjunction with International Pineapple Day for the second year running. First invented in 1915 by Ngiam Tong Boon, a Hainanese bartender at Raffles Hotel Singapore, the world-famous cocktail was an ingenious way to disguise a cocktail as a fruit juice. Head to Long Bar on 27 June 2022 to celebrate the tropical pineapple fruit, which has become a symbol of hospitality, and a key ingredient in the iconic cocktail. Exchange a pineapple at the bar for a complimentary glass of Singapore Sling. The promotion is limited to the first 100 redemptions, so make sure you get there early!
Singapore Sling Day runs on the 27 June 2022, at Long Bar, Raffles Arcade, 328 North Bridge Rd, #02-01, Singapore 188719, p. +65 64121816.
