The Whisky Festival Returns to Changi Airport

Have some time to kill before you fly? You might want to pop by The Whisky Festival at Changi Airport Terminal 3. Organised by leading luxury travel retailer DFS Group, this is the fourth such festival to date and this year’s rendition sees the first-ever pop-up bar. The theme is inspired by a deconstructed whisky cask, aiming to demystify the whisky-making process. 

You get to sip on some of the world’s most delicious range of whiskies served neat at a bar inspired by the atmosphere of Speakeasy bars of the 1920s Jazz Era. With DFS Singapore Changi Airport offering the largest selection of over 400 whiskies, a myriad of DFS exclusive and world firsts for travellers and whisky lovers to explore, you’re bound to find something you’d like to take home with you. Highlights of The Whisky Festival include Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10, Compass Box No Name, No.2, Glenmorangie Rare Cask 1399, Johnnie Walker Black Triple Cask Edition and Royal Salute 21 Year Old Lost Blend.
