New Bar Alert – The Cooperage @ 42 Hong Kong Street

We have many whisky-centric bars in Singapore. The vast choice creates a headache for the whisky lovers sometimes when they need to choose a bar to hang out with like-minded friends. As many whisky bars open, the need to be different becomes essential as each bar strives to build its clientele. We have recently come […]

Whisky Review #101 – Port Charlotte 2004 Highland Laird
