The House of Suntory Debuts Two Signature Showcases
The House of Suntory leads this year’s programme with two major highlights, starting with an unprecedented Japanese Whisky Panel Session on 28 November at 1:30 PM.
Five of Japan’s most influential whisky makers, including Shinji Fukuyo (Suntory), Hiromi Ozaki (Nikka), Jota Tanaka (Kirin), Yoshitsugu Komasa (Kanosuke) and Yumi Yoshikawa (Chichibu), will come together in Singapore for the first time to discuss the evolution and future of Japanese whisky.
Guests can also attend A Story of Yamazaki Mizunara Oak, a masterclass led by Shinji Fukuyo featuring tastings of the newly released Hibiki Artist Collaboration with Hiroshi Senju. Ultra-rare pours of Hibiki 21 Year Old and Hibiki 30 Year Old will be available in limited quantities.
Discover Rare Limited-Edition Whiskies at Unmatched Festival Prices
Whisky Journey 2025 showcases an outstanding collection of limited-edition and debut whiskies, many available for tasting at the lowest prices worldwide. Highlights include the Singapore-exclusive Aberlour Single Cask 17 Year Old and Nikka’s Whisky From The Barrel Extra Marriage, launched for the brand’s 40th anniversary.
Bruichladdich’s Micro Provenance Single Cask #1558 – Singapore Limited Edition 2025 also makes its debut, alongside the exceptionally rare Duncan Taylor Port Ellen 1983 30 Year Old, a prized expression distilled before Port Ellen’s historic closure.
Exclusive SG60 Collectible Bottlings and Festival-Only Releases
Whisky Journey 2025 raises the bar for collectors with the highly anticipated SG60 Collection, created to celebrate Singapore’s 60th anniversary. Key highlights include the Springbank 20 Year Old (Distilled 2004), one of six commemorative single casks honouring the close ties between Singapore’s whisky community and renowned distilleries across Scotland and Ireland. Whisky legend Frank McHardy also contributes to the celebrations with the SG60 Speyside 28 Year Old, a tribute to his longstanding connection with Singapore.
This year’s festival also presents a record number of bottles crafted exclusively for Whisky Journey 2025. Highlights include the Raasay SG60 Single Cask, an ex-Chinkapin unpeated release limited to 320 bottles, and the Currach Pandan Cask Finish Single Cask, inspired by Singapore’s iconic pandan aroma. Completing the lineup is the Bunnahabhain 15 Year Old 2009 Ruby Port Cask Finish, a festival-exclusive Islay malt limited to just 300 bottles and admired for its ruby fruit richness and velvety sweetness.
New Immersive Highlights and the Future of Whisky Ownership
Whisky Journey 2025 debuts fresh experiences that elevate the festival beyond traditional tastings. Guests can personalise their Glencairn glasses or purchased bottles with complimentary engraving services, available in limited quantities each day.
The festival also looks ahead with the introduction of BottledNFT.com, a tokenisation-powered platform that reimagines how collectors buy, sell and discover rare whisky. Adding to the excitement is the inaugural Top 10 Favourite Bottles Awards, where attendees vote for their favourite drams and stand a chance to win a bottle they selected.
With rare pours, interactive programming and innovative whisky technology, Whisky Journey 2025 offers an unforgettable weekend celebrating craft, community and discovery.
