Woodford Reserve’s “The Wonderful Race” Returns

As part of its Old Fashioned month celebration this October, Woodford Reserve’s “The Wonderful Race” is back - now in its 3rd edition. 

 

Malaysia’s bartenders are challenged to craft the ultimate “All-Star Old Fashioned” — one that not only tastes great but redefines what this timeless cocktail can be.

India's Hapusa Gin

Hapusa calls itself the “world’s first Himalayan dry gin” because it uses juniper that actually grows in the Himalayas.

The name comes from the Sanskrit word for juniper, and the berries are foraged from near the Himalayan snow line. The higher altitude junipers are said to have a wilder, more resinous character than the cultivated varieties typically used in Western gins.

 

Planteray Cut & Dry Coconut Rum now in Malaysia

Cut & Dry Coconut is Planteray's new release, highlighting the two icons of Barbadian culture—coconuts and rum.

Ripe coconuts are harvested, cracked open by hand, and left to dry under the Caribbean sun, which concentrates their oils and flavour. These dried coconut chunks are then infused into a blend of Barbados column-still rum and pot-still rum (including their “Old Gregg” pot distillate). After infusion, the liquid is married with more Barbados rum.
