Heads up, Whiskey connoisseurs! Taking a flight out of Changi Airport just got a whole lot more exciting. Following the successful opening of DFS’ first Wines and Spirits Duplex at Terminal 3, the award-winning airport takes it one step further, and brings us an even bigger space at Terminal 2 for all your wine, cigar and whiskey needs. And, if you lingered at the word whiskey (or whisky, if you prefer your scotch), they have got you sorted; with a seven-week long Whiskey Festival spanning across the two terminals!
From now till 10 September 2016, visitors can get up close and personal with the various whiskies, bourbons and other spirits they are fans of, or are new to, at the various galleries and boutiques designed uniquely for each distillery.
Come by Changi Airport during the weekends between 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM and grab the chance to meet the brand ambassadors at The Whiskey House at Level 2, Terminal 2 Duplex. After which, they can be found at The Long Bar by Raffles at Level 2, Terminal 3 Duplex.
