We flew to Taiwan last week from Changi Airport’s Terminal 3. We checked out some of the travel retail options, including the latest spirits, at Lotte Duty-Free. Local chocolatier Mr. Bucket and Decathlon have also opened pop-ups, making it convenient to grab more options for locally produced gifts for family and friends and last-minute sports gear that you forgot to bring along for your vacation.
Shilla Duty-Free‘s BOSS cross-category pop-up featured a BOSS Fragrance Zone featuring the latest BOSS Fragrances, including the BOSS Bottled Triumph Elixir, which is only available in Singapore now. Limited edition Bundle Sets with items from the Fashion Zone were also sold here. Travellers who spent S$350 or more could receive gifts with purchases ranging from miniature perfume to a luggage tag, soccer ball, travel bag, and water bottle. Unfortunately, this pop-up ended on 23 June 2024.
Mr. Bucket opens Pop Up
Mr Bucket Chocolaterie has opened its concept store within the departure/transit lounge at Singapore Changi Airport Temrinal 3. Taste the finest cacao from across Asia paired with beloved Singaporean favourites, encapsulated in an array of over 30 delectable chocolate creations.

Mr. Bucket Chocolaterie’s concept store is located at #02-K14, in Changi Airport Terminal 3. It’s on the left side when you clear immigration or the passport gantries.

Get the Bruichladdich 21 Year Old single malt whisky and Miami Polo Edition of Royal Salute 21 at Lotte Duty Free
Bruichladdich has unveiled new Global Travel Retail single malt whisky offerings including The Classic Laddie Sherry Cask Edition, The Bruichladdich Twenty One and the Bruichladdich Micro-Provenance Single Cask GTR series. The Bruichladdich Twenty One, part of Bruichladdich’s recently launched Luxury Redefined range, is new and exclusive to GTR. When Bruichladdich Distillery reopened in 2001 the team set out to reconnect land and dram, and the 21 Year Old single malt whisky is this vision realised. Matured solely on Islay for over two decades, with each barley varietal, individual farmer, and cask type fully traceable, The Bruichladdich Twenty One is possibly the highest provenance, ultra-premium single malt whisky ever created. This is priced at S$365.
Royal Salute‘s link to polo dates back over 15 years, and the newest polo-inspired expression comes endorsed by the celebrated player and Royal Salute World Polo Ambassador Malcolm Borwick. The Royal Salute 21-Year-Old Miami Polo Edition, the sixth edition in its renowned Polo Collection, was officially unveiled in Palm Beach in April this year. Celebrating its famed polo clubs and vibrant scene, Miami is a modern-day polo destination and takes the spotlight as the inspiration behind this new blend. This new expression presents a first in Royal Salute’s blending history, with a bespoke whisky finished in a blend of classic first-fill bourbon and first-fill rye casks. The result of this all-American oak cask finish is superbly smooth with vanilla and coconut notes resonant with Miami’s golden beaches and a subtly spiced finish that captures warm city sunsets. Available at Lotte Duty Free at S$330 or in limited quantities at select retailers in Singapore and on Le Cercle from S$270.
