DFS’ fourth Whisky Festival at Changi Airport features a pop-up bar for the first time
DFS Group has launched its fourth Whisky Festival at Singapore’s Changi Airport, last Friday (May 3). As part of the festival, the duty-free retailer has also opened a pop-up bar for the first time, at the airport’s Terminal 3.
According to DFS, the whisky festival aims to “demystify the whisky making process with inspiration of cask maturation and its impact on color, aroma and taste.” After the launch at Changi Airport, the festival will take place at seven DFS locations across Asia, the Middle East, North America and Hawaii. The festival’s theme for this year is deconstructed whisky cask.
Commenting on the event, Brooke Supernaw, Senior Vice President Spirits, Wines, Tobacco, Food and Giftsat DFS said: “The Whisky Festival is one of our favorite celebrations at DFS, providing a great opportunity to showcase this wonderful spirit in a fun and engaging way to whisky connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.”
At the pop-up bar, travelers can enjoy whisky while waiting for their flight at Changi Airport’s Terminal 3. The bar features design elements from deconstructed whisky casks, the bar’s interior exudes an unconventional and sumptuous atmosphere reminiscent of the Speakeasy bars of the 1920s Jazz Era.
