Four new travel-exclusive scotch whiskies have been launched by The Singleton.
The collection, entitled "Gardens of Abundance", was unveiled at a pop-up in the departure hall of Changi Airport Terminal 3 on July 25. It comprises four bottles: Radiant Spring Garden, Golden Autumn Orchard, Exotic Spice Grove and Deep Forest Riches. All four are available for purchase now, exclusively in Lotte Duty Free points of sale in Terminals 1 to 4 of Changi Airport. They'll also be rolled out in Delhi, Dubai, Hong Kong and Heathrow next month.
Here's the low-down on each of the four "Gardens of Abundance" bottles:
Radiant Spring Garden ($91.80)
The lightest scotch in the collection, both in terms of colour and flavour, Radiant Spring Garden is matured in white oak casks. It's fresh and bright, with notes of green apple, apricots and citrus.
Golden Autumn Orchard ($133.60)

Ex-bourbon and American white oak casks are used to age Golden Autumn Orchard. As its name suggests, toffee apples and butterscotch are front and centre in this bottle, along with poached pears and vanilla.
Exotic Spice Grove ($243)
We then go up to three casks with Exotic Spice Grove, which spends time in ex-wine, rejuvenated and reserve oak casks. The result is lightly spicy, with notes of honey, figs, berries, nutmeg and cinnamon.
