Here are some of the must-have expressions to take note of this month
It is a great time to be a collector now, with the latest expressions from the most prestigious distilleries and cognac houses. We have The Macallan releasing The Reach, its oldest expression to date, as well as The Glen Grant launching a special bottling to honour master distiller Dennis Malcolm’s six decades in the industry. Let us not forget about Hennessy, which has updated the look of its Richard Hennesy—created in honour of its founder of the same name. Read on below to find out more about these bottles.

The Reach
The Macallan has released its oldest single malt whisky to date—The Reach, which is aged for 81 years. The bottle pays tribute to the many characters who contributed to this whisky’s creation—the distillers who crafted this exquisite expression; one-time chairman Allan Shiach whose grandfather headed the company when it was consigned to its first cask; and master whisky maker Kirsteen Campbell who selected this 1940 whisky.
The brown spirit with a deep auburn hue and intensely rich finish is bottled in a glass decanter and is encased in a wooden cabinet made from a fallen elm tree that’s believed to come from The Macallan estate. It is also accompanied by a hand sculpture crafted by Scottish sculptor Saskia Robinson. Each of the three hands is modelled after one of the original stillman’s hand.
The release has limited availability in Singapore. For enquiries, please contact The Macallan at Raffles Hotel Singapore at 8351 3449 or email singapore@themacallan.com.
