Singapore Distillery officially launched in October 2020 – With a range of gins inspired by ingredients and flavours from all over Asia. Beginning their gin-making journey in 2017, the team spent three years building their Tagore Lane-based distillery and developing their perfectly balanced gins. The distillery was born out of an idea to make great spirits using Asia’s greatest resource – its diverse array of herbs and spices. “Singapore has always been a melting pot of different cultures, each with their own cuisines, and we thought these unique flavours and ingredients would be perfect for incorporating into gins and other spirits,” says Head Distiller Ashwin Sekaran. There’s more to gin production than botanical selection, however, and Ashwin and his team place similar emphasis on the importance of their distillation process. Singapore Distillery’s traditional 500-litre copper still was custom designed for the brand. Made the whisky way, the bulbous head of the copper still helps create the smooth, balanced finish found in each of the gins. With its launch into the market, Singapore Distillery’s portfolio is currently made up of eight signature gins and two vodkas.
