The whisky appreciation scene in Singapore is flourishing, and women are increasingly becoming connoisseurs of this fine spirit. Contrary to the stereotype that women prefer only fruitier and sweeter whiskies, their tastes are diverse and sophisticated. Priscilla Chua, retail manager at La Maison du Whisky, shares her insights on the top 5 whiskies favored by women in Singapore.
Teeling Single Malt is a fruity Irish whisky aged in wine casks, offering a sweet yet intricate flavor profile. Made from pure malt whisky, it exudes an intense white grape aroma that evolves into white chocolate when left to breathe. The distinctive fruity taste is complemented by hints of cinnamon and white pepper. This whisky pairs excellently with desserts, finishing on a sweet and gentle note of strawberry.
Compass Box Hedonism is a smooth, creamy grain Scotch whisky that is gentle on the palate. It features nosing notes of fruit, fraises des bois, and red pepper for a sharp kick. True to its name, the tasting notes are a sinful blend of pastry cream, coconut, and vanilla. Its lack of burn makes it particularly popular among women.
Nikka Coffey Malt is a Japanese single malt that is both light and complex. It has sharp nosing notes of candied lemon and cake spices, with a viscous texture that reveals flavors of apricot and toffee. The lingering taste of honey is subtle and not overly sweet, making it a favorite among women exploring Japanese whiskies.
Kilchoman Machir Bay is a single-malt Scotch whisky that defies the notion that women do not enjoy smoky whiskies. It boasts strong flavors from bourbon casks and Oloroso Sherry butts. This whisky won Best Single Malt at the International Whisky Competition in 2016 with a score of 94.5 points. Its consistently peaty taste is balanced by notes of raisin, hazelnut, and winter spice, rounded off with rolled oats and peat smoke.
Glendronach 21 is aged in sherry and Pedro Ximenez casks, offering a softly smoky flavor. The nosing notes of walnut cake, date, and espresso entice women to take the first sip. With sweet and mellow top notes, it leaves a lingering taste of dark chocolate and pepper. This whisky is like a charming ex-lover: memorable and delightful.
As more women develop a taste for whisky, educational platforms are emerging to cater to their interests. From tasting sessions at local bars to large-scale conventions, there are numerous opportunities to learn about this sophisticated spirit. Whisky Live Singapore 2016 is one such event that offers a comprehensive experience for whisky enthusiasts.
By embracing a diverse range of flavors and styles, women are reshaping the whisky landscape, proving that their preferences are as varied and complex as the spirit itself.
