IWA 5

, Christmas 2024 boozy gift ideas for drink enthusiasts

Whether for the seasoned sake enthusiast or those new to the world of Japanese spirits, an elegant bottle of IWA 5 Assemblage 5 is the perfect sentiment for the holiday season. Crafted in the heartlands of Japan, this premium sake marks a new chapter in masterful blending (assemblage) techniques by former Dom Perignon Chef de Cave, Richard Geoffroy, as he builds on the success of previous assemblages while boldly venturing into new territory.

Assemblage 5 harmoniously balances warmth, depth, and vitality with an avant-garde flair, blending different rice varieties such as Yamada Nishiki, Omachi, and Gohyakumangoku to create a complex yet refined and aromatic profile with delicate floral and fruity notes. The sleek, minimalist bottle design also adds a touch of sophistication, making it a memorable gift that looks as exquisite as it tastes.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label

, Christmas 2024 boozy gift ideas for drink enthusiasts

Capturing winter wonder, whisky craftsmanship, and alpine luxury all bottled in one, the new Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ice Chalet makes for a special Christmas gift. This limited edition whisky, crafted in partnership with luxury ski brand Perfect Moment, draws inspiration from blue hour – that magical twilight hour when skiers leave the slopes to gather around the warmth of the fireside. Bringing these enchanting après-ski moments to life is Master Blender Emma Walker, with a unique blend that reveals an indulgent nose of sweet creamy vanilla with spiced apples and plums, paired with a fruity palate of apples and berries, and finished with a soft fruity spice with a gentle smoke.

The gift also includes a striking deep blue bottle wrapped in Perfect Moment’s signature houndstooth and star logo, accompanied by a reversible crossbody bag which functions as a stylish accessory perfect for both snowy slopes and city streets.

The Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ice Chalet can be purchased at asher.sg and selected retailers.

 

The Macallan 

, Christmas 2024 boozy gift ideas for drink enthusiasts

The Macallan has unveiled the third release in its A Night on Earth series, a limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky matured in a balanced blend of European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks. Inspired by Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, where The Macallan’s casks are crafted and sherry seasoned, this release is an ideal gift for celebrating the year’s end. Its distinctive artwork are the result of the collaboration with artist Maria Melero, a native of Jerez, who has channelled her memories of the festive period in her home city.

A Night On Earth in Jerez is available for purchase at The Macallan House Singapore.

 

Penfolds

, Christmas 2024 boozy gift ideas for drink enthusiasts

Penfolds’ latest holiday collection lets you gift in style with the release of Holiday Designed by NIGO — a collectable series of four unique gift boxes by Penfolds creative partner NIGO. Available for a limited time only, NIGO boldly reinterprets the graphic chequered pattern often found in traditional textiles and presents them in the signature holiday colours of Red, Green, Blue, and Black.

The hero of the collection is the Penfolds Red design which holds the Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz, fondly known as the ‘Baby Grange’, a favourite among red wine drinkers for its sweet balance of fruit and oak. The box includes a playful puffy ‘pillow’ texture effect that further brings the design to life. Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay comes encased in a festive green pattern; the Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz is enclosed within a striking blue cylinder gift box with gold foil embellishments, while Penfolds Max’s (Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz Cabernet) features a bold and distinctive black chequered pattern. Wrap the gift beautifully in wrapping cloths that complement the gift boxes’ vibrant colours.
