New whisky celebrates Singapore’s Golden Jubilee

This summer, Diageo launched a further edition in the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Cities Collection, celebrating Singapore, ahead of August’s SG50 celebrations marking the nation’s 50th birthday. This new release, embellished with a Jeff Nishinaka-inspired design, brings to life the iconic Singapore skyline.

Large-scale activations of the Cities Collection were hosted by travel retailer DFS and Changi Airport Group at Singapore Changi airport, including a striking window display featuring Jeff Nishinaka’s Singapore cityscape handcrafted paper sculpture in Terminal 3, and displays in all departures and arrivals stores in all terminals. 

Exclusively available at Changi airport

Peter Fairbrother, global marketing director of Diageo Global Travel and Middle East, said: “Following the success of the 2013 Johnnie Walker Blue Label Skyline Collection, and the recent launch of the Dubai edition of Johnnie Walker Blue Label Cities Collection, we are immensely proud to offer this Singapore SG50 Limited Edition Design, in close partnership with DFS and Changi Airport Group. This series beautifully brings to life some of the most iconic travel destinations in the world, therefore it is only fitting that it is exclusive to travel retail. As such it serves as a unique souvenir of a great journey or to mark an historic occasion: Singapore’s Golden Jubilee.”

The Singapore edition of the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Cities Collection is exclusively available at Changi airport, retailing at S$288.
