Makers Mark to launch its Cellar Aged in Manhattan Bar, Singapore

A cellar story rooted in a rich heritage of passion and craftsmanship, Maker’s Mark has consistently pushed the boundaries of whisky-making since its conception. It all started when its founders bravely lit their 170-year old family bourbon recipe on fire. For Maker's Mark, their story is all about evolving with the times and pushing boundaries.

This month, Manhattan Bar will be the exclusive, first-to-launch partner to carry Cellar Aged in Singapore. This launch of Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged in Singapore is the first in Southeast Asia. Cellar Aged builds on a taste vision that is generations in the making. It defines an older whisky that is distinctly Maker’s Mark. One rooted in challenging conventions, asking “what if?”, challenging the whisky category - and the world - to think of age differently.

New Bahru by Lo & Behold Group

New Bahru, Singapore’s first creative cluster will soon be unveiled at 46 & 58 Kim Yam Road in River Valley. The name “New Bahru” (Bahru meaning “New” in Malay) reflects the project’s hopes of bringing together a new creative community and a nod to the very Singaporean penchant for repeating words for emphasis, for example, swee swee, play-play, jalan jalan.

Wee Teng Wen, Managing Partner of The Lo & Behold Group says, “We’re building a lifestyle destination that is driven by discovery. A lovingly refurbished school building to escape the mundaneness of cookie-cutter malls, where people can come without a plan, yet spend a day wandering around and leave feeling inspired by the New Bahru community, the products and programming. Something that Singaporeans can be proud of, something tourists will write home about and ultimately change the way people perceive local talent.”

Some tenants to expect at New Bahru are:

  • Dearborn, of granola fame, launches its flagship store, featuring a microbakery, breakfast provision shop and all-day breakfast cafe.

  • The multidisciplinary design studio, best known for its bold yet simple designs, will open its largest store in Singapore to date - the Beyond The Vines Design House, which will offer customisation services and special product lines.

  • Dedicated to bridging the gap between people and nature, Soilboy, the Singapore-based plant design studio best known for its curated plants, and handmade ceramics launches its first experience store. Look forward to innovative plant installations and immersive hands-on workshops set to inspire a sense of curiosity for the greener things in life.

  • Morning opens its first physical store, creating a coffee destination for specialty capsule coffee from around the world. The new store offers a unique retail experience, designed for the community to experience the Morning brand and engage with the future of coffee through sampling sessions, workshops, and events.

  • An exhilarating new haven for young adventurers, Kiztopia Prestige dazzles with immersive role-play rooms and workshops for the little ones. Here, holistic development takes centre stage with a diverse range of soft play concepts and regular programmes tailored for children aged 4 and below.

Visitors can look forward to the New Bahru Open House on 22 and 23 June.

Children, meanwhile, are introduced to the world of sustainable farming through fun interactive lessons that ignite curiosity and foster respect for the environment, while highlighting the importance of biodiversity, the cycle of life, and how each individual can contribute to a healthier planet.

“Sustainable tourism is essential for preserving the natural beauty and resources of destinations for future generations. It also provides economic benefits and cultural exchange opportunities. At M Valley, we are dedicated to offering a sanctuary where eco-friendly practices and responsible enjoyment of natural resources are integral to our guest experiences,” said Mr Kristian Peterson, General Manager.
