Our Business

Quaich Bar Collector

The story of Quaich Bar began with Quaich Bar Collector at Waterfront Plaza. Kickstarted by the team behind The Whisky Store in 2007, Quaich Bar Collector is the first dedicated whisky bar in Singapore. In fact, the bar has been graced with the respectable title of the ‘Great Whisky Bar of the World’ by the international Whisky Magazine, a testament to their honourable contributions to the whisky culture not just in Singapore but on a global scale.

The name ‘Quaich’ (pronounced as quake) is derived from the Scottish Gaelic word “cuach” which refers to a traditional two-handed drinking cup or bowl and remains a symbol of welcome and friendship in Scotland. Housing an impressive selection of old and vintage boutique bottles and being a regular pitstop for globally acclaimed distillers for whisky tastings and masterclasses, Quaich Bar Collector is a quality whisky institution and hub for fellow whisky afficionados and for those keen to learn more about whisky alike.

Quaich Bar Avant-garde  

After nine great years of spreading the good word of whisky at Collector, Quaich Bar Avant-garde has continued the same legacy of getting individuals to connect through excellent whisky.

The Whisky Store

The Whisky Store began in 2005 as a humble retail kiosk in Tanglin Mall run by escapees from the corporate world, Khoon Hui and Joyce. Today, The Whisky Store is much more than a kiosk. We import a wide range of whiskies from boutique distilleries in Scotland, Ireland, South Africa and India, and independent bottlers and wholesalers in the United Kingdom, as well as other spirits, wines and liquors, many of which we hold in exclusive agency in Singapore. Additionally, we also distribute on a wholesale basis to other bars, country clubs, hotels, restaurants, corporate and individuals who wish to purchase whiskies in volume. Since 2020, The Whisky Store has also embarked on an online retail store of whiskies and other spirits.  

For those who are keen to purchase exclusive ‘single casks’ whiskies that are not available to other retailers, you can be rest assured that The Whisky Store purchases full casks of whisky for bottling and sale to retail customers or for bulk sales. In fact, in 2020, we released 257 bottles of the Ardbeg 26 years old, which is one of the three casks of the Islay Giants series. The Islay Giant series is made up of Ardbeg, Bowmore and Bunnahabhain distilleries from the Islay region.

In addition, we also offer sourcing services to whisky aficionados who are looking to acquire whisky casks or whisky from a particular label and of a specific maturity that might not otherwise be available in the market. Thus, if you’re on the lookout for quality, boutique whisky, you know where to go.
