My journey with whisky appreciation grew exponentially after my maiden visit to the home of one of my favourite whisky brands, Nikka whisky in Hokkaido, Japan in 2016.

May 11th, 2019GengHui0 Comments

In 2014, I met this nice friendly bloke at Haw Par Villa, there was a Singapore Tourism Board event “Reliving the memories of Haw Par Villa”.
