AWARD-WINNING COGNAC MAISON, BISQUIT & DUBOCHÉ DEBUTS IN SINGAPORE WITH DISRUPTIVE PACKAGING We were greeted with a product with superb finesse when we were introduced to a legendary maison that is regarded for its inimitable liquid and unique distillation process, Bisquit & Dubouché sets itself from the competitor set by introducing its award-winning duo (V.S.O.P. and X.O) to fine cognac and premium spirit aficionados in Singapore. The brand is infused and forged with 200 years of heritage and fearlessness and its debut in Singapore is marked with a return to its original name to honour its founders, and a refreshed modern-styled packaging that defies traditional expressions whilst revolutionising the experience of cognac appreciation just as it did 200 years ago. REFRESHED FOR INSPIRATION Following its renaming, the brand sought to bring forth its progressive spirit by refreshing visuals that challenge codes of cognac packaging. Envisioned to convey excellence with a modern perspective, its new bottle design flaunts an ornamentation that exudes minimal luxury. Repackaged in a solid square with gentle curves to transmit strength and confidence while retaining ease in handling, the liquid is securely sealed with a silver knurled cap to accent preciousness. A central feature, the usual sticker labels have been replaced with an embossed logo to spotlight its redesigned griffin motif to accentuate boldness while guarding the precious liquid that beckons within. Finished cleanly with a sleek label or engraved metal that reunites both founders on the neck and base, the resulting architecture symbolises effortless opulence with a promise of mesmerising encounters with every pour. “As we announce Bisquit & Dubouché’s introduction to new markets in the beginning of its third century, our intent was to disrupt traditional perceptions of cognac in modern consumers. With foundations paved by fearless founders, this reimagination tells a story of rebellion over conformity to inspire newfound appreciation of cognac and in a way, challenge audiences to venture forth with audacity, patience and hopefully, a glass of cognac in hand”, says Vincent Chappe, Ambassadeur Global de la Maison. Instead of relying solely on technicalities, every batch is inspected continuously on merits of taste and smell guided by intuition and knowledge. Waiting for the precise moment to cut the “tails” by hand, the distillers are able to expertly retain the “heart” of the cognac to guarantee an unrivalled signature aroma, floral character and the perfect concentration of fruitiness. The liquid is then patiently aged in hand-made oak casks till colours mature and characteristics are pronounced. The process finally concludes by converging different ages, crus and wood to result in blends that are one of its kind, regaled for their full-bodied richness and perfumed hearts. THE AWARD-WINNING DUO Distinguished as classics differentiated by age and blending of crus, the V.S.O.P. and X.O. are all heralded for possessing an innate smoothness that seduces drinkers – be it novice or an expert palate – with a floral and fruity bouquet of nuanced aromas, that follows through with discerning notes of honey, fig and dark fruits V.S.O.P. – THE EXTREMELY VERSATILE ONE (S$129) Recognised internationally as the epitome of perfection with its slew of awards, the V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pale) is marked by its smoothness and mellowness that welcomes drinkers to enjoy the liquid in ways pure or mixed. Slowly matured in French oak barrels for a minimum of four years using ratios of all four main crus, the process yields a seductive warm amber that exudes inviting whiffs of apricot, honey, sweet spices and a closing nuance of rose. While versatile in character, its supple notes of honeysuckle, citrus and mango are best experienced when savoured neat or on ice. X.O. – FOR THE TASTE PURISTS (S$365) Crafted by maturing predominantly prestigious crus from Grande and Petite Champagne in oak barrels for a minimum of ten years, the X.O. (Extra Old) is indubitably the one made for true cognac connoisseurs. Immediately captivating on the shelf with its silver-metal engraved bottle neck and base, along with a deep coppery amber liquid that resides within, the X.O. is stunning in all expressions: visual, taste and smell. Boasting an unforgettable aroma of smoked wood, cocoa, candied fruit and plum, the expressions come to life when sipped – gradually unveiling an indelible richness of plum, mocha, cedar wood and liquorice. Full-bodied yet silky and sumptuous, the X.O. is best enjoyed neat for an unforgettable, multi-sensorial experience. The Bisquit & Dubouché V.S.O.P. and X.O. are priced at SGD129 and SGD365 respectively and are available at selected retailers, with the X.O. sold in limited quantities. Retailers and collectors are also able to purchase bottles directly from Campari Group’s RARE Division via rare.asia@campari.com.

In a blind taste test of 200 consumers in Hong Kong, Impossible Pork was preferred 54% to 46% over ground pork from pigs, scoring higher on all attributes tested, including overall liking, appearance liking, flavour liking, texture liking, and purchase intent. The plant-based pork is certified gluten-free and contains no nitrates, no animal hormones, and no antibiotics. Because it is made from plants, Impossible Pork is far more sustainable than pork from pigs.

Today, marks the first anniversary of the world’s first inaugural Dog Cruise. This unique event onboard a traditionally rigged tall ship, was the first time a luxury yacht allowed dogs onboard to not only dine with their pawrents; but to also have their own gourmet meals served at their table. “The experience has been enhanced over the last year to be more relaxed and adapt to the latest regulations. With up to 30 dogs on each sailing, our experienced crew and partners are taking Dog Cruise to a whole new level.” said Sylvia Lee, Partnership Manager of Dog Cruise. Peter Pela, CEO, and owner of Tall Ship Adventures said: “The collapse of the tourism industry had a major toll on our business, so we had to think outside of the box on how to attract new clientele. And then, shortly after launching Dog Cruise, we were hit by two waves of F&B closures over a four-month period due to heightened alert. Yes, it true, we were all walking around with our tails between our legs! It’s taken an enormous effort; but we are finally perking up and we are pleased to see more hotels and restaurants recently following suit by also focusing on dogs. We’ve seen tremendous support from the dog community here with guests returning to sail and dine with us; up to five times since we first started 12 months ago. The dog community has sent us a clear sign that our furkids love the product and we are fulfilling an important need to dine out as a complete family.” The entire dining experience for human guests on the dinner cruise has also been upgraded to a new standard 5-course dining menu with an optional 7-course degustation menu available. The guest of honor for the event will have to be the furkids! With a carefully prepared premium menu for the furkids prepared by our Partner, PetCubes, “We have put together a nutritiously balanced meal just for the furkids which we know that they will enjoy.” Ms. Erica Kay from PetCubes shared. After the main course the furkid will enjoy a special dessert sponsored by our pet gourmet ice-cream partner Twice Young. “We are thrilled to present our unique Pawlato™ to all our furkids onboard! A perfect way to end their meal!” Ms. Kimberley Yeo, Founder of Twice Young exclaimed. “Singapore’s largest online pet care store, has been a proud partner and sponsor of the carefully crafted complimentary Sailor Pack for all dogs aboard! “It’s been a real honour to have been part of the world’s first dog cruise, and this partnership further enhances perromart’s mission to enable the bond between pets and humans.” Ms. Jean, Marketing Lead and Category Manager of perromart. The dog cruise has attracted premium partners due to their presence in the Singapore market. Dog cruise have brought in major partners like LG Electronics Singapore to launch their new pet purifier, and luxury hotel brand under one of the largest hotel chain ACCOR, Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa taking pampering your furkids to a whole new level. In a momentous event, today, the Royal Albatross Asia’s only luxury tall ship will be setting sail on it’s very first dog dining experience in the seas; the dog cruise. Every dog has its day and that is especially true if they are invited to our Dog Cruise Sunset Dinner Cruise onboard Luxury Tall Ship Royal Albatross. A special mention for the chefs of both dogs and humans. A job well done! The 7-course gourmet meals were executed perfectly for a boat full of guests. Let's start with the fine dining menu for our furry friends. Dessert was interesting. Twice Young served up a lovely Pawlato. This was followed by a special surprise by BossiPaws, when they customised a cake for every dog, shaping them in their image. For the humans, the food was a delectable! Every single dish was noteworthy. We were especially impressed with the Crispy Duck Confit. Having spoken to frequent pawrents and guests, we realised the secret to the astounding consistency of the food; highly skilled culinary team and a full-fledged kitchen onboard the Royal Albatross. All in all, it was an excellent celebration and a well-deserved one for the team.
