Announcement: Malt, Grain & Cane is an Official Partner of 88 Bamboo

We at 88 Bamboo are all about empowering you to choose great-tasting drams and consume with confidence. Life’s too short to drink cr*p. Along our journey, we have encountered great brands that we genuinely think are really good and deserve special recommendation to you.  

This is why we are incredibly excited to announce that Malt, Grain & Cane (MGC) - an independent bottler from Singapore - are now Official Partners with 88 Bamboo! 

 

Starting today, you will be able to browse and purchase whisky and rum bottled by MGC directly from our Bottle Shop. 

MGC bottles a range of quality whisky and rum from chilly Scotland to sunny Barbados. We, the alcoholics at 88 Bamboo, have tasted almost every bottle released by MGC thus far, and we find them of very good quality. 

MGC’s releases include the following:-

What’s interesting is that we feel MGC has an ability to select spirits that speak to our Asian palates. We think they would pair very well with the complex and eclectic mix of flavours we see in the Asian dishes we love.  

 

MGC’s Benriach 24 Year Old is a charming dram that pairs amazingly with Vietnamese dipping noodles with chargrilled pork. Sweet honeyed notes from the Benriach go perfectly with the grilled pork, while its malty flavours compliment the salty, refreshing fish sauce. 

 

 

We thoroughly enjoyed MGC’s releases. We think you would too. Our Bottle Shop is now open - do check it out.
