Cocktail lovers rejoice! Following a successful launch of World Class Singapore 2025 earlier in February, World Class will be returning with a three month long cocktail festival that will bring together the top bartenders representing renowned and emerging bars, each reimagining cocktails with the versatility of five brands across whisky (Johnnie Walker and The Singleton), rum (Ron Zacapa), gin (Tanqueray) and Tequila (Don Julio).

Designed to inspire cocktail lovers and rally support for their favourite bars, the festival will see an activation of the top contenders from bars showcasing their creativity through five iconic brands —Johnnie Walker, Don Julio, Ron Zacapa, Tanqueray, and The Singleton — with curated World Class Cocktail Festival menus to explore across March to May 2025.

The Cocktail Festival will spotlight the following five iconic brands, each with its own rich heritage:

• Don Julio: This premium tequila is celebrated for its superior quality, meticulously crafted with reverence for traditional methods and sustainable agave cultivation, resulting in a smooth, elegant profile that reflects authentic Mexican heritage.
• Ron Zacapa: Known for its exceptional craftsmanship and unique aging process in
  the Guatemalan highlands, it offers a rich, complex flavour profile that embodies the spirit of its exotic origins.
• Tanqueray: A timeless gin brand known for its bold, crisp flavours and commitment to quality. 
• The Singleton: A smooth, versatile single malt Scotch whisky, known for its rich, mellow flavours that appeal to both seasoned drinkers and newcomers.
• Johnnie Walker: A leader in Scotch whisky, Johnnie Walker features signature
  bold flavours, one of which includes the prestigious Blue Label.

In addition, consumers will also have the chance to support their favorite bars and bartenders by casting their vote on the World Class microsite after sampling the many creations, giving their favorite bar the opportunity to be recognized as the 'Cocktail Experience of the Month'.

There will also be guest shifts taking place across the months featuring bartenders from across the world, with the likes of Rian Asiddao, Diageo Brand Ambassador from Philippines and co-founder of Bar By East, Flo All Day Drinking, The Spirits Library, and DBWY.

Kanpai!
