Jump in to the world of spirits with us.

The Joy Luck Press is a quarterly anthology of everything we love about spirits; the flavours, stories, experimentation, adventure, and conversations. Come join us on a journey of exploration and storytelling, and you'll see that it's not just about the alcohol - it's also about having the spirit.

In this inaugural Spring 2022 issue of the Joy Luck Press, boy, does the 88 bamboo team have some stories to tell! Hear about the time THE CIA spied on a whisky distillery, find out why Tupac, Drake and Snoop Dogg can’t stop name-dropping Hennessy cognac in their rap songs, and meet a clear, colorless spirit called Clairin that stubbornly defies categorization.

We take you behind the closed doors of Islay's Bruichladdich Distillery, a field report right from the heart of Chichibu's Whisky Matsuri Festival, and a night out to one of Singapore's hottest bars - the Sago House.

It's 88 pages of goodness, which also includes the latest news, reviews of Shizuoka whisky, Kavalan new Triple Sherry, a legendary Velier Demerara, Korea's first single malt and a vintage Laphroaig 1988.
