During a previous trip to Singapore for the World’s 50 Best Bars awards ceremony, I got the opportunity to visit two Singaporean spirit producers that are making spirits unique to the Lion City – Brass Lion and Compendium Spirits.

Both of these companies manage to do one thing very well – utilise local and Asian flavours and ingredients to make uniquely local, high quality spirits.
