This definitely piqued my interest because houjicha was listed as one of the ingredients and the drink was a brainchild of great bartenders Jerrold and Yao Lu.
Intense, complicated flavours going on (it was recommended that we started off with something else first and thankfully we had) and the Guiness reduction was divine. I loved hearing the story of how the drink came about from the man (Jerrold) himself. Great cocktail, with a greater story to boot. Plus, you get to keep the tiny bottle as a souvenir too, with the wood for aging and a very nice design on.

I'm not usually someone who visits the same bar twice, but for the Flagship, I'd gladly make an exception. Unpretentiously good ambience that got better the longer we stayed, and I promise it wasn't (just) cos of the booze. Excellent bartenders (thanks Jerrold and Vic!! You guys were awesome to say the least) who got me even more interested in their world of whiskey which they're very clearly passionate about. It was my first time there, but there were many regulars, and I can see myself being one too. Bar seats (very highly) recommended!
