\n SINGAPORE –
\n Media OutReach Newswire<\/a> – 18 June 2024 – <\/b> Specialist spirits auctioneer, Whisky Hammer, announced today the launch of its bonded warehouse service \u2013 a first for a UK auction house \u2013 in Singapore.\n <\/div>\n
\n Asia Pacific continues to be the
\n world\u2019s most valuable export region for whisky<\/a>, with exports totalling more than USD2.2 billion in 2023. Five countries from the region ranked amongst the world\u2019s top 10 export destinations and Asia Pacific was responsible for almost a third of all global whisky exports last year.
\n \n<\/div>\n
\n
\n With Asia Pacific home to the world\u2019s most valuable whisky collection and seeing surging interest in whisky auctions, including Whisky Hammer\u2019s 100th auction that saw over 5,000 lots going under the hammer, this is an opportune moment to launch a value-added service to cater to the demands of a discerning customer base in Asia.\n <\/div>\n
\n Customers first make their purchase from Whisky Hammer and ship their bottles from Scotland to Singapore. Upon arrival in Singapore, the goods are safely delivered to the Singapore Bonded Warehouse. A small entry fee covers all additional costs associated with transit \u201cunder bond\u201d, and customers can then pay for their bottles to be stored and insured at the warehouse. Customers who then wish to remove their bottles from the warehouse, can then pay to either be able to collect their purchases in person from the warehouse, engage a \u2018white glove\u2019 concierge service that hand delivers their bottles to them at Changi Airport on their way out of Singapore, or have them shipped out of the warehouse to a local or foreign address.\n <\/div>\n
\n Daniel Milne, co-founder and managing director of Whisky Hammer, said: “Our customer base in Asia continues to grow, and they are demanding more value-added services from us to complement our auctions. Our new bonded warehouse in Singapore is a sign of our commitment to investing in the needs of our customers in Asia and how we\u2019re providing a seamless purchasing experience for them.\n <\/div>\n
\n \u201cThe bonded warehouse service provides our customers with the convenience to store their whisky in a safe, controlled environment, and the flexibility to access it whenever they transit at Singapore Changi Airport. Our \u2018white glove service\u2019 ensures prompt point-to-point delivery of the customer\u2019s whisky from the warehouse to them. We’re confident that this offering is a cost effective means to empowering those looking to start a whisky collection or add to an existing one.”<\/p>\n

The Singapore Bonded Warehouse is pursuant to the Singapore Customs\u2019 Zero-GST Warehouse Scheme. Approved companies such as Whisky Hammer can store imported non-dutiable goods, including spirits such as whisky, for an indefinite period of time in a designated area licensed by the Singapore Customs, with the Goods and Services Tax (GST) suspended. Customers are not required to pay GST or duties when their bottles are delivered to or picked up by them at the airport to be brought onwards to their next destination as part of their duty-free liquor concession. GST is only payable if they were to take local delivery within Singapore.\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n The launch of Whisky Hammer\u2019s bonded warehouse service in Singapore coincides with its current auction. The June auction is now live and ends on Sunday, 23rd June at 10pm (SST) \/ 3pm (UK). It features around 2,000 unique, rare and collectible whiskies with headline lots being the oldest ever Japanese single malt whisky, the Yamazaki 55 Year Old which was last sold by Whisky Hammer in November 2022 for \u00a3380,000 \/ ~SG$655,000, and \u201cThe Reach\u201d, an 81 Year Old (1940) Macallan.
