A closer look inside The Vault
Taking place on 16 and 17 October, this year’s signature event, The Vault, is built around the concept of a private repository where rare wines & spirits are carefully preserved.

The event is being hosted at JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach, with the venue transformed into a showcase spanning five distinct zones.
Each zone features a selection of wines & spirits, highlighting their character, heritage and craftsmanship.
The programme includes an opening performance, followed by a caviar canapé experience, alongside Cognac and whisky tastings, curated by caviar producer Kaluga Queen.

WOWS 2026 collection highlights
The Dalmore Cask Curation Series: The Madeira Cask Edition
The Dalmore has recently unveiled the fourth edition of its Cask Curation Series, The Madeira Wine Cask Edition.
Launched in 2023, the range features the Highland Single Malt Whisky’s heritage through multi-cask maturation and exclusive partnerships with fine wine producers.
The final Cask Curation Series edition highlights Madeira, the fortified wine from the Portuguese island of the same name.
The Dalmore partnered with Blandy’s Madeira for this edition, drawing on the seven-generation family producer’s two centuries of winemaking heritage.
This edition reveals The Dalmore’s character through three distinct Madeira styles, delivering three exceptional single malts: The Dalmore Cask Curation Series – The Madeira Cask Edition, aged 30, 34 and 45 years.
With only 150 sets available worldwide, one is being offered at WOWS 2026 for S$64,000 (US$50,160).
Fettercairn The Vanguard Series Rare – 30 Years Old
Fettercairn Distillery’s The Vanguard Series is a three-part collection of limited-edition single malts, focused on provenance, partnerships, casks, raw materials and flavour.

The Macallan Red Collection Set
The Macallan Red Collection features three rare age statements, including 71, 74 and 78 Years Old.
The whiskies were matured for more than seven decades by generations of whisky makers in hand-selected oak casks, with the wood shaping their distinctive character.
Among The Macallan’s oldest releases, the three expressions feature natural colour, with flavours of dried fruit, oak spice and subtle sweetness.
The bottles are presented in handcrafted oak boxes upholstered in red Scottish leather by Bridge of Weir Leather. A complete set with bespoke case is available exclusively at WOWS for S$368,200 (US$288,580).
Tales of The Macallan Volume II
A tribute to founder Alexander Reid, this 73 Year Old Single Malt was distilled in 1949 and bottled in 2022.
The whisky has bronzed oak tones, subtle red hues and a lingering smokiness reminiscent of whiskies from Alexander Reid’s time.
Selected at peak maturation, the whisky features notes of woodsmoke, forest fruits, herbs, spices, dark chocolate, plum and black cherry.
The whisky is housed in a handcrafted crystal decanter created by Lalique master glassmakers. One bottle will be available at WOWS 2026 for S$114,000 (US$89,350). ✈
