The Singapore Grand Prix season isn't just playing out on the track. From now till October 31, the world-famous single malt Scotch whisky brand Glenfiddich is bringing the spirit of racing into some of Singapore's best bars, transforming them into pit stops for a city-wide cocktail trail. This is in celebration of the Glenfiddich and Aston Martin Formula One Team 16-Year-Old Limited-Edition Release No.2, a whisky built on the idea that the finest performances often come down to the details you don't immediately see, whether that's aerodynamic engineering or the careful balancing of whisky across five different casks. 

Across six bars, you'll find limited-time Grand Prix-inspired cocktails that each put their own spin on Glenfiddich, alongside the refreshing Speyside Spritz – a bright blend of Glenfiddich, pear, lime, bitters and soda available at every participating bar. Ready to map out your night? Here's where to start.

1. ANTI:DOTE

For cocktails that know how to make an entrance

Tucked inside Fairmont Singapore, ANTI:DOTE has long been one of the city's most stylish cocktail destinations with plush interiors, an inventive drinks programme and a reputation for polished hospitality.

Sip The Overtake, a smooth, layered and unexpectedly complex mix of Glenfiddich 12-Year-Old, pome fruit notes, almond milk wash and peated whisky. If you prefer something richer, try the "Box, Box, Box!", which combines Glenfiddich 16-Year-Old with Pedro Ximénez, smoked oak and chocolate for a decadent finish.

2. High House

For a sky-high experience on the cocktail circuit 

Few venues capture the buzz of Grand Prix season quite like High House. Sitting high above the city with sweeping skyline views, it's where the city feels closest to the clouds. The bar also pairs those views with an energetic vibe that only ramps up as the night unfolds. 

Its headliner The Final Lap blends Glenfiddich 16 with bitter Italian aperitif, ristretto and chocolate bitters for an espresso-like finish worthy of a photo finish. Meanwhile, Green Sector keeps things crisp with apple-infused white port and Granny Smith juice.

3. Temper

For minimalist drinks with maximum precision 

Known for its ingredient-led approach and stripped-back aesthetic, Temper focuses on technique rather than theatrics, making it a natural fit for a campaign centred on precision. 

The whisky-forward The Constructor showcases Glenfiddich 16-Year-Old alongside Angostura and orange bitters, while Apex Fizz introduces refreshing grapefruit and soda notes. If you're after something lighter, Podium Spritz delivers celebratory energy in liquid form with elderflower, sparkling water and orange blossom.

4. Tess Bar

For an intimate bar with a bold personality 

If experimental cocktails are your thing, Tess Bar deserves a podium finish. Known for pushing flavour boundaries without losing balance, it's the wildcard stop on this trail. 

The Maqaw Grand Prix Sour throws Maqaw pepper into the mix alongside Glenfiddich 16, bitter Italian aperitif and lemon for a bold, aromatic twist. For a softer landing, Pit Lane Nightcap layers café liqueur, Pedro Ximénez sherry and Earl Grey cream into a dessert-worthy finale.

But don't stop at the drinks. Tess Bar's food menu is designed to complement its cocktails with thoughtful flavour pairings. Plus, there’s a rotating monthly specials menu, so even regulars can expect something different with each visit.

5. Writers Bar

For a literary twist on race-season spirits 

Nestled within Raffles Singapore, Writers Bar celebrates the literary greats who've passed through the doors of this historic hotel. The mood here is intimate, elegant and quietly timeless. 

Its version of The Overtake sees Glenfiddich 16-Year-Old paired with bitter Italian aperitif and house-blend vermouth, delivering a bittersweet, Negroni-style profile that's ideal for whisky lovers. Meanwhile, Silverstone 16 mixes Glenfiddich with raspberry, IPA beer, lemon and egg white, creating a playful cocktail that's every bit as memorable as its namesake circuit.

6. VUE

For cocktails with a view worth slowing down for 

Perched atop OUE Bayfront, VUE pairs panoramic skyline vistas with an elevated dining and drinking experience. If you're chasing that golden-hour moment before the city's lights flicker on, this is your grid position. 

Its standout creation is Aurum F1, a gold-standard combination of Glenfiddich 16-Year-Old, coffee vermouth, orange liqueur, and orange bitters for a smooth, citrus-forward sip with enough complexity to keep things interesting. Or go for Monaco Gold, a bright mix of Glenfiddich 15, lemon and orange jam that feels like a bottled sunset.

Beyond sipping these exclusive cocktails, consumers aged 25 and above can also enter to win an exclusive signed helmet, with every bottle of Glenfiddich 15-Year-Old or above earning three entries, and every three Glenfiddich cocktails or qualifying whisky flights earning one entry.
