Rachelle The Rabbit Distillery: Singapore's Premier Distillery Lands in Japan

In a groundbreaking move, Rachelle The Rabbit Distillery (RTR), Singapore's largest distillery, has officially launched in Japan. Founded in 2015 by Simon Zhao as Rachelle The Rabbit Meadery, the operation has expanded and evolved. Since relocating in 2019, RTR has earned its spot as a frontrunner in the Asian spirits market, known for its innovative approach to using regional ingredients.

Crafting Unique Spirits with Local Ingredients

RTR specializes in creating spirits that reflect the rich culture of Southeast Asia, all while maintaining a commitment to all-natural ingredients. The distillery utilizes local staples such as jasmine rice and coconut, alongside honey and various botanicals to produce a range of spirits that boast gentle yet distinctive flavors.

The name 'Rachelle' itself is a nod to Simon's daughter, symbolizing the familial love and warmth that is the foundation of this distillery. Each bottle contains not just alcohol, but also a piece of family tradition and cultural respect.

Events Marking RTR's Entrance into Japan

On August 20, RTR held a seminar at the Japan Sake Service Institute (SSI), where numerous professionals, including sake sommeliers and distillers, gathered to learn about RTR's philosophy and products. The event featured speeches from prominent figures like Simon Zhao and SSI director Takashi Nagata, highlighting the distillery's principles and the unique qualities of their spirits.

The seminar also included tastings of the signature HOM MARI Rice Whiskey and other liquors, deepening the attendees' understanding of the production process and marketing strategies.

Following this, on August 27, RTR took part in the Osaka Kansai Expo at the Singapore Pavilion, showcasing their offerings through an exclusive cocktail event. This was a delightful opportunity to introduce both Singapore's allure and RTR's commitment to local culture on a grand international stage.
