Cherrapunji Eastern Craft Gin has released Mountain Berry Gin with Cherry Blossom , its newest expression shaped by the ecology and seasonal character of Meghalaya’s highlands. Distilled using rainwater and built on an unsweetened, uncoloured base, the gin draws from the high-altitude landscapes of Cherrapunji and Mawsynram, regions known among the wettest on earth. The release continues the brand’s focus on terroir-driven distillation. Rather than layering flavour through ad

Blenders Pride has announced the launch of the Zenith Black Edition , a limited-edition expression that brings together a striking black aesthetic with the brand’s iconic blend, creating a distinctive new expression within its premium portfolio. Encased in a dramatic black design, the Zenith Black Edition reflects a design language rooted in luxury and rarity. Crafted for discerning whisky connoisseurs, often described as “the One in a Million”, the release is limited to just

Juhu has never really been short of bars. What it has been short of is places that understand pause. Spaces that don’t rush to impress, don’t over-explain themselves, and don’t confuse darkness with drama. KOJAK slips into this gap quietly, above the familiar chaos of Juhu Tara Road, without banners or bravado. You could walk past the building and miss it entirely. Inside, nothing is trying to grab your attention all at once. The first thing you notice is not the music or the

Gurgaon doesn’t lack Japanese restaurants. In fact, it embraced the cuisine long before it became shorthand for urban cool, and Golf Course Road now reads almost like a curated map of Far Eastern influences. Which is precisely why Oju, filmmaker Karan Johar’s latest restaurant, arrives without needing to announce itself loudly. It doesn’t rely on novelty, celebrity pull, or culinary theatrics to make its point. Instead, it slows things down. Co-owned by Johar and Truepalate H

Crazy Cock has unveiled what it claims is a world first: an Indian single malt finished in Mahura casks. Titled Madhuca: The Heritage Editions , the release marks a significant moment not only for the brand but for Indian whisky-making, positioning indigenous ingredients and processes at the centre of a global luxury conversation. Crafted at South Seas Distilleries, the makers of India’s oldest single malts, the collection brings together heritage, experimentation, and a dist

The landscape of Indian coffee continues to shift, shaped by a generation that cares as much about flavour and aroma as it does about convenience. Stepping naturally into this moment is Vintage Coffee and Beverages Ltd. (VCBL), introducing VINCOFE™ Instant Coffee Pure — a premium, 100% pure instant coffee that reflects the brand’s long-standing relationship with India’s coffee heritage. Vintage Coffee has spent years refining how it speaks to consumers. From the inviting war

As the festive season begins, Novotel Cairo Airport turns into a warm, familiar pause point for travellers making their way through one of the busiest hubs in the region. Its location — just steps from Cairo International Airport — makes it an effortless stopover for families, business travellers, and holidaymakers looking to unwind between journeys. All through December, the hotel shifts gently into a holiday rhythm. The lobby glows with festive décor, a beautifully lit Chri

High above Puerto de la Cruz, on a hill that has watched over the north of Tenerife for more than a century, the Gran Hotel Taoro has opened its doors once again. For locals, the silhouette of the building has always carried a sense of nostalgia. For travellers, it has been a name whispered in the island’s early tourism history — the first grand hotel in the region, a jewel from 1890 that shaped how the world once imagined holidays in the Canary Islands. Now, after a meticul

Singapore’s theatre calendar is preparing for a jolt of mischievous, Broadway-grade energy as Beetlejuice The Musical arrives for its first and only Asian stop. The production, running from 15 January to 15 February 2026 at the Esplanade Theatres, brings with it far more than a celebrated show — it ushers in a rare collaboration that blends hospitality, performance, and playful immersion through Pan Pacific Hotels Group’s exclusive themed stay experience . For Pan Pacific H

When Jumeirah steps into a new world, it rarely does so quietly. This season, the brand enters the realm of luxury yachting with a partnership that feels almost cinematic: The Maltese Falcon, a Jumeirah Privé Experience . For a hospitality group known for shaping some of the most recognisable silhouettes on the Dubai skyline, the move toward the open sea feels both unexpected and completely aligned with its instinct for grandeur. The Maltese Falcon has long held a mythical pl

When the Gstaad Palace in Gstaad, Switzerland opens for the winter on 15 December 2025, it returns with a story that still holds its charm half a century later. In 1975, Blake Edwards’ The Return of the Pink Panther was filmed largely inside this Alpine landmark — its lobby, revolving doors, and the now-legendary GreenGo nightclub became part of Hollywood’s visual memory. The European premiere was also held here, turning a quiet corner of Saanenland into an unexpected cinem

Set within a quiet expanse of the Colorado Plateau, Amangiri has long been a place where travellers come to encounter the desert at its own pace. The architecture folds itself into the rock, the mesas rise around the property like steady companions, and the landscape dictates the rhythm of the day. It is from this setting — stark, cinematic, and strangely grounding — that Amangiri has introduced a new way to experience the region. The property now offers private flight tours

At the point where the Atlantic meets the Indian Ocean, a quiet shift has taken place inside Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, Cape Town. The landmark property has opened Amura , a restaurant shaped by the vision of Michelin-starred Spanish chef Ángel León , marking the first time he has brought his unmistakable, ocean-centred philosophy outside his home country. Known internationally as “the Chef of the Sea,” León approaches the ocean not as a pantry but as a living, breathing

Copenhagen isn’t a city that performs for its visitors. It doesn’t need to. Its appeal lies in the precision of its details - the way a pastry flakes at breakfast, the curve of a chair in a design store, the calm competence of a waiter who’s proud of what he serves. For travellers who measure luxury in experience rather than display, Denmark’s capital offers one of Europe’s most balanced itineraries: exceptional food, confident design, and retail that understands the value of

In the hill town of Cherrapunji, known for its near-constant rain, a small Indian distillery has found a way to turn that weather into identity. Cherrapunji Eastern Craft Gin, produced by Raincheck Earth Co., is distilled from sustainably harvested rainwater and botanicals native to Meghalaya and the North-East. The gin was conceived by Mayukh Hazarika, who wanted to create a spirit that reflected its origin rather than imitate established European styles. Working with a Dutc

Delhi’s dining scene has no shortage of Italian restaurants, but the city has never truly experienced aperitivo the way it’s lived in Italy—until now. Via Bianca introduces the capital’s first authentic aperitivo menu, a ritual that Italians consider less a meal and more a way of life. Aperitivo, often described as the golden hour of Italian culture, is that pause between day and night when friends gather for a spritz, small plates, and unhurried conversations. At Via Bianca,
