Hennessy has officially launched its 2025 Mid-Autumn Festival Limited Edition collection, created in collaboration with global icon and Hennessy Cognac Brand Ambassador Jackson Wang. Now in their fourth year of creative partnership, this collaboration highlights not only the versatility of Hennessy cognacs, but also the beauty of connection, celebration, and evolving tastes across Asia and beyond.

The collection spotlights two signature expressions, the V.S.O.P. and X.O., each paired with vibrant, expressive artworks designed to reflect the character of the cognac within.

The Hennessy V.S.O.P. is wrapped in a bold red-and-orange palette, with fluid patterns symbolizing the versatility and movement of the mixed liquid. Jackson’s favorite, easy-to-make serve, the Henny Tea, which can be made with 40ml V.S.O.P. topped with oolong tea over ice, is featured on the bottle, inviting fans to “Mix it Like Jackson Wang.”
The Hennessy X.O. is sleeker, housed in an elegant exterior box with layered tones of deep amber and silver accents and an embossed frozen effect. Jackson’s go-to X.O. serve: on ice, with a splash of sparkling water, is the highlight of the bottle, allowing fans to “Savor it Like Jackson Wang.”

The collaboration honors Hennessy’s long-standing ties to tea, a tradition dating back long into the 18th century, with Irish founder Richard Hennessy’s love for tea. Much like tea, cognac isn’t just a product, but a true ritual of connection.

To celebrate the launch in Singapore, Hennessy will be rolling out a series of pop-ups, tasting experiences, and exclusive offers. The Limited Edition V.S.O.P. bottles will be available at leading supermarkets, including FairPrice and Cold Storage, while stocks last, retailing from S$115.

With bold visuals, collectible packaging, and signature serves curated by Jackson Wang, the Hennessy Limited Edition Mid-Autumn Festival collection is more than a gift — it’s a celebration of tradition, connection, and discovery.

Introducing temper: A New Sensorial Hideaway Where Wine and Good Music Meet

by: The Beat Asia

by: The Beat Asia

Singapore’s dining scene just welcomed a new intimate, sensorial hideaway into their roster.

Introducing temper – Ebb and Flow Group’s newest concept – a sensorial and layered hideaway that’s part wine room, part cocktail lounge, and part cultural stage, serving intuitive wines, moreish dishes, cocktails, hospitality, and soundscapes that echo one another with intention.

Located beside Mondrian Singapore Duxton, the 4000 sqft space is divided into two distinct yet connected moods: an intimate, upstairs wine room designed for low-lit conversations, and a buzzier, cool cocktail lounge made for lively people below. Channeling Bauhaus clarity and cinematic warmth, sculptural geometric lines and soft mood lights tie both concepts together with a sweeping arched portal and layered terrace cove.

At the heart of the wine room is Roberto Duran, Wine Director and former head sommelier of private members’ club 67 Pall Mall. The wine room features a custom-built cellar housing over 1,200 labels and 2,100 bottles from more than30 countries, with 250 available by the glass. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just curious, the wine list caters to everyone and in a mood-driven approach: pairing every bottle with moments that fit.

Cocktails with Character

Curated with character and energy, Consulting bartender June Baek and Head bartender Kishan brings forward a signature list of pours designed to intrigue the palate and stir curiosity.

temper’s Cup, a refreshing blend of Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret, fruit, and sparkling wine, blurs boundaries between wine and cocktail; a classic Dirty Martini, brightened with a vinegar-soaked star fruit pickle for a Southeast Asian twist; the T.T.K. (Tutu Kueh) Old Fashioned is a spirit-forward blend layered with peanut butter-washed Monkey Shoulder whisky, sesame, cacao bitters, and peanut smoke for a savory, nutty sip.

A separate menu collection, the Duxon’s Arts and Culture Collection, invites guests to embark on a pour-by-pour journey from the neighborhood’s early days as a nutmeg plantation to the creative playground it is today.

Soul in Every Note

Curated by music programmer Joshua Pillai, the cocktail lounge’s soundtrack drifts across eras and genres: vinyl deep-dives, live jazz, stripped-back acoustic sets, and late-night spins of soul, funk, and obscure Asian gems, all performed by local and regional names like Kaye of DarkerThanWax, Dita Jacob, Nick Zavior, Keith Colaco, and YA5TH.

“With temper, we’re offering Singapore the ‘sweet spot’ we all seek: a wine room with fine food and ambience, a cocktail lounge with live music, and social spaces that feel discerning and unpretentious,” says Joshua Pillai. “We’ve got a soundtrack to match every pour, dish, and mood.”

Dishes Tuned for Taste

The food rounds out the experience. Executive Chef Nicholas Tam of Willow and Head Chef Ronald Sim (formerly from Burnt Ends and Candlenut) focus on dishes that are approachable yet meticulous. Highlights include the Crab Roll, Red Shrimp Carpaccio, temper Burger, Crispy Chicken Drumsticks, and French Dip Sandwich.

At the center of it all is a delectable seafood tower, stacked with ocean-fresh oysters, Dungeness crab, mussels, and crustaceans—served in two sizes for sharing or feasting. Desserts include the Portuguese Pastel de Nata, to end the meal on a sweet note.

temper is shaping itself as a layered space designed for expression and connection, opening thisSeptember 1, 2025. Starting October, temper will host its Adult Brunch on every first Saturday of the month, and a Family Brunch each last Sunday from 12PM to 4PM.
