Where can you get Sutherland whisky by the glass in Singapore?

Sutherland whisky by itself is not too easy to find as it describes a location in Scotland; Clynelish and Brora distilleries are the ones that are commonly associated. You can buy Clynelish whisky by the dram from The Swan Song, such as the Taste Still Clynelish 34 Year Old 1971 45.7% M&H Cask Selection or the Signatory Vintage Clynelish 33 Years Old 1973 54.3% Prestonfield.
