WHISKY REVEALS ITS BEST-KEPT SECRET: THE MORTLACH

U

ncover Whisky’s Best-Kept Secret with Mortlach, a full range of single malts that boasts bold taste and rich notes, matched only by its equally bold and rich heritage. Famed as the “Beast of Dufftown,” Mortlach 12, Mortlach 16, and Mortlach 20 present full-bodied flavors without the big smoke.

Used as the cornerstone of the 20th century’s most iconic blends, Mortlach was the best-kept secret of the world of whisky for 70 years. A mysterious liquid that’s dark and complex, this single malt whisky defied the taste conventions defined by its origin region.

Hailing from Scotland’s Speyside region, one that is known to produce whiskies with a light-bodied taste profile, Mortlach earned its reputation as the “Beast of Dufftown” because of its distinct and thick character spirit. Mortlach’s flavors are the result of an enigmatic distillation process called “The Way,” drilled down and perfected to a science by Dr. Alexander Cowie — a man of the world because of his experiences in medicine from around the globe.

The Range While most Speyside whiskies are characterized by their light-bodied taste profile, Mortlach distinguishes itself with its thick character spirit, with dark, complex, and rich notes, earning it the nickname “The Beast of Dufftown.”

Mortlach 12 Years Old: The Wee Witchie (P4,045 SRP) This 12-year-old single malt is an ode to The Wee Witchie, the smallest and most vital of Mortlach’s six stills, where Mortlach’s signature richness is achieved.

Mortlach 12 has been matured in both European and American oak to enhance its distinctively rich and robust character. It is deep amber in color, with a nose that’s incredibly rich and deep, immediately warming to tasty oak tones, similar to warm wood shavings. There is a wonderful stone fruit element that tends to move toward a honey note,

and then on to cooked fruits, all while maintaining a big yet balanced woody note. The oak, light hint of spice and fruit, along with the meatiness that Mortlach is known for gives a feeling of early autumn.

Mortlach 16 Years Old: The Distiller’s Pride (P7,635 SRP) Similar to Mortlach 12, Mortlach 16 has a deep amber color, and a rich and deep nose, albeit initially shy. It then opens up to the scent of stewed black and orchard fruits, with earthy notes, spice, and honeyed sweetness. The first sip reveals Mortlach 16 to be big and deep, but also quite sweet, likened to that of toffee, dried apricots, and honey.

Mortlach 20 Years Old: Cowie’s Blue Seal (P16,960.00 SRP) Mortlach 20 is a whisky to make Dr. Alexander Cowie proud – Mortlach’s very best Scotch matured for a minimum of 20 years.

Old copper in color, bringing a glass to the nose welcomes an initially dense and rich aroma, with earthy notes and a meaty element not far behind. It then delivers the smell of varnish, leather oil, wood resin, and an added oiliness only present in mature whiskies. Highly complex and contemplative, sipping Mortlach 20 brings the mature depth into focus, starting with the aromatic taste of overripe fruits, then a touch of spice, finally expanding to a meaty element with a hint of espresso at the back.

ireless earbuds have made it easy for us to enjoy our favorite content without being tripped up by wires. And with more and more smartphones losing their audio jack, it makes more sense to carry around a pair of wireless buds. Whether you use it to take calls, listen to podcasts, audiobooks, or music, or watch your favorite shows by yourself, there are many options available on the market.

We've compiled some recently launched premium wireless earbuds that can handle your listening needs while offering extra features you might find helpful for your day-to-day life.

H UAW E I F R E E B U DS 4 Є 1 5 0 , P7 , 9 9 9 If you're looking for an open-fit pair of earbuds, Huawei offers that with the new FreeBuds 4.

The company boasts that it's the first to feature Open-fit Active Noise Cancellation with Adaptive Ear Matching, so it automatically tweaks noise-canceling levels depending on your surroundings. The FreeBuds 4 shines with their dual-device connection, which allows the buds to switch between devices depending on your use easily. You can also quickly connect it to another device via the Huawei AI Life app's Connection Center, which supports up to 10 devices, including non-Huawei gadgets. Battery life is around two and a half hours with ANC on or four hours without it. The charging case offers up to four charges and quickly tops it up in 30 minutes.

SAMS UNG GA L A X Y B UDS P RO $ 1 99, P9,99 0 If you like working around people, Samsung brings adjustable ANC to these Galaxy Buds Pro — with a promise of blocking out 99% of noise — and Voice Detect mode.

Adjustable ANC reduces noise cancellation if you don't need too much noise cancellation. While Voice Detect automatically switches these buds to Ambient Sound and lowers the volume if it finds you talking to someone. These buds come equipped with a 6.5mm tweeter, 11mm woofer, 360 Audio, and IPX7. You can get five hours of battery on a single charge plus an extra 13 hours with the case.

SO NY W F- 1 0 0 0 XM4 $2 8 0 ( A RO U ND P1 4 , 2 1 1 ) * Sony improved its noise-cancellation with the WF-1000XM4 with its Integrated Processor V1, dual noise sensor mics, and 6mm driver unit. These also get Sony's Automatic Wind Noise Reduction and Adaptive Sound Control, letting you adjust the ambient sound to suit your surroundings. A Speak-to-Chat feature automatically pauses music when it hears you speak, and a Quick Attention mode allows you to decrease volume and let ambient sound in with a tap on the left earbud. These buds have new Noise Isolation Earbud Tips to insulate sound better. The WF-1000XM4 is IPX4 water-resistant and promises eight hours of use with one charge and an extra 16 hours from the charging case, which also supports wireless charging.

B OS E QUIE TCO M FO RT EA R B U DS $279, P18, 500 As the name suggests, this pair of earbuds excel the most in sound and noise-canceling capabilities. The QuietComfort Earbuds are rated for IPX4 for water and sweat resistance, so these can handle getting splashed on. Bose estimates you can get up to six hours of continuous use, plus two extra charges from the case. If you need a case that supports wireless charging, this one does.

staunch advocate of education, Jackeline Chua, managing director, Big Crunch Digital Pte Ltd., develops products that promote equality and equity.

Chua, a graduate of AB Political Science and BS in Marketing Management from De La Salle University, grew up in a family that likes to fix things. Early in her life, she already had access to the latest in the technology industry. Her father used to bring her and her siblings to exhibits in countries known for their passion to build things: Germany, Taiwan, and Japan.

For her part, Chua's mother cultivated her deep desire in learning and exploring topics related to science and IT.

Today, Chua has built Big Crunch Digital Pte Ltd. and other companies focused on content. She was in retail for 15 years and 10 years in the entertainment industry.

While still looking after herself through continuous learning and a mix of high-impact and low-impact workouts, Chua is working on making education in the new normal accessible to everyone using technology.

"We are determined to make this (Beebly) available to every student — rich or poor," Chua said. "For us, there can be no better socio-commercial cause we can get involved in."

How did you get into the IT industry? Is this something that you planned? Have you always been interested in IT? While growing up, my siblings and I loved to hang around the factory where my father would build and fix things - a transistor radio, fix the machinery, or our car. During his travels abroad - Germany, Taiwan, and Japan, he would bring us along to attend exhibits, conferences about machines. I was fortunate to have easy access to all the latest tech at that time - for study or entertainment. My mother was instrumental in inculcating a deep desire in learning and exploring topics related to science and IT in our family. One of my siblings even went on to become a software developer. But what you learn as you grow up is not as important as the constant quest for knowledge and the habit of learning, that is.

That said, we really are in the content and knowledge businesses. We think of technology not only as a means of delivery. We try to make sure that our team understands the distinction between our tools and our products very well. We recognize the importance of the integration of the latest technologies as fundamental to the experiences we are selling to our users. It is tough to keep your focus on the product experience when there is such a lot of technology-related discussions, planning, and execution every day at work. It is easy to get overwhelmed by it, but I think years of practice have helped.

Finally, I cannot emphasize enough the role my colleagues and partners play in helping us stay at the cutting edge of technology. That’s what differentiates our products from others in this market.

What challenges did you have to overcome to complete your ventures?

I am not a new entrepreneur. I started in my early 20s and built a garments business from scratch without owning even a single sewing machine. I value those experiences because they taught me how to deal with not just business challenges but extreme personal ones too. During those years, I would frequent the many slums of the National Capital Region visiting the homes of my workers. I feel inspired by their resilience and have learned invaluable lessons from them. I have learned how to value the smallest things from them. It is what inspired me to create products for which minimum affordability should not be a barrier.

Being a woman in business during those years was also not easy. One constantly faced the risk of losing out, not for the mistakes you make but for just being who you are. All those tough years taught me all the lessons I need today to run a business.

If I was given the chance to reshape my formative years, I would not ask for any change at all. I would happily relive those tough years because without which I would be the person that I am now.

How do you describe yourself as a leader?

Management is about persuading people to do things they do not want to do, while leadership is about inspiring people to do things they never thought they could. You can only inspire people with values and beliefs, not knowledge. I make it a point to live and work by the standards of integrity, accountability, humility, and positivity that I expect my team to have. These values among our people are non-negotiable.

I owe the success of my leadership to the team I work with. As a leader, I find it important to surround myself with people who are each better than me in at least one aspect of our businesses.

It took me several years and thousands of mistakes to learn to find the right people. Among the best business decisions I've ever made is partnering with the individuals I have in my life right now. They continue to enrich my leadership with their influences on me.

What best practices have you initiated to create a culture of excellence in your current venture and what are the results?

We believe that seeking excellence in the smallest tasks at work has an overall impact on organizational excellence. To achieve that, we require ourselves and our managers to practice a very simple routine of asking two questions at the end of everything we do: 1. Is this the best I could have possibly done? If the answer is no, then we start again.

2. Is this the top industry or market standard? If the answer is no, then we make it a point to clearly articulate the path to be at the top.

Finally, we empower our managers to make decisions on their own based on the overall goals that are discussed often. We also try to teach them not to be afraid of mistakes. We always stress that mistakes that make you humble and teach lessons are far better than achievements that make you arrogant. This creates a sense of onus and works very well for the organization.

What projects have you initiated that allowed the company to reach its business objectives?

We are essentially a content company. For more than a decade we’ve been delivering content for the young and the youth in various formats. Through television, personal digital devices, and game consoles. Outside of the Philippines, our content or our work is already distributed in more than 130 countries worldwide through the world’s biggest networks.

One can find our content on Netflix, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, Dreamworks Channel, CBS All Access, XBOX 360, Android, and iOS stores to just name a few.

However, most of the growth had earlier been led by B2B content sales. A couple of years back we decided to change that completely and bet our future growth on direct-to-consumer delivery of content. While global markets are exciting, we realized that there are so many gaps in the domestic and regional markets that it was natural for us to focus our digital services closer to home. Through our newest offerings, we hope to meet the screaming need for more high-quality

local or localized content that is curated to meet the local sensibilities, tastes, and demands. Our activities in what we internally call the Watch Play & Read services are where we see our biggest investments in the future to be.

How do you feel about being part of the industry that proved to be the most resilient one during the pandemic?

We were all set to launch our digital businesses just as the pandemic struck. While it is true that digital services have been most resilient, it has not been without extreme challenges. Marketing, distribution, and logistics have been incredibly difficult during this time. Perhaps the only reason that people see digital businesses as being successful during this time is that there are no physical products that we are delivering to our customers.

What has been exciting though is that consumer digital behavior has leaped ahead in the Philippines. Even simple experiences like movie-going have moved to the online space. While that might have had devastating effects on movie producers and movie theater real estate, the forced change in consumer behavior has been a definite positive. We, as a company, have invested heavily in proprietary technologies to not only cater but to enhance the digital experience for our customers. We want to play a part in making sure that the behavior change is permanent.

Describe actions that you, as a leader, have taken to ensure business continuity at the onset of the pandemic? What are the results?

As soon as the pandemic struck, we first rushed to protect our most valued assets — our people. Infection prevention among our team became central to our pandemic readiness strategy. We were quick to reconfigure our offices as soon

as the pandemic started. Those whose roles allowed work from home were immediately asked to do so till further notice. For the few whose roles absolutely required them to be physically present at our premises, new protocols to monitor health multiple times daily, frequent disinfection, daily antigen testing, and staggered working hours were introduced. Once vaccines were available, we also organized inoculation for those who do not have access.

Thankfully, we have not had any known cases of COVID19 among our staff so far.

the lives of people. It follows the entire value chain that we create. Questions I regularly ask myself are: Does our content bring smiles to our viewers? Will our educational content help students do better in school? Will it enrich their knowledge? Do our games bring families together?

Does our sales network create business opportunities for small sari sari retailers? In a country with so much disparity of wealth, there are a lot of ways in which each business owner can create an impact. If we all do our little parts, we can together help to uplift society.

But the pandemic also required us to rethink many launches, pivot our product offerings, reconfigure marketing and sales strategies, and rationalize business activities and costs. Our plans were based on the basic assumption that the pandemic is here to stay for the medium term. Early action helped us get better prepared to ride out this new normal. Progressive reliefs from the pandemic from hereon can only have positive impacts on our businesses.

Do you have personal advocacy and what are you doing to ensure you achieve your objectives?

How do you intend to steer your ventures in the new business landscape? Do you have a personal mission for the company and for the country, as well?

In many ways, the pandemic has had domain-altering effects on several businesses. Much of the positive impact has been in the areas of digital entertainment, education delivery, e-commerce, and digital payments. We are lucky to be in two of the above four. The Philippines, too, saw a huge increase in activity in all those four areas. We hope that this change represents a permanent behavior change among Filipino consumers.

The standout however has been in education. Students have borne an incredibly large share of the brunt of this pandemic. The 27 million students have had to immediately pivot to new ways of attending classes, studying, and even get tested. It is unfortunate that there are almost no tools universally available to Filipino students to be able to effectively study or collaborate digitally.

We hope to change that this year with our edutech product — Beebly. The need gap for digital education services has never been clearer in the Philippines. Universally affordable good quality digital delivery of education is a fundamental right for every student in the Philippines. That is the only thing that will have a long-term lasting effect on poverty alleviation and the quality of the workforce in the future. We are determined to make this available to every student — rich or poor. For us, there can be no better socio-commercial cause we can get involved in.

On a personal note, what else do you want to achieve as a person?

My achievement ideas are not related to business growth.

They are related to the impact my businesses have on

For the amount of time that I put in at work, the only way my personal advocacy goals will achieve success is if they are intertwined with my work. A subject very close to my heart is education. Every time I travel to our HQ office in Singapore or to South Korea, I am blown away by the fact that 40-50 years back both these countries were exactly like the Philippines. They were both able to pull themselves out of poverty and become trailblazing economies sheerly by the strength of the quality of education. Education created a better workforce that helped them become two of the leading economies of the world.

I hope to play a part in delivering equitable education to all Filipinos through Beebly. We want to completely democratize access to high-quality knowledge materials. What kind of books and knowledge tools a student has access to should not be dependent on who his/her parents are or what kind of circumstances they’ve grown up in. I hope to also engage with government bodies, business houses, and other advocacy groups to help achieve this. We plan to deliver basic education materials to students for as little as P1 per day and towards this cause, we are ready to even cross-subsidize from our other revenue sources.

What do you do for your continuing self-improvement?

There is no better way of self-improvement other than a commitment to self-initiated learning for the rest of my life. I read a lot of biographies. I love to read whenever I have time. My favorites are biographies. There is so much to learn and be inspired by the stories of great leaders. I also spend a lot of time with business podcasts. It’s very easy to listen while I drive, exercise, or do some chores.

I find it much easier to make time for an audiobook or a podcast than reading a book.

I’ve also from time to time enrolled in courses to upgrade my understanding of the latest in business. The last two courses I enrolled at were at AIM followed by another at Harvard University last year.

TRAVEL SINGAP ORE, SYDNEY, TOKYO EMERGE TOP 5 IN THE 2021 SAFE CITIES INDEX

T

he Economist Intelligence Unit (The EIU) released the fourth edition of the Safe Cities Index (SCI). The index, which is the centerpiece of a research project sponsored by NEC Corporation, ranks 60 cities worldwide across five continents. It measures the multifaceted nature of urban safety, with 76 indicators organized along five pillars: personal, health, infrastructure, digital, and – new this year – environmental security.

In each of the last three iterations, Tokyo, Singapore, and Osaka — always in that order — have been our index leaders. This year Copenhagen comes first, with 82.4 points out of 100, and Toronto follows close behind with 82.2. This change reflects not a tectonic shift but more a reordering among cities that have always come close to the top. In all four editions of our index, six cities, Amsterdam, Melbourne, Tokyo, Toronto, Singapore, and Sydney, have all figured among the leading 10, with only a few points separating them.

The index framework has been subjected to an extensive reevaluation and has undergone significant changes, including updates to existing indicators, updates to scoring methodology, the addition of new indicators under existing domains, and the addition of a new domain to the framework.

The introduction of the new pillar for environmental security in this year’s index reflects the increased importance of sustainability issues and climate adaptation measures amid the pandemic. Toronto and Copenhagen performed noticeably better in the new environmental security pillar than do any of the top-three cities from earlier years. Interestingly, the index also shows that leading middle-income cities do far better in this area than in any other category. In particular, three at this income level finish in the pillar’s top ten: Bogota (4th); Rio de Janeiro (8th); and Kuala Lumpur (10th).

Research shows that the performance of different safety pillars correlates very closely with each other, signifying that different kinds of safety are thoroughly intertwined. The top performers in each pillar are as follows: Digital security: Sydney (1), Singapore (2), Copenhagen (3), Los Angeles / San Francisco (4), Health security: Tokyo (1), Singapore (2), Hong Kong (3), Melbourne (4), Osaka (5)

In particular, well-off Asia-Pacific cities tend to perform better on average when it comes to health security and infrastructure security, while European cities on personal security and North American cities on digital security.

s a House of Luxury, Rolls-Royce imbues its products with meaning. A Rolls-Royce serves as a canvas onto which clients reflect their personal tastes, express ambitions and often, define legacies. The Bespoke treatment of a Rolls-Royce elegantly reflects its status as "the best car in the world" while stylishly expressing the personality of its commissioning client.

Ro l l s - Royce B o at Ta i l, a co unte rpo int to indus trial iz e d l uxu r y

Rolls-Royce Boat Tail presents a wonderful new aesthetic for the marque, balancing previously unseen levels of sculpture with discrete, sometimes playful functionality. The creation tells the romantic tale of Rolls-Royce’s history, echoing a Boat Tail design but not explicitly mimicking it, fusing a historical body type with a thoroughly contemporary design.

To fulfill the extraordinary client commissions Rolls-Royce has reached a decision to return to one of the historical roots of the marque and to initiate a distinct department within the company, Rolls-Royce Coachbuild.

Coachbuilding is a highly distilled expression of Rolls-Royce Bespoke and is reserved for those who look to move beyond existing constraints. It is based on a true commission model and represents a collaborative exploration of meaningful luxury, design, and culture between the marque and its commissioning client.

The discipline inherent in Rolls-Royce’s approach to coachbuilding requires elite artistic skills that do not exist elsewhere in the automotive industry. Commissioning clients demand an object that is truly transformative; an object that makes a permanent statement and sets itself apart from anything that has gone before.

The manual techniques of coachbuilding offer new realms of design opportunity. Once the preliminary design proposal is penned by hand, the discovery of the form is enabled with a full-sized sculpture in clay, allowing hand-crafted manipulation of the expansive surfaces to perfect its shape. Throughout this process, the clients were invited to view the scope of the collaboration and influence its direction. Cutting-edge engineering technologies within Rolls-Royce are fused with the artistic practice of coachbuilding to exploit new possibilities. The clay sculpture is digitally remastered, from which the buck, is created on to which aluminum sheets are hammer-formed by hand.

The first Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is a curation of exceptional thoughts, concepts, and items, which culminate to form the clients’ perfect experience. The commissioning patrons, a globally successful couple who are highly proficient in the appointment of Rolls-Royces, truly personify connoisseurship; their luxury curation is an art form in itself. Their proposition was purposefully self-indulgent. Their desire was to create a response to a life of hard work, success achieved, and celebration required. Their Rolls-Royce Boat Tail should be joyful, a celebratory car to enjoy with their family.

A classic design element of contemporary Rolls-Royce motor cars is the stowage of Rolls-Royce umbrellas in the doors, in anticipation of possible poor weather. In a delightful twist and to heighten the languid experience of Boat Tail, a unique parasol is housed beneath the rear center line in anticipation of fine weather. A telescopic movement opens this beautiful and whimsical canopy inversely, ensuring effortless deployment.

As Boat Tail is a fully homologated, road-legal motor car that was created to be driven, it was only fully released by the marque once it had undergone the same rigorous dynamic testing as all other Rolls-Royces, including highspeed analysis to ensure the contents of the rear hosting suite are sufficiently fastened and therefore silent under power.

Indeed, each client has stipulated that they wish to drive their Boat Tail immediately upon receipt.
