Lotte Duty Free has signed on to sell Glenfiddich Grand Yozakura 29-YO at Incheon International Airport.

Released after nearly three decades of maturation at Glenfiddich distillery, Glenfiddich Grand Yozakura is the first limited edition of its 2023 spring season Grand series. It is also the first Scotch whisky to mature in Awamori casks in Okinawa, Japan, and is a rare single malt whiskey worldwide.

Considering the limited stock available, Lotte Duty Free is offering this expression on a first-come, first-served basis at the airport.

According to Lotte Duty Free, the growing demand for whiskey will continue in 2023 and the retailer is working to strengthen its spirits offering by becoming the only domestic duty free shop to secure Glenfiddich Grand Yozakura 29-YO.

During the first quarter of last year, liquor sales at Lotte Duty Free increased by almost 87% compared to the same period last year, and sales of single malts more than tripled.

"In the case of liquor products, duty free shops have excellent price competitiveness compared to local stores, so the number of customers looking for liquor products is steadily increasing We will introduce a variety of alcoholic beverages, including malt whiskey, to our customers,” said Lee Jung-min, Head of Product Division at Lotte Duty Free.

Until May 31, alcoholic beverages, including popular whiskeys such as Ballantine's 21-YO and Johnnie Walker Blue, will be on sale at a 20% discount on purchases of one bottle and at a 30% discount on purchases of two or more bottles.

Also in the news, Lotte Duty Free is holding various discount events to attract domestic and international customers in line with the increase in overseas travel.
