    YOU'VE heard of wine investing. Now consider yet another investment of passion - whisky.

    Rising affluence in Asia is whetting appetite for high-end whisky for collection, personal consumption or as an alternative investment.

    Sensing an opportunity, Diageo, the world's largest alcohol beverage company, has rolled out a number of initiatives. It has for instance hosted a number of private client events in Singapore at its "Johnnie Walker House", a suite with a view of the Singapore River.
