We also love the whisky trails on offer here: like a wine flight, each trail offers tastes of five different whiskies that are enticing to both novices and connoisseurs. One of the first gastro-pubs in town (and still offering the best fish and chips and chicken makhani in Hong Kong), The Chinnery has a wall of whisky that, at last count comprised over 120 rare single-malt whiskies, making it not only the best in Hong Kong, but in Asia. If it’s a cosy gentleman’s club-like atmosphere you crave along with your single malt, then the secluded Chinnery in the Mandarin Oriental is the place for you. Not a fan of that particular vintage? Not to worry, the barrel changes throughout the year to showcase different regions of Scotland.Ģ/F, Amber Lodge, 23 Hollywood Road, Central. The drinks list includes over 100 whiskies from around the world and the centrepiece of the bar is a full-size oak barrel that contains 180 litres of a single cask Macallan 1990. The British-inspired menu features dishes that make use of the spirit such as whisky smoked salmon dip and mussels in a whisky coriander sauce. The group hopes to replicate their success with Angel’s Share, a bar that distinguishes itself by not only serving whisky in a glass, but also on the plate. Here, Asia Tatler Dining picks out not only the newest but also the best bars to indulge in your favourite single malt and the occasional indulgent cigar.Īngel's Share is one of the newest whisky bars in Hong Kong and it is opened by the people behind Tastings, the wine bar that introduced the Enomatic wine dispenser system that allows wine to be tasted by a glass or a thimble to Hong Kong. Mono-beverage bars: wine bars and wine clubs are opening all over Central, there is a new champagne bar in Soho called Flutes opening in March and more importantly for spirit-lovers, whisky bars.Īngel’s Share and Blck Brd are just two of the newest whisky bars to open in Hong Kong, yet the city has long played host to a number of whisky bars that range from trendy and casual to the utterly, strictly by invites-only ones. Recently, however, we have noticed a new trend.
For a while, elaborate cocktails that bartenders painstakingly laboured over while you impatiently drummed your fingers on the bar were all the rage.
