Raindrops on pinecones but no whiskers on kittens
This 12 year old Dailuaine come-on beautifully with a burst of freshness on the nose followed by warming speyside flavours of spice and a pleasant lingering finish like the end of a summer storm

The Japanese are masters at taking an idea and turning it into an art. Be it business or food or whisky. It's about always searching for that perfect moment
Here we have the iconic Nikka coffey still grain whisky paired with unsliced Tamagoyaki and Japanese burger steak. Food that originated on the other side of the world but turned into something extra
The sweet taste of aged grain whisky combined with the pure umami of wagyu beef make the perfect balance for a bite as the sun sets on an Asian summer evening

Stop number three on out tour of Hong Kong whisky bars took us to Bar Buonesera
A delightful Japanese whisky bar nestled away in TST with a great ambiance and a truly exceptional team of mixologists
Our old fashioned and 'ryeball' were among the best we've had in many years. A beautiful bar and a beautiful evening

Being a 'whisky expert' means more than just reposting the same hyped brands no matter how good they are. Anyone can google what's in fashion and push it
To know truly know whisky means to know the little details, the corners where popular opinion misses
Glen Moray is one of the most under-rated distillers in all of Scotland. Reasonable in price, imaginative and not afraid to break the mold and, right now, one if the best marques for noth budget and 20+ year old bottlings in the world
This is the Elgin classic chardonnay cask. While wine cask whisky is becoming fashionable Glen Moray for the first to do it at an affordable level and have been producing this for as long as I can remember and it's always been a permanent fixture in my personal whisky cabinet.
They may not be the flashiest or most aesthetically pleasing distillery around but damn do they make good spirit and, if you are lucky enough to visit them, they have my highest rated whisky tour and tasting in speyside
And their whisky retails at a price on a par with the lowest tier blends no less
Being a 'whisky expert' means knowing the whole of whisky and being trusted to tell the truth outside the hype

A night of sweet malts and discovery
Once again we were privileged to attend the SNWS outrun tasting to introduce this month's releases and, once again, we weren't disappointed by the lineup with a whole host of sweet and burnt smokey flavours including a new release Scottish single cask gin
Excellent evening from and we look forward to the next one

One of the best parts of our job is to introduce newcomers to whisky and so it was this weekend when we were able to host a couple taking their first steps on the malty journey
As beginners they'd requested a wide spread of flavours and styles and we were happy to oblige with high quality malts and grains from Scotland all the way to japan

The beat moments in life happen when you don't expect them
Hainan chicken rice is always a favourite dish of ours but tonight it was overshadowed by the dram alongside it
M&H (milk and honey) may be new but they're making waves and winning competitions and medals all over the world and represent yet another challenge to the established whisky order with flavours unlike any others
Keep an eye out for them here too ad we're hoping to be able to bring M&H whisky to himg kong in the near future and you can sample for yourselves why they've been named 2021 craft distillers of the year

Wan Zhou G*i Fan
Happy Chinese valentine's day
Since moving to Hong Kong I've been amazed at how the flavours of Cantonese food complement and change whisky in a way western food doesn't. There's no better or worse but only "same same but different la"
You have to live here to understand it
This is yellow pot chicken rice. An amazing combination of chicken, rice, ginger and rice wine cooked in a clay pot to form a caramelized crust. Home cooked its like nothing on earth
Served with the exquisite Berry Brothers vatted scotch malt to make perfect accompaniment to an Eastern delicacy and one I'm very proud to have been made by our amazing Malty chef

Six drams enter, none shall leave. There are only winners when whisky comes to battle in the maltydome
Our first blind battle tasting in our new location saw Japan and Taiwan go head to head in a contest for kings of Asian whisky and, while the ladies were animated and knowledgeable and took their time to compare each of the paired contests whiskies in the end there could only be one winner
By the slimmest of margins Taiwan carried the night 2-1 but also full credit to the Nikka grain for being selected best whisky of the night
This was our second time hosting the lovely ladies after their into to whisky event before the covid lockdowns and we look forward to seeing you again soon

Our next stop on the tour of Hong Kongs whisky bars too us to at the Eaton Hotel
Retro styling harking back to a golden era in Hong Kong and great drams left us happy and looking forward to coming back

What a night. What a lineup. What an event
It was a rare privilege to be able to attend the Scotch Malt Whisky Society meal and tasting last night. Excitement ran high beforehand and we weren't disappointed
A set of 5 incredible whiskies paired up with an amazing multi course meal prepared by the Intercontinentals michellin starred chef including highlights of char siu marinaded in Islay whisky and an amazing 28 year aged grain whisky all presented perfectly by our wonderful hosts left us very happy maltheads
Here's to many more nights like that

It is a pleasant thing, when the wind is high and the waves crash about, to sit upon the shore and watch the labours of another
Another weekend and another tasting. This week we had a look at the highlight of Indian whisky took at to battle with other Asian and Scottish drams
And what better way to finish than with a sunset at our tasting tables in the iconic Yung Shue Wan harbour
Oh and the winner of the night?
Bunnahabhain Cruach-Mhona
It seems Islay still rules Supreme

Who says you can't mix business with pleasure?
We took some time out of our busy schedule to begin our tour of Hong Kongs best whisky bars and our first stop was the excellent Stocktons on Wyndham Street
A secret speakeasy bar with a hidden entrance Stocktons decor and vibe captures totally the prohibition era style
Springbank whisky and jazz in beautiful surroundings. Is there much better in life?

To the most beautiful moment in life. Better than a deed, better than a memory, the moment…of anticipation
It's always nice to start people off on a voyage of discovery with whisky and doubly so when you've been waiting for it for a while
Way way back in the dim and distant past a tasting was booked by someone who 'had never liked whisky but loved my descriptions of it' and they wanted to discover what quality craft whisky can taste like for themselves
The covid shuts the city down 😒
Scroll on a year and we finally get a chance to gather as friends and fulfill that wish and start the journey. Here's to you chaotic expats 🥃 may there be many more nights like it

It's whisky on an island in a lake in an island....inceptimalty
Inchurmin is named after the largest of the islands in Loch Lomond and a beautiful accompaniment for a sunset by the sea
Here pictured with its sister whisky the Loch lomond 12, winner of this years best malt whisky for under 12s at the world whisky awards. A great dram and great value for money👍

As We Get it?
Got it, had it, knocked it back
Ian Macleods is a venerable old independent bottler famous both for always releasing at cask strength and not putting the distillery name on its products. They have something of a cult following as every bottle is a detective quest and a great way to hone your whisky skills trying to figure out where it hails from
This highland malt come at a whopping 66.8% ABV and is packed with vanilla, sugar flavour and the dry fruit of a proper sherry cask finish. Can you guess which distillery gave birth to it?

Happy birthday Tyler, you're a lucky guy
We started our easter celebrations at home with a surprise birthday party organized by the truly amazing for her hubby. New friends and old had a great time by the iconic Yung Shue Wan harbour and its spectacular sunsets aided by a guided tasting of the wonderful world of whisky by our very own resident Malty Master
This tasting took us on a trip all around the globe starting with a terrifying 68% cask strength beast from the highlands of Scotland to Ireland, Japan, to Taiwan, to India and finishing in the Australian heartlands and showcased the spectacular variety that the water of life has to offer
Congratulations to
Whose world beating single grain was resoundingly voted the favourite whisky of the event
We can only stress again what a pleasure it was to host such amazing people

Cold winter nights need something to warm us up with
It's been a while, since we showed a food pairing but the cooler days of a, Hong Kong winter (13 degrees brrrr so cold 🤣) deserved a nice spicy masala and what better to pair with Indian food than Indian whisky
Created by Paul John Distillery from tropical Goa the Brilliance is a drink full of chewy caramel and chocolate orange flavours. A stylish luxurious drink with an equally stylish bottle. Surely a name to watch for the future

Happy new year maltheads
Here's my pick for my favourite whisky of 2020
The Kavalan Solist sherry single cask
This bottle comes from a batch back in the early days when Kavalan first released the Solist to immediate acclaim and awards and is one of my favourite drams of all time with the tropical fruit tastes of Kavalan signature bursting through the sherry cask flavours with an almost chewy fudge feel to it
Happy 2021 wherever you are

Enjoying whisky is all about a journey of discovery and the G&M Bunnahabhain 11 Discovery is a whisky full of surprises
Unlike most Islay whisky this dram is made from unpeated barley and matured in high quality sherry casks for a light and sweet palate filled with tastes of fruit and spices. Just perfect for a Christmas tipple
