| Remarks |
This is a non-smoking shot bar with no cover charge. |
I had a quick drink and didn't want to go home just yet. I wasn't in the mood for the usual bars, so I thought it would be interesting to try a bar I happened to pass by. I had heard of it before but had never entered, so tonight was a first. As a malt whiskey enthusiast, I wondered if I would find some good whiskey here.
Once seated at the counter, the master explained the system of the bar. It’s a whiskey-centric shot bar with no cover charge and is non-smoking, delivered in a somewhat rapid-fire style as if he were reciting a spell. While absorbing his words, my eyes wandered to the back counter, spotting a truly eclectic selection of whiskeys. Perhaps because of a fondness for Hong Kong, both food and whiskey were available.
I started with Glen Moray 12 Year Old, a brand not particularly well-known from Speyside, Scotland. The aroma is not very smoky; instead, it hints of oak and dryness. Upon tasting, the flavors spread nicely in a well-balanced manner, with a slight sweetness followed by a dry finish that is relatively short. Not bad at all. I then tried two types of cask.
The master kept talking, while the regular next to me engaged him in conversation. If you can appreciate such personalities, it’s hard to find a bar with a whiskey lineup like this—it’s genuinely a great place.
I will definitely return.
