We are very excited to be presenting our very first spirits-only sale in Hong Kong, 100% dedicated to this category. In this very special evening sale we start off with a small, precise offering of the Chinese national spirit, Moutai. With more than 30 lots of this beloved spirit spanning several decades covering multiple releases, there is something for everyone. In the world of Japanese whiskies we are offering something from every major distillery, from the one and only Karuizawa to more recent releases like Suntory’s Hibiki and Yamazaki. Our Scotch offering is full of excitement too, with a very special bottling of Macallan going back to 1951 (Lot 109). From Port Ellen, we have on offer more than 30 bottles from the highly sought-after annual releases (Lots 129-157). Please do check out our catalog as there are many surprises and something for everyone, whether you are buying to add to your collection or for your next Friday whisky dinner. 

Under the law of Hong Kong, intoxicating liquor must not be sold or supplied to a minor in the course of business.

Please note we cannot include spirits in our international consolidated shipments. It is the buyer's responsibility to arrange for transportation and settle any duties and taxes when shipping the lot outside of Hong Kong.
