La Maison Du Whisky

More a bottle shop than bar, La Maison du Whisky eschews the masculine, leather-clad digs you'd expect of a whisky joint for rather spartan and functional interiors. A U-shaped bar dominates the small space in Robertson Quay, around which novices and experts alike gather to sample whiskies and whiskeys from all over the world: the many regions of Scotland, Ireland, Japan, Taiwan, the US, England… even the Czech Republic and Australia are among the hundreds of expressions stocked here. And prices are pretty affordable, too. They begin at $40 for a 20cl bottle of Kavalan single-malt, and rocket up to $20,800 for a Karuizawa 1969.
