As we mentioned in a previous article (read here), old world whisky – thought to be long past their glory – are making a spirited comeback, thanks to their inimitable flavour and limited availability. Here we present three such old world whisky recommendations by Daniel Lam, Head of Wine and Whisky at Bonhams Hong Kong.

Glen Mhor, official bottles from the 1970s: In active operation for less than a century (1892 to 1983), only 28 bottles from its heyday are known to exist.

Littlemill, independent bottles from 1990: Shutdown following fire damage in 1994, new independent releases appear on the market only sporadically.

Ladyburn, five official bottles: With barely a decade of distilling to its name, Ladyburn remains the veritable Holy Grail of the world of grain-based beverages.
