FAQ
Whiskies
Yes. All stocks are our own and immediately available in Hong Kong. We do not engage in any broking.
Most of our whiskies are sourced from reputable European suppliers, while a small portion is sourced from the US. Our team carefully inspects all incoming bottles so that you can have peace of mind when buying from us.
OWC refers to original wooden case and we will only sell them as such - by the case. While some may be banded and unopened, those that are not are likely to have been previously opened either by customs officials or by us for inspection.
No - we engage almost exclusively in online trading. All whiskies are professionally stored in our cellar. We divulge the condition of the whiskies in photos.
When search results are returned from our product catalog you may notice a number preceded by an abbreviation (e.g. WB90). These are the rating scores (out of 100) given by various professional tasters, reviewers, or whisky publications/websites. The full list of ratings we were able to find for that vintage and the full name of raters is available if you visit the specific info page for that vintage. The single rating you see in the search results is the highest one among these due to space limitation. Rating whisky is very subjective and open to individual interpretation, so you should use these as a guide only. Many raters give multiple ratings to a whisky over the years, so although we try our best to keep these ratings updated, you may find some discrepencies.
