Get ready for the ultimate whiskey night, as Uncle Ming is now here to activate your whiskey palate!
Uncle Ming, a young whisky bar atop the 25th floor of AKI Hong Kong hotel, should be your next destination to relax, enjoy the combination of the city skyline, mountain, and harbour views and experience the flights of whisky from 80 international labels. Here are the top whiskey cocktails you should taste in this one of the best bars and restaurants in Wan Chai.
Oolongtini
Begin your night with the fizzy, comforting, and nectarous, Oolongtini.
Oolongtini is a unique mix of three single malt whiskies, Oolong tea, and a zest of honey and orange zest. It is served under a dramatically smoked glass dome creating a deep flavor and sensation. This extraordinary fusion will make your evening special and perfectly set the night’s mood.
Brown Derby
The Brown Derby cocktail is a combination of bourbon, grapefruit juice, and honey syrup. According to the Craft of the Cocktail, a book by Dale DeGroff, Brown Derby was created at the Vendôme Club in Los Angeles in the 1930s. It was named for the eponymous hat-shaped diner nearby.
This fantastic blend surprisingly binds the tart citrus and the spicy bourbon for a distinct taste.
Whisky Smash
On the other hand, Whisky Smash is a classic cocktail with a bright and refreshing flavor. This blend comes from “Professor” Jerry Thomas’ Bar-Tenders Guide book but has been enjoyed by many before the recipe publication.
This cocktail drink features a refreshing blend of whisky and mint to energize your beautiful evening.
Boulevardier
Boulevardier whisky is perfect on a chilly evening or mixed into your favorite cocktail with its rich, warm flavors and hints of citrus and spice. It’s an excellent choice if you like a bolder drink but a newbie to the whisky world. The Boulevardier swaps gin for a higher ratio of bourbon, resulting in a sweet and rich flavor, unlike the Negroni, which uses equal parts of gin, vermouth, and Campari.
Ward Eight
This American whiskey is crafted using a blend of rye, corn, and malted barley, resulting in a smooth and complex flavor profile. It is a signature cocktail served at Uncle Ming’s, a popular bar and restaurant specializing in high-quality whiskey and Asian-inspired cuisine. It’s an excellent choice for sipping neat or mixing your favorite cocktails. Give Ward Eight Whisky a try and discover why it’s quickly becoming a fan favorite!
Millionaire
Millionaire is a rich and flavorful blend that will impress every whisky lover.
Uncle Ming’s Millionaires is a premium whiskey brand that collectors and enthusiasts covet.
It’s perfect for special occasions or to enjoy a nightcap with friends. This brand is renowned for its distinct flavor profile, developed using meticulous aging and carefully selected components.
The result is a smooth and complex flavor profile that features notes of honey, vanilla, oak, and just a hint of smoke.
Algonquin
Algonquin is a popular variation involving sweet white vermouth instead of dry vermouth, making for a less dry cocktail. It’s perfect if you have a sweet tooth! It’s a delightful whiskey martini with a tropical twist, a little lighter than whiskey favorites such as Manhattan.
For every wine enthusiast, Uncle Ming’s Algonquin Wine is a must-try! The stunning Algonquin served as the inspiration for this innovative red-white wine combination. Each sip of Algonquin Wine guarantees that it will be pleasurable. This wine stands out in its category thanks to its distinctive blend and silky finish.
