Through a discreet wooden door on Peel Street, you will find this hidden gem of a whiskey and wine bar - Nocturne. Compared to other Whiskey bar counterparts in Central, Nocturne offers special edition or small distilleries whiskey at reasonable prices. I tried a couple of whiskies and out of those, suggest the following: Ootori - A blended whiskey with a distinct 'banana' flavour to it. Hibiki Deep Harmony -- A must try!

Compared to other Whiskey bar counterparts in Central, Nocturne offers special edition or small distilleries whiskey at reasonable prices. I tried a couple of whiskies and out of those, suggest the following: Ootori - A blended whiskey with a distinct 'banana' flavour to it.
Hibiki Deep Harmony -- A must try! This edition is based on the Hakushu finished in a wine cask. A fragrant pear afternote but with less of that grain whiskey flavour, the unique taste of this blend is accentuated by the use of the ex-red wine cask Hakushu. May I add that this is not widely available in HK. Even in Japan, it is a trade only bottle and cannot be purchased widely. I was told the owner personally travelled to Japan to search for any bottles of this limited edition piece!
Hibiki Mellow Harmony -- A counterpart to the Deep Harmony, the Mellow Harmony features Yamazaki in sherry casks. I personally prefer the Deep Harmony over this, because if you are keen for this oak, sherried cask flavour, there are other modest price options which deliver a comparable palate.
Apart from whiskey, Nocturne also features an extensive wine list. The whole second floor is a wine storage area so you're bound to find something interesting!
