Irish Whiskey in Asia

Postby emeraldbar » Thu Sep 19, 2013 12:52 pm

Does anyone know an importer of Irish whiskeys in Southeast (or other parts of) Asia? I currently live in Cambodia, where it's impossible to get anything other than Jameson. I've looked into Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, and other major cities, but I can't seem to find anyone that stocks, for example, Tyrconnell, Clontarf, or Connemara.

This is one I've come across. I know they were looking into Irish whiskey but I don't know what they are currently distributing:

Thanks. I figured Hong Kong would be a good choice. I'm very surprised that there's nothing in Bangkok, as it has a fairly large expat community and a good selection of imported alcohol.

I'm afraid its difficult, I've had a bar here in HK for over 3 years and have had to bring in my own selection of Irish apart from Bushmills & Jameson. I just get our friends to bring back bottles from the whiskey shop in Dublin Airport, so probably not as easy when your based in Cambodia. You could try and contact soho wines & spirits here in HK as they might have some in stock, an Irish man owns it so you never know :-) http://www.sohowines.hk
