Every year, as a whiskey sits maturing in its cask, 2% mysteriously disappears. This phenomenon is delightfully known as the Angel’s Share*. This week, do the same with your lunch… be an Angel and share it with a friend!
Angel’s Share, brought to you by the folks behind Tastings Wine Bar, is a sleek and sultry lounge centred around, you guessed it, whiskey! A gleaming wall of whiskey will greet you as you step out of the lounge’s private lift to your table, navigating past the bar’s centrepiece: a full sized oak barrel containing 180 litres of 20 years old Macallan 1990 - from which the whiskey is drawn directly. Tucking in to your hearty meal from the comfort of Churchill-ian leather sofas, the theme continues with a food menu dedicated to whiskey and wine-inspired cuisine, with a mature British influence.
For just HK$128 (inclusive of service charge), you and a friend can both enjoy a delicious three-course set lunch that includes daily soup OR salad, choice of main course, dessert of the day, and coffee or tea. The offer is valid from weekdays, from 12 midday - 3pm, the best time to sneak a cheeky dram of whiskey!
There are THREE main courses to choose from priced at HK$98, HK$128 and HK$148 respectively. This offer entitles you to each choose any Main priced between HK$98 and HK$128. If you would like to upgrade to the HK$148 option, simply pay an additional HK$20 in TOTAL, for both yourself and your friend to upgrade.
The ever-evolving menu changes on a weekly basis, depending on seasonal ingredients and the whim of the kitchen maestros, so remember to check the Angel’s Share Facebook page to see what tasty treats are being served each week. Plus, there is a a vegetarian option on the menu every week!
*Unfortunately, Angels do not nip into distilleries in the wee hours for a dram of whiskey, the missing 2% is caused by evaporation.

Would you make a pact with Heaven for the finest drink on earth?
In the mists of time before science got involved, it was assumed that angels were responsible for the annual 2% loss of whisky from the barrel as it matured,which could lead to a lot of tipsy angels flying into each other. Those clever people in white coats now tell us this is due to evaporation. However, at Angels Share, we prefer to think that a deal was done, and who would begrudge the angels their share for letting us enjoy more than 100 different whiskys we offer.
