Something for Christmas

Still stuck for thoughts on a gift or two? These 10 ideas offer plenty of food for thought.

The Last Drop

Only 1,347 bottles of this award-winning whisky were ever made – and only 88 made it to Hong Kong – making it one of the most exclusive bottles that money can buy. A blend of 82 whiskies, the Last Drop is really something else. HK$18,888 per bottle (including delivery). In addition to the whisky, the Last Drop producers have launched a cognac, of which only 478 bottles have been released. HK$28,888 per bottle. For orders, contact lastdrop@hkgolfer.com

Scorpion Serket 88/98

Perfect for exploring the territory’s remote beaches, the models come in a choice of engine options, with the Serket 98 capable of reaching speeds of 60 knots. Price on application.
