Angus Dundee Distillers launched Maltluxe Whisky House in a five- floor townhouse in the Xuhui District of Shanghai, a recently built prestigious development that also houses the Capella Hotel and other luxury brands.

The entire development is designed in a classic exterior style known as Shanghai 1930’s Shikumen Townhouses, with narrow alley ways, brick exterior, and handmade doors and windows. Access to the facility is by invitation only, and membership comes along with the purchase of a barrel of Single Cast Malt Whisky.

Materials used include the iconic copper stills and casks of previously used bourbon barrels, crafted from white oak. The ground floor houses the showroom with display walls, accented with copper details; each bottle of labelled rare whisky is presented like individual jewels, not typically available on the retail market. A central diamond shaped case, designed in the tradition of the ‘Spirit & Sample Safe’ found at all distilleries, displays samples of single cast malts, available only at the Maltluxe Whisky House.

On the lower floor, members can lounge in a clubroom atmosphere while sipping their private stock, trade tastings with fellow members, or simply enjoying other rare single cast malts available by the bottle. The fully equipped clubhouse facility allows members to host private tasting parties with up to a dozen guests. The upper floors provide more private lounge areas with balconies for cigar lovers. Maltluxe Whisky House is a unique and exclusive private retreat away from the hustle and bustle of busy Shanghai.
