Whisky remains one of the most beloved spirits worldwide — rich, refined, and perfect for everything from quiet evenings to festive gatherings. In Malaysia, where whisky appreciation is growing rapidly, it’s not always easy to find bottles that truly stand out.
At Minumku, we’ve handpicked five whiskies that balance rarity, craftsmanship, and value — each one deserving a spot in your cabinet.
The Green Label is one of Johnnie Walker’s most unique blends — a pure malt whisky crafted from four single malts including Talisker, Linkwood, Cragganmore, and Caol Ila. Smooth yet complex, it brings smoky undertones with hints of peat and spice.
Not as easy to find in Malaysia, the Green Label has a cult following among collectors.
Best for: Whisky drinkers who want a rare yet approachable blended malt with true depth.
Editor’s Note: At Minumku, this is our personal favourite Johnnie Walker. Supply is always limited due underproduction so grab yours when it’s available.
Few whiskies punch above their weight like Glenfiddich 15 Years. Using the Solera vatting method, it blends whiskies aged in sherry, bourbon, and new oak casks — resulting in a smooth, layered taste with honey, fruit, and spice.
It’s beautifully balanced and offers exceptional quality for its price point.
Best for: Gifting or upgrading from entry-level blends to a truly refined single malt.
Editor’s Note: This is our top selling single malt, definitely underrated for it’s price point.
Recently crowned World’s Best Single Malt (twice!) by the World Whiskies Awards, the GlenAllachie 12 Years has earned global recognition — and for good reason.
Crafted under the expertise of legendary distiller Billy Walker, it’s rich in honeyed sweetness, chocolate, and subtle spice. Availability in Malaysia is limited, making it a must-try for any serious whisky lover.
Best for: Collectors and enthusiasts chasing award-winning craft whisky.

4. Tenjaku Pure Malt Sherry Cask 12 Years Blend
This Japanese masterpiece blends tradition and innovation. Matured in sherry casks, Tenjaku Pure Malt 12 Years carries deep notes of dried fruit, vanilla, and oak.
The sherry influence adds warmth and sweetness that makes it ideal for evening sipping.
Best for: Those who love smooth Japanese balance with a touch of richness and sweetness.
5. Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt
A modern classic that’s easy to enjoy neat or in cocktails. Monkey Shoulder combines malts from three Speyside distilleries, resulting in smooth vanilla, spice, and oak flavours.
It’s familiar, versatile, and always crowd-pleasing — a great way to round out any whisky collection.
Best for: Whisky newcomers and party hosts who want quality that everyone enjoys.

Each of these whiskies offers something distinct — from rare blends to award-winning malts.
