Not sure if there are many bars that specifically deal with Whiskey/Whisky - but most decent cocktail bars usually have a pretty good selection of outrageously / hilariously expensive stuff. - I used to know names, but I’ve spent to long getting smashed on longnecks outdoors recently to remember which ones are good. In anycase - a bit of Bowie always helps.
Supper Club on Spring St in the CBD (north east edge) has some decent ones. It’s been about five years since I’ve been there but I can’t imagine things have changed TOOOO much.
i seem to remember the pub at the very top of transport (i think it’s called taxi/transit or similar) having a decent scotch collection. it was quite some time ago that i was there and i was pretty wasted but i seem to remember a few scots working behind the bar and got talking about how awesome glasgow is…
i have a bottle of suntory sitting in my cupboard gathering vintage/dust. i can light the fire and you can sip it to your heart’s content whilst i play mario kart and listen to the hoodoo gurus.
Wow! that sounds just about perfect… Tell me is Yamazaki Peated and I will be there with all manor of bells ringing from my person. Tell me its anything else and I will probably still be there
golden monkey, hardware lane - respectable scotch, tequila, rum selections
1806, russell st - run by a liquour historian / drinks genius, worth checking out
blue diamond club, queen st (level 15 of some building) - massive back bar, lots of good scotches
siglo / supper club, spring st - cigars, scotch, cognac
I’ll add a vote for this one, bit pricey, mildly pretentious when they’re busy. If my memory is good there are about 80 whiskies (and whiskeys) on the menu, or maybe that’s the brandy list…anyway…
‘1806’ - i think the actual address is 169 Exhibition street - near the corner of Bourke. Ask for Seb or Merlin. I know that they have a few whiskeys that have been brought over specially for them and are not available anywhere else. Not sure of their Bourbon range but i know Seb has been to a few of the Bourbon distilleries in the US and seems to know a lot about it. Have one for me
