Whisky and Alement

Partystar Review

If you like whisky, then this award-nominated small Melbourne bar is your new local. This cosy, dimly lit alcoholic library, rich with wooden surfaces and classic vintage furniture, specialises in top-shelf and rare whiskies at reasonable prices.

For those not so familiar with this amber liquid, whisky education classes are held regularly, so you can learn to appreciate the different characteristics each bottle offers, such as nose, taste and finish. If a cheeky whisky just doesn't do it for you, theres also a sizeable range of boutique beers and a cocktail list that received a commendable mention in Gourmet Traveller magazines The Art of the Cocktail awards for Most Thirst-Provoking cocktail list.
