<\/a>Shebeen Whisk(e)y House<\/a> is indeed quite hidden.\u00a0 You need to go through The Irish Heather and a private courtyard and find it behind the Irish pub. The place could have fitted in 50-60 guests normally but it was arranged for a much smaller capacity for the safe distancing.\u00a0 The bar claims to have BC\u2019s largest selection of Single Malt, Bourbon, Rye, Scotch, and Irish whisk(e)y. With almost 200 different labels, this sure sounds like a haven for whiskey lovers like RC.\u00a0 If one craves for food, the bar conveniently offers the same food menu with The Irish Heather<\/p>\n The place has a feel of a speakeasy, decorated with a lot of interesting artifacts and objects that reflect the genre. It was recently reopened after the health and safety measures were implemented for the post-pandemic lockdown.\u00a0A QR code was given for accessing the online menu via smartphones to avoid reusing the actual menu. The bartender and the server were wearing a face mask but it didn’t hide the friendliness.<\/p>\n I do like whiskey. I did some studies on the varieties of whiskey not too long ago and wrote a post in Chinese on WeChat. But I would trust a whiskey enthusiast like RC than myself to decide what to get. So he ordered me The Ireland\u2019s Call<\/strong> ($25) flight, which seems to be a great intro of Irish Whiskey at its best, including\u00a0Jameson<\/a>\u00a0\u2018Black Barrel\u2019,\u00a0Glendalough<\/a> Double Barrel\u2019,\u00a0Writer’s Tears Whiskey<\/a>, and\u00a0Red Breast Whiskey<\/a>\u00a012yr. The Scotch lover himself took on the 45 Years of Dalmore\u00a0<\/strong>($45), which showcases Dalmore 12 yr, Dalmore 15 yr, Dalmore 18 yr, and Dalmore Cigar Malt. RC also ordered a shot of his favourite Nikka from the Barrel<\/strong> ($13).<\/p>\nReopened with health and safety measures<\/h3>\n
