At Least Someone in This Town Has Some Good Sense....

[SRR]

Finally, we've got an all-whisky bar!! Amidst the garish noveau-Irish pubs and waay to plasticky "gotta be seen" dance clubs, at least one place is trying to bring out more substance in our nightlife. Unfortunately they're not open mondays... where am I going to get a good single malt on monday nights?

Shebeen, Whiskey House

Stocking the largest selection of single malts, bourbons, ryes, scotch and Irish whisk(e)y in British Columbia the Shebeen has established itself as one of Vancouver’s truly unique spots. It is the prefect venue for small to medium sized groups and has hosted weddings, christenings, wakes, birthdays, anniversaries, book launches, whiskey tastings, etc. The recent installation of audio visual equipment affords our clients all of the amenities that a modern boardroom offers, but in a truly alternative setting.


Why Shebeen?

The word Shebeen historically referred to a secretive small room or hovel where illegal alcohol was sold. Ours is neither illegal or hovel-like but its location across the private courtyard in a 19th coach house at the back of the Heather definitely gives it a secretive aura.

Have plenty of whisky experience,did lots of courses in Scotland and Ireland and will soon be experimenting with the Japanese stuff,which is supposed to be rather good.A friend who really knows his stuff recommends the Belgian Michel Couvrier,who has just retired after distilling the best whiskey he ever tasted.

Personally I never travel anywhere without a bottle of Jameson,Bushmills,Jameson 1780 or Talisker (nice little scotch).Failing that I'll go for Black Bush,Oban,Powers,Tullamore Dew (a very underrated whisky).

I usually grab a bottle of CC at the duty free on my way out but I dont travel with it very far as it tends not to last.

Will they host a bris?

Not much of a fan of the Oirish whiskys sorry Mike, bar Middleton.... Sampled alot of the Scottish single malts and the only one I can't stand is Lagavullan(sp)... There used to be this bar in Edinburgh and all it stocked was Vodka's, guess it was a knee jerk reation to a whisky society or something....

Give Glendronach a try, its my favorite, so far. 'Tis a lovely, Sherry-aged Highland. Cragganmore is also quite nice, and they're both reasonably priced. Mmmmmm, Scotch...
