The Home Of Whiskey
At The Whiskey Reserve, we believe whiskey is more than just a drink, it's an experience. Our passionate and knowledgeable staff are dedicated to guiding you through our curated selections, ensuring every visit is a journey into the rich and diverse world of whiskey.
Good to Know
Start with the Espresso Martini or the Irish Flip. Both are rich and approachable, and neither asks you to know anything about whiskey going in. If you want the purist's version, go for the Old Fashioned.
That's how most people do it. Book a tasting flight, learn the difference between a pot still and a single malt, then move to the bar and see how those same whiskeys work in a cocktail.
Classics and house creations, all built on Ireland's largest whiskey collection. Old Fashions, Espresso Martinis, our own Irish Flip, plus the full range of standards if whiskey isn't your thing. Every glass is a different experience.
