Brandy Library Tribeca
Last night after a large dinner with my friends Monica and Nick we decided a whiskey would help ease the pain in our stomachs!
Being in New York no ordinary whiskey bar would suffice, so Nick suggested The Brandy Library in Tribeca. When we entered I was supprised at the extent of their collection, it seemed to just go on forever. I spent the whole time trying to spot repetition of bottles, but could not seemed to find one which was doubled up.
While being extravagent they still kept the most important part if any whiskey bar intact; intimate, dark and comfortable.
The waiter asked me what Whiskies I normally drink then said he will make a suggestion. This was the best decision of the day as his choice was purely spectacular! I mentioned I was a Chef so he would suggest something interesting in flavor instead of just something old. He found a combination of the 2. It was a 13 year old Balblair from the North of Scotland. It had such strong aromas of Toasted coconut that it truly surprised me, then what surprised me more was how long that flavor lingered!
A truly remarkable whiskey in a memorable place, well worth the trip if you are in New York!
