A mythical beverage from Scotland, Ireland and Japan, whisky is one of the world's most popular spirits. In Paris, several specialized establishments pay tribute to whisky: whisky bars.
With menus featuring dozens, even hundreds, of references, expert advice to guide novices and connoisseurs alike, and a hushed atmosphere conducive to tasting, whisky bars allow you to discover the richness and diversity of whisky, between traditions and new trends.
From Scottish single malts to American bourbons and Japanese whiskies, whisky is distinguished by its varied terroirs, distillation methods and multiple aromas. Each glass tells its own story, associated with a specific region, distillery and expertise. What's more, whisky can be sipped neat or in cocktails, adding a whole new dimension to this classic spirit.
Some of the capital's bars even offer tasting workshops, enabling enthusiasts to hone their palates and better understand the many subtleties of this spirit. Tempted to take a trip? Here are the best whisky bars in Paris... to be enjoyed in moderation, of course!
