Esteemed Hollywood watering hole Next Door Lounge is launching its highly anticipated guided whiskey tastings with “Whiskey Wednesdays”. Each Wednesday night between February 22nd and April 4th, the experienced barmen of Next Door Lounge, alongside established whiskey brand representatives, will showcase a particular spirit genre and explain the diversity and depth of each group ranging from North American whiskeys to single and blended scotches. Chef Fidel Mendez will delight guests with custom food pairings complementary to the specific whiskey flight. Following the tasting guests are invited to the newly designated cigar patio where cigars will be made available to attendees.
From 8:30pm-10:00pm every “Whiskey Wednesday”, guests of Next Door Lounge can enjoy a specified whiskey flight consisting of four pours from some of the world’s most prominent distilleries, including: Bulleit Rye, Oban, Johnnie Walker, Lagavulin, Talisker, and Buchanas Master Blended, among others. Each Wednesday will focus on a specific selection of whiskeys so patrons can get a thorough tutorial on the darker spirit and its numerous types and classes:
- Whiskeys of the World on February 22nd and March 21st
- North American Whiskeys on February 29th and March 28th
- Blended Scotches on March 7th and April 4th.
- Single Malt Scotches on March 14th and April 11th
Master mixologists from the various distilleries will be on site to lead guests through the tastings. The Next Door Lounge barmen will also teach attendees how to make a signature cocktail using one of the whiskeys featured that week. The “Whiskey Wednesday” experience comprised of the guided tasting and complementary small bites is $30 per person and can be purchased by calling the restaurant or making a reservation online at www.nextdoorhollywood.com. Following the experience, attendees are invited to check out the newly designated cigar patio which opens at 10pm where an established selection of premium cigars will be available.
