I'm never keen on cocktail bars because I'm not interested in cocktails. It's just a lot of hype and showmanship. I'm not keen on the sugar and the mix of flavors. If I go, that's for the company of friends who enjoy cocktails.
I like my drinks plain and boring. I stick to whisky, or a glass of classic, non-inventive gin and tonic. I've learnt (the expensive way) to check prices of whisky at cocktail bars because they tend to jack it up for no good reason. Come on, S$29 for a standard pour of Lagavulin 16 y.o or S$49 for a miserly glass of Hibiki Harmony is too much.
Popped by Taylor Adam that night since the friends like it and wouldn't mind their cocktails. No floofs came along, of course. It was very nice to sit in air-conditioning. Music was terrible, but at least th volume was okay and non-intrusive.
Many cocktails were had, alongside whisky. Also had an easy bottle of red wine since WP and M don't do whisky and they weren't in the mood for cocktails. Hibiki Harmony was the bottle of the night. I'm not a big fan of Japanese whisky. It's a tad too sweet for me. After a while, I toddled off to the bar to look for a glass of peat. This bar doesn't stock much peat. The Bowmore 15 y.o isn't the 'darkest', so I decided against it. I settled for a lovely Caol Ila 12 y.o.
