We stumbled upon The Bottle Shop on a walk home from the Opera House. I made the mistake of "only" buying 4 bottles of Starboard whisky while in Melbourne (a must see if you are there!), notably forgetting my brother-in-law. I have been stopping in bottle shops throughout the rest of my time in other cities and have found only very common selections of liquor. I was in luck at The Bottle Shop which is tucked down a very quaint alleyway. They have a very extensive, reasonably priced selection. For comparison, I paid 88 AUD/bottle at Starward's distillery. The same quantity of whisky at The Bottle Shop was just 92 AUD. They also offer tastings on specific days which, if I had more time in Sydney, I would strongly consider. read more
