Good Bourbon at Montreal bars?

[berbatov]

Hi all,
I'm looking for some bars in Montreal that have have good bourbon. I'm not talking about Jack Daniel's and the like, but bona fide Kentucky Straight. Is it a foregone conclusion that most good bars would have something like Woodford Reserve or will I be disappointed?
Any advice and suggestions would be appreciated.

The Burgundy Lion just off of Charlevoix on Notre-Dame has a great selection of Scotch (possibly one of the rarest).... and they have a fine selection of Bourbons as well... i've had many hangovers because of that in particular.... :)

L'Île Noire & Le Boudoir

I love Boudoir, but I don't think they veer too far from straight scotch - maybe a couple Irish whiskeys straggling around.

Still, nothing beats their early week deal. Monday and Tuesday nights, after 10PM, all of their scotches (and we're talking serious selection here - at least 30 or 40 bottles) are about half off. Say around $4 - $6 a glass.

It makes Mondays worth looking forward to! ;p

Whisky Cafe on Bernard is your best bet.

Yes, Blanton's and Knob Hill are both bourbons, although listed in that menu under American whiskeys. Korova above Copacabana on St-L also has both, surprisingly.
To the OP, I'm glad you don't mean JD. That's a corn mash whiskey, which is to even a mass-produced bourbon like Jim Beam, like Labatt Blue is to Pilsner Urquell.

Wow! Thank you. They have a very nice selection of Scotch as well. And a cigar lounge!!! Is that actually legal or is it simply a heavenly mirage? I will definitely check it out!

It's not bourbon, but at XO I had some George Dickel No. 12 Tennessee Sippin Whiskey.
