I do love a dimly lit little bar with knowledgeable bartenders who make a great drink. The blend of the three whiskies (Japanese/Scotch/Australian) in my first was almost sinful and the (can’t label it) bourbon and gin mix in my second most definitely was. A surprising taste I wasn’t expecting.

There’s a glass candlelight on the bar behind and in the background are the dimly lit bar shelves and bottles.A marble top bar. A glass with a slightly opaque liquid in it is on the bar. A spirit bottle beside it with the label “Melbourne Moonshine. Single cask barrel aged moonshine”. A second spirit bottle is behind the glass and in the background are dimly lit bar shelves.
