World Whisky Day 2017 at Tokyo Bird

Overview

It's an annual event of the deliciously boozy variety. As the name suggests, World Whisky Day gives this beloved dark spirit its own global day of festivities. Sydney's Japanese-inspired laneway bar Tokyo Bird is renowned for their selection of over 80 whisky varieties, making it the perfect venue to celebrate the nectar of the gods, with a whisky-focused celebration on Saturday, May 20.

From 1pm, let bar manager Yoshi Onishi take you on a two-hour whisky flight, using whiskies from around the world. Book in for a session and you'll be given four whiskies to try, along with tasting notes (and top-notch banter, we're sure). The standard session costs $30, but you can upgrade your flight on the day — go for a selection of the world's best for $40 or slap down your credit card for a selection of old and rare Japanese drams for $160.  Food will be available to purchase separately.

Tokyo Bird is one of our favourite whisky bars in Sydney. Read the whole list.
