As a whisky bar owner, the stakes are high when we’re attending a Christmas party. Everyone looks expectantly at the bottle in our hands when we walk through the door. This year, Jules and I have pulled together a list of quaffable favourites under $200, selected to please the Christmas crowds. These are some of Melbourne’s top whiskies of 2025, as judged by you.
Check out our extended opening hours below. You’ll find both myself and Jules behind the bar for a sneaky lunchtime dram or that early knock off catch up.
To make gifting easy, all bottle purchases receive a complimentary gift bag and tag, plus you’re always welcome to try before you buy. We’ll also be giving out a complimentary Bakery Hill ‘Lucky Dip’ mini with every $300 spent at the bottle shop valued at $23 for 50ml. We’d love to see you this Christmas, but if we don’t, thank you for supporting us in 2025! B&J
