  • Flight of the Month: The Arran Experience at Bootlegger Montreal

    Flight of the Month: The Arran Experience at Bootlegger Montreal

    Each month, Bootlegger Cocktail Bar curates a premium whisky experience for enthusiasts and curious explorers alike. This month, we present The Arran Experience — a carefully selected Scotch whisky flight showcasing three distinctive expressions from the renowned Arran Distillery.

    This exclusive whisky flight invites you to compare, analyze, and savor the craftsmanship of one of Scotland’s most respected independent distilleries.

    Discover Arran Distillery: Craftsmanship from the Isle of Arran

    Located on the Isle of Arran in Scotland, Arran Distillery is celebrated for its commitment to traditional production methods and exceptional single malt whisky.

    Known for producing unpeated, fruit-forward, and balanced Scotch whiskies, Arran offers expressions that appeal to both seasoned collectors and newcomers to the world of single malts.

    The Arran Experience at Bootlegger highlights three distinct profiles:

    Arran 10 Year Old

    Arran Amarone Cask Finish

    Arran The Bothy – Quarter Cask

    The Three Expressions in This Curated Whisky Flight

    Arran 10 Year Old

    A classic expression that represents the distillery’s signature style. Bright orchard fruit, citrus notes, vanilla, and a clean malt backbone make this a refined and balanced introduction to Arran whisky.

    Arran Amarone Cask Finish

    Finished in Amarone wine casks from Italy, this expression delivers deeper notes of red berries, dried fruit, spice, and subtle oak influence. A bold yet elegant variation.

    Arran The Bothy – Quarter Cask

    Matured in smaller quarter casks, this whisky develops intensified flavors of honey, toasted oak, spice, and rich malt complexity. Full-bodied and powerful, it offers a more concentrated Arran profile.

    A Premium Whisky Experience in Montreal

    Located on Saint-Laurent Boulevard, Bootlegger Cocktail Bar offers a sophisticated speakeasy setting ideal for whisky appreciation.

    Dim lighting, knowledgeable staff, and a curated selection of premium spirits make it one of Montreal’s destinations for whisky enthusiasts.

    The Arran Experience is available for a limited time.

  • Cocktail of the Month: Brandus Alexus Meridius with Morbleu Rum

    Cocktail of the Month: Brandus Alexus Meridius with Morbleu Rum

    This month, Bootlegger presents Brandus Alexus Meridius, a refined and indulgent cocktail inspired by the classic Brandy Alexander.

    Featuring Morbleu rum from Québec’s Distillerie Mariana, this limited-edition creation blends an Italian grappa-based bitter liqueur, silky cream, cold brew coffee, and a subtle touch of anise for a smooth and elegant finish.

    A true expression of contemporary mixology, designed for those who appreciate premium spirits and crafted cocktails.

    A Luxe & Premium Twist on the Classic Brandy Alexander

    The Brandy Alexander has long been associated with sophistication — a creamy, dessert-style cocktail known for its richness and smooth texture. Our interpretation modernizes this iconic recipe while preserving its indulgent character.

    Instead of traditional brandy, we elevate the experience with Morbleu rum, adding complexity and warmth to the profile. The result is a cocktail that feels both nostalgic and contemporary,  familiar yet unexpected.

    This is not just a reinterpretation. It is a statement of style, balance, and craftsmanship.

    Featuring Morbleu Rum from Distillerie Mariana

    At the heart of Brandus Alexus Meridius is Morbleu rum, produced by the renowned Distillerie Mariana in Trois-Rivières, Québec.

    Distillerie Mariana is celebrated for its artisanal approach to spirits and its commitment to innovation. Morbleu rum is known for its smooth structure, subtle aromatic layers, and refined character, making it an exceptional base for elevated cocktail creations.

    By incorporating a locally crafted Québec spirit, Bootlegger continues to highlight premium Canadian distilling while offering guests a distinctive tasting experience.

  • Glenfiddich 15 ans Solera

    Impression générale: Excellent whisky, très différent du 12 ans selon moi. Plus riche et rond en bouche, il vient principalement me chercher à cause de son goût de sherry. Recommander pour tous, même ceux qui préfèrent des whisky plus forts en alcool.
