Revelstoke Après: Monashee Spirits is a MUST! Okay fam, let's talk about the perfect way to cap off a day on the slopes in Revelstoke, BC. You've carved some serious powder, your legs are burning (in a good way!), and you're ready to relax and refuel. Enter: Monashee Spirits Distillery. This place is a must-visit, whether you're a whisky aficionado, a cocktail connoisseur, or just looking for a cozy spot to warm up after a day in the snow. First off, the whisky. Can we talk about the collection? Over 700 bottles! It's a whisky library, a whisky museum, a whisky…well, you get the picture. They've got whiskies from all over the world – Scotland, Japan, you name it. Imagine sinking into a comfy chair after a long day of skiing, a warming dram of your favorite whisky in hand. Pure bliss. Seriously, if you can't find a whisky you love here, you might need to re-evaluate your life choices. Now, I'm no whisky expert (yet!), but thankfully, the folks at Monashee Spirits know their stuff. They offer these amazing tasting flights, which are perfect for newbies like me and seasoned pros alike. It's a guided tour of flavor, and they change it up regularly, so there's always something new to try. But hold on, whisky lovers, because that's not all! Monashee Spirits is more than just a whisky haven. They also craft incredible cocktails using their own distilled spirits (and other carefully selected ingredients). Think creative concoctions, classic cocktails done right, and seasonal specials that will blow your mind. Picture this: you've just come off the slopes, the snow is falling outside, and you're sipping a Monashee Mule or a Topless Girl on a Bike in Paris (yes, that's a drink!). Pure après-ski perfection. They clearly put the same care and passion into their cocktails as they do their whiskies.
