Bars in Cork city that stock good whiskey?

irishcrazyhorse

Im at a whits end at this stage,im trying to get my hands on(taste) the entire top shelf collection of Diageos whiskey portfolio but I have only been able to find the Busmills 10 and 16 abd johnny walker black!
I need to get my hands on the green label and talisker etc but cant find them anywhere!

Oval,soho,bodega,Dennehys,Chateau,sine e,raven, shelbourne etc..have all been tried but to no affail! Granted they arent a pub you would think of fine whiskeys but they do stock alot of different brands due to there size and age>
Can anyone recommened somewhere in the city where I could get my hands on them asap!

Cheers
Shane

Why dont you try the residents bar in Jurys on Western Road? They normally stock a good selection of Scotch/Irish malts.

Ignore the joker above!
I have never worked in a bar that watered down drinks(14 bars in cork alone)

Its only "langers" like him that dont have a clue anyway and dont know the difference between a pub and a house mesure so we wont bnother with him!

Jurys by the way have talisker but no one has johnny walker green in the city but with saying that I am one of the few people in the world with 6 bottles of the bushmills millenium brand

Ill sway a bottle for a bottle of johnny walker green

I think it was a joke about the floods...

There's a place called The Whisky Bar on Union Quay, but I have no idea if their association with whisky goes beyond the name.
