The Whiskey Program
With an importance placed on quality over quantity, we carry an ever-changing collection of more than 400 bottles of whiskey at The Citizen. We curate our selection to show the geographical breadth of the spirit, as well as the depth in expression across all styles and eras. From hand-selected single barrels that are bottled and labeled just for us, to bottles from all five regions in Scotland, our whiskey collection is always in motion.
The following bottles highlighted below are meant to serve as examples of our whiskey program. Please visit us in person to view our current offerings.
Unexpected Drams
Gordon & MacPhail
Founded in 1895, Gordon & MacPhaill is widely recognized as one of the oldest and most prestigious independent bottlers of scotch whisky. Their selections hold a special place in our heart as they were the first scotch we offered as a hand selected single barrel. We are thrilled to be able to grow this relationship with more proprietary offerings coming soon!
