Las Vegas Weekly

Bourbon!

The Whisky Attic, $6-$100

The Whisky Attic at Adam Carmer’s Freakin’ Frog is ground zero for bourbon in Las Vegas.

September being National Bourbon Month, we will put down the frosty neon slushy drinks and, for the next four weeks, pick up a proper glass of bourbon to toast America’s native spirit. For the uninitiated—and relax, there are many—bourbon whiskey is a geographically distinctive product. Like cognac to Cognac, France, and scotch to Scotland, bourbon must be produced in the United States. Vegas has plenty of places to get your bourbon on, but none more impressive and comprehensive than Adam Carmer’s Whisky Attic, above the Freakin’ Frog. Up till now a members-only enclave, the Attic is now officially open to the whisky-drinking and -learning public. Visit the new freakinfrog.com in September for the Attic’s schedule of beer dinners, wine tastings and whisky “Flight School.”
