Yesterday, I have found an issue of Whisky Magazine from 2008, which included a short leaflet attached to the magazine. The leaflet is about the best whisky bars from around the world according to the expert staff of the whisky magazine. Of course, I checked out whether is there any bar mentioned from Hungary. There is only one! What a shame! There are good bars listed from Prague, Vienna, wherever from our neighbourhood, but not even a tiny little bar from Budapest. I am so much disappointed. And a wee bit upset on my fellow Hungarians who do not need really good, high-class whisky bars. I will check, visit and put together a list of some more bars with the best whisky offer in the town of Budapest.
