Enjoyed a delicious craft cocktail at the 2nd Floor Bar of the Westin Galleria - this bar has what I would estimate to be more than 100 whiskeys available, the majority of which are scotches. The Smokestack consists of The Famous Grouse as a base (a blended scotch), Benedictine (aromatic herbal liqueur), carpano antica (fancy pants sweet vermouth), Regan's orange bitters (the bartender let me try it by itself - spicier than the Fee Bros I have at home), and a Laphroaig 10 rinse. Buying all the ingredients would cost me more than $200, so the cocktail was a steal at $14. The 2nd floor has a nice atmosphere, and the bar staff is extremely knowledgeable and attentive. Not really an everyday bar, as the prices run rather high, but they have a lot of nice whiskey flights for about $20 each - really good for gaining whiskey experience without spending a fortune on bottles.
