Local Kansas City Whiskey Selections and Top-Rated Bourbons
When it comes to whiskey and bourbon, Kansas City has plenty of great bars and brands available, so it’s hard to talk about just a few. But some of our favorite recommendations that we serve at Parkway include:
- A classic — you can’t go wrong with Woodford Reserve, even if you’re new to bourbon. More floral and fruit notes than you might expect, kept balanced by strong notes of oak, vanilla and brown sugar.
- Weller Reserve is another one of our top picks. It’s a Kentucky Wheated bourbon that’s smooth, and is just as good to sip as it is in cocktails. Sweet notes of caramel, honey and butterscotch are offset by light wood flavors and a clean finish.
