In Honor Of National Scotch Day, Here Are Six Great Los Angeles Scotch Bars

£10

As much as we love a good dive, when it comes to Scotch, there's nothing wrong with indulging your classy side. It's a refined drink meant to be sipped and savored, and that conjures up images of marble bar tops, wood-paneled lounges, immaculate service– basically, it conjures up images of Ten Pound, the Montage Beverly Hills' indulgently upscale secret lounge above Scarpetta. As a bar specifically oriented around the legendary whiskeys of The Macallan, one of the world's most respected and recognizable Scotch brands.  And to complement their unmatched collection of rare Macallan expressions and extremely old bottles (according to CBS they have exactly one dram remaining of a 64 year old Macallan, which can be yours for a $64,000 donation to Charity Water), they've added the kind of super-upscale touches that make the somewhat high prices worth it, including ice made from imported Scottish water, $600 Lalique glasses, and, of course, a decadently upscale bar menu courtesy of the Scarpetta kitchen. Of course, keep in mind that you can't just waltz into a place like this: reservations are required (see the below phone number), and there's a $50 minimum per person. £10 At Scarpetta Montage Hotel 225 North Canon Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210 (310) 860-5808 http://www.montagebeverlyhills.com/beverly-hills-bar.php [via]
