Ichikura: The best five-year-old whiskey (bar) in Beijing

Japanese bar Ichikura marked its fifth anniversary on Sunday with an RMB150 all-you-can-drink event that featured a menu of 30 cocktails and a half-dozen spirits. Patrons also drew for gift certificates worth RMB100 or more – nearly everyone in my group picked one for RMB400 or RMB500 – for use during a future visit. Good times. Especially after a handful of drinks – for some reason, despite my associating this place with single malts, I got stuck on Cointreau Tonic all night.
