Whiskey week: A Wales of a time at The Bookworm

Books is learning and learning means Teacher's.

You wouldn’t expect a place that serves as bookshop and lending library, seminar spot and gift shop, restaurant and café to have dozens of whiskies, but The Bookworm does (map). The bar typically stocks more than 30 whiskeys, ranging from basic bourbons and scotches to pricier single malts, and includes one from Wales. And given the place has everything from restaurant-style seating to sofas to high chairs, you can pretty much enjoy them in any position, including, I suppose, while spread out in the rooftop garden. Standard whiskies such as Famous Grouse, Jameson, Johnnie Walker Black and Jim Beam start at RMB25 to RMB30, with single malts – including Macallan and Glenfiddich – at a reasonable RMB35.
