Whiskey Down at MGM Grand—Las Vegas

The biggest hotel in Sin City has an oversized whisky program to match and, like the casino, it’s open 24/7. Whiskey Down’s offerings include an MGM-selected single-barrel Kavalan Sherry Cask and private casks from independent bottlers like Gordon & MacPhail—currently a 1997 Macallan bottled for the bar at 46% ABV instead of 43%, the only one of its kind. It has a rotating selection of other rare Macallans, which recently included a 1946 vintage, plus whiskies from all over the world at every price point, about 300 in all.
