Fodor's Expert Review The Duke of York
Central District
Along a narrow cobblestone alleyway bang in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter, the Duke of York specializes in rare antique whiskeys. With its ancient mirrors, vintage signage, and other memorabilia, it is a glittering shrine to long-forgotten distilleries—but more importantly it's also the best whiskey bar in Belfast, if not all of Ulster. It's said they have a better selection of rare Bushmills whiskeys than the famous distillery itself. One of the most popular is 12-year-old Redbreast, while their Powers John Lane is a classy single-pot-still whiskey, also 12 years, with a combination of bourbon- and oloroso-sherry-cask-matured spirits.
