Barcelona has no shortage of cocktail bars. But finding a place that truly knows bourbon is another story. In this guide, we cover where to drink serious American whiskey in the city, what to order if you're new to it, and how to tell a wheated bourbon from a high-rye. Written by the team behind The Original Old Fashioned, Barcelona's dedicated bourbon and rye bar in Gràcia.

Hidden just off Passeig de Gràcia , We’ve spent more than a decade in Barcelona shaping what guests call the perfect old fashioned. With one of Spain’s largest bourbon & rye selections —well over a hundred bottles, including the Pappy Van Winkle  family. People don’t come to us for tricks; they come for a discipline-first Old Fashioned  and for a menu that proves how far a classic can travel without losing its soul. “ We do classic cocktails; just pick your favorite brand. ”“
