AMA

How to Taste the World's Rarest Whiskeys

"Hidden Speakeasy: AMA in Miami You’ll need to book a month in advance for one of the nine seats inside of AMA—the hidden speakeasy inside Miami’s Japanese restaurant, Kaido, where midnight-blue banquettes and bleached-shell chandeliers create a backdrop for a tasting of vintage Japanese whiskies. Chef and owner Brad Kilgore creates these cocktail tastings for $95 a person; but for more ambitious gastronomes, try the Amakase Ultra Rare Vintage Pairing ($220), available Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. This omakase dinner comes with special one-ounce pairings, such as a 1969 Suntory Reserve Limited, the 1985 Nikka Tsukuba Expo, and the 1982 Suntory Kakubin. “These are no longer made, and are extremely difficult to find,” Kilgore says."
