Superb whiskey collection, but you come here for the experience. We had the absolute treat of having Coop, one of their top whiskey experts, as our whiskey guide. We were primarily interested in Scotches and dabbled a little in bourbons.
You can order by the half-oz, oz, or 2-oz. You can also order flights of 3 or 4. We started out with a flight of four, half-oz pours. My friend and I were already familiar with scotches, so we started out with the good and interesting stuff. Before selecting our liquids for the flight, we first had a conversation with Coop to get a good idea of what he would recommend for us. He was able to describe for us what to expect, the process, history, market, etc. of each scotch we inquired about. It was truly fascinating because Seven Grand has special bottles that are limited edition releases that need further explanation.
At the bar, when your flight is brought out, and if it's possible to do, they will bring out the bottle and place it behind the glass of scotch you're drinking. Our flight was also presented from the least peated to the most peated, which is how I would expect a scotch flight to be arranged. I loved how Coop introduced the customized flight with, "it's not everyday that I introduce a flight starting with a 21-year scotch!" Thanks to Coop, our flights were customized precisely for us.
After the flight of scotches, the conversation continued and we got a couple more scotches and some bourbons. Coop's knowledge of bourbons was as impressive to me as his knowledge of scotches.
I won't bother describing everything we got because you should really have your own experience at seven grand. They had a pool table, lounge seating, and the interior is dimly lit with a very elegant feel. There is also outdoor seating. Don't forget to check out the bathrooms. Men can get a healthy dose of Bill Murray, while the ladies will be graced by Jeff Goldblum.
Seven Grand also has a whiskey club. If it weren't for my family responsibilities, I would be all over it. The whiskey club sounds special, so I would highly recommend checking it out. And if you are able to participate, then know that there is a very jealous person out there (me!).
