Panacea – Auckland

Tastefully tucked away in the heart of Auckland, Panacea specialises in rare and hard-to-find whisky (and really, really good cocktails), whether you’re in the warm, cosy main space or the doubly secluded whisky room hidden behind an old industrial locker.

The whisky selection itself will definitely impress – expect rare and deep-cut gems from the big names, mouth-watering independent bottlings from every corner of the whisky world, and even the occasional collab-cask the bar have picked out and bottled themselves.

Show your card for 20% off drams, or book yourself in for one of their frequent whisky tasting nights, which focus on different eras, regions, or styles, and invariably feature some pretty special stuff (plus delicious snacks).
