Barcelona Wine Bar recently opened a location in the Northwest of the city near the cathedral, and we stopped in for drinks and desserts the other night. Though their churros with hot chocolate sauce and crepas (crepe-like desserts filled with whipped cream and drizzled with a spicy chocolate sauce) were fabulous, the real star was the Bourbon Spice Rack, a whiskey cocktail.
Bourbon, lemon juice and cardamom and lavender bitters served over ice. Floral and balanced, but without outshining the bourbon. The whiskey was definitely still the main player in this cocktail. It'll run you $11, which disappointed me a bit given the size of the drink, and it certainly isn't winning any presentation awards, but it might have been the most well-balanced drink I've ever had.
9/10, would definitely order again.
