The Best Stocked Bar in Manchester

If you love visiting establishments that have a well-stocked bar then Rosso Restaurant in Manchester will prove a real treat.
Their Il Ripiano - ‘The Shelf’ has a dedicated area in the stylish Italian’s bar book listing over 18 tipples you would struggle to find on their own, let alone housed together in one bar, making it a connoisseurs haven.

From Rums, to Vodkas and Bourbon Rosso’s bar shelf gives you the opportunity to have an experience unlike anywhere else in the city.
The Appleton Estate Limited Edition 50 Year Old Jamaica Independence Reserve (£450.00) kick-started The Shelf and it has taken over a year to acquire the other rare spirits to sit alongside it. They include:
The John Walker (£175) takes pride of place as only 330 bottles exist of the incarnation from the House of Johnnie Walker, which is crafted from 9 hand-selected casks from distilleries.

Rosso is also home to not one Pappy Van Winkle but the whole family of bourbons, 6 in total. To own one Pappy Van Winkle (£200) is seen as an achievement - the bourbon is so popular it’s hard been hard to get hold of since 1992. Wall Street Journal was quoted saying even Billionaires struggle to get their hands on it as it’s extremely rare and batches made are small.

But the true showpiece of Rosso’s shelf has to be their Remy Martin Louis XIII Rare Cask 42.6 - a most exclusive cask. There are only 738 of these individually numbered black baccarat crystal decanters that exist and will ever exist worth £16,000. At £750 a shot it’s not a drink for amateurs highlighted by its unique alcohol content.
With just 2 more bottles to add to Il Ripiano, Rosso is making it’s mark in Manchester for being the place to go for an exclusive drinking experience.
