Fathom's exclusive 'Spirit of the Deep' whisky bottle on bar 
whisky selection

In curating the whisky list for Fathom, I drew inspiration from the Victoria Whisky Festival. As such, it is very much tailored toward the enthusiasts and explorers who respect the craft and the history of whisky, not the braggarts and blowhards who are only interested in the prestige. You’ll find a rich variety of flavours and styles, with extra special care and attention given to the Canadian whisky selection, which I hope will showcase some of our nations best distilleries to those visiting from abroad. It’s a selection which is designed to forge new experiences, inspire conversation, and deepen appreciation. Fortune favours the curious, and there are some incredible hidden gems just waiting to be discovered.
