The Haven at the Brewery
About
The Haven at the Brewery is a Scottish restaurant and bar in Boston whose motto promises Scottish food, drink and great banter. Whisky is a major focus, and the bar hosts guided tastings built around specific distilleries, giving guests the chance to taste expressions side by side and hear the stories behind them, from the unpeated Classic Laddie to heavily peated Port Charlotte and Octomore.
Tasting nights have been led by The Haven’s Jason Waddleton with partners such as Norfolk Wine & Spirits, and they have included the launch of a Bruichladdich single cask bottled for a Massachusetts whisky group through the distillery’s Micro-Provenance program, a first for the state. Other evenings bring in distillery guests, such as James Wills of Islay’s Kilchoman, for intimate conversations about how whisky is made, with light Scottish snacks served throughout.
