When Whisky Advocate magazine distilled a compendium of “America’s Top Whisky Bars,” one Alabama venue made the list of 125.

The lone Alabama spot that made the cut is in Mobile, a Dauphin Street storefront where quite a few people would have started (or finished) their art walk perambulations on Friday evening, if the monthly downtown event hadn’t been canceled due to winter weather. It’s also a place well known as the epicenter of annual Tiki Week celebrations: The Haberdasher.

“Tucked in a hole-in-the-wall downtown, this rustic speakeasy is a hidden gem,” says Whisky Advocate, “known for hosting lively whisky-fueled crawfish boils several times a year in its chic, cozy atmosphere.”

In all honesty, rare whiskey might not be the beverage of choice for someone clawing through a heap of crawfish and spicy fixings like a hungry raccoon. But the blurb does help get the point across that The Hab is refined enough to serve you an elaborate artisanal cocktail full of house-made flavorings and high-end liqueurs, without being too snooty to serve up some mudbugs. Or Spam fries, if it’s Tiki Week.

“We are extremely proud, and humbled, by this nod from such a well respected and widely read publication,” Haberdasher General Manager Roy Clark said in a statement issued by The Haberdasher. “It can be difficult to gain national attention in such a small market. Our team works hard every day to maintain a standard that we feel is worthy of this award. Our loyal customers are our greatest asset and I feel like they are instrumental in helping spread the good word.”

The venue is owned by Naude Gouws and Elise Poche, with Tasha Tupa as bar manager and Zane Phillips as executive chef. The team “will be releasing a number of hard to find and well-sought after whiskies throughout the month of January” to celebrate the recognition.

The Haberdasher team says it stocks more than 100 different whiskies from the United States, Scotland, Ireland, Japan and Canada. But there’s more to it that having bottles on the shelf: “The Haberdasher strives to not only bring in the best bottles available, but to also give their hard-working staff the knowledge and experience to foster their appreciation for fine spirits,” said the announcement. “The bar crew have visited well over a dozen distilleries and countless bars worldwide and have participated in numerous national festivals, educational events and seminars. The team has also had the opportunity to participate in five whiskey ‘barrel picks,’ at which they choose — along with makers of the whiskey — an unblended barrel of whiskey that is available exclusively at the Haberdasher.”

The Haberdasher is at 113 Dauphin St. For information, visit https://www.facebook.com/thehabmobile.
