50+ Things We Love About Delray
“Warren changed the foodscape of West Delray the second it opened, with its sophisticated fine dining menu and, best of all, a world-beating whiskey collection and whiskey concierge, John Fitzpatrick.”
Warren American Whiskey Kitchen Offers Great Excuse to Venture to Delray Beach for Weekend Brunch
“When it comes to weekend brunching in south Florida, admittedly, diners have plenty of restaurants to choose from, but how about trying out a swanky whiskey bar?”
“The casually sophisticated space known as Warren American Whiskey Kitchen focuses on serving up comfort fare with a twist. While Delray’s Atlantic Avenue is well known as being a foodie’s paradise, Warren has set up shop west of the bustling area in a quieter location.”
“One of the first things diners see when they enter the stylish restaurant is the impressive collection of nearly 1,000 bottles of whiskey that line that wall. They offer everything from single-barrel bourbons to rare, bottled scotches sourced from all over the world.”
Rye vs. Bourbon: What’s the Difference?
“Among the wide range of whiskeys, bourbon and rye are among the most popular options. They look similar, are often used in the same cocktails and many American distilleries make both types of whiskey. No wonder it’s so easy to get them confused.”
Is Bourbon or Rye Better for an Old Fashioned?
Which whiskey to select for a cocktail is a matter of personal preference, says John “Fitzy” Fitzpatrick, beverage director and self-described “spiritual advisor” at Warren American Whiskey Kitchen in Delray Beach, Florida, which offers 1000-plus whiskey bottlings.
However, he traditionally reaches for a “deep, caramel-rich” bourbon to fill out an Old Fashioned, and rye for a Manhattan. The latter “introduces sweet vermouth, which would be the complement to spice.” That said, Fitzpatrick recommends that people try both in mixing drinks, to see which they prefer. “There’s no right or wrong with either cocktail,” he says.

The extensive shelving showcases more than a thousand bottles, with an obvious fondness for bourbon. “My goal is to make this a legitimate whiskey bar, like Jack Rose in D.C. and the Multnomah Whiskey Library in Portland,” says general manager Wayne Pasik. “I want to educate new whiskey drinkers.” Among the choices are more than thirty barrel picks—ask about the rare Blanton’s Gold, or order a “New Kids on the Block” flight, consisting of a lineup of the last four whiskey selections to arrive.”
