Vin Et Whisky Maison Claudel - Paris

This is really a wine and whisky shop, but wine and a selection of whiskies are available to try. The place is run by a charming couple who speak perfect english. They will talk you through the different wines, which you can try, or they will given you a regional malt whisky tasting and tutorial. A nice selection of very tasty snacks are freshly prepared. Highly recommended.

What a friendly couple. Hope they one day visit us in Panama. Thanks as always for great conversation and education. I come back Everytime as they have an amazing selection of hard to find items. Thanks for my Rum. I'll see you next trip for the bottle of 10 year old Don P ;)No better selection of whiskey's anywhere in Paris.Favorite Spot!!!!

Vast selection of wine and whisky. Helpful shopkeeper spoke English as was eager to share. Try some French whisky. Buy an affordable bottle of French wine.

I am a neighborhood regular and blessed to have a place like this on my doorstep. Much has been said in the comments, but where this place stands out is their extensive selection of whisky (300 advertised, but for the sakes of transparency I haven't counted them myself!) and since they double as a bar (albeit early-closing, it's only a side gig), 80 of them are available for tasting, at a reasonable price (not run-of-the mill whiskies, so don't expect it to be TOO cheap). This is where I go to stash my whisky cupboard, and will not go anywhere else. The place doesn't pander to the cigar-smoking three-piece-suit in-your-face luxury crowd, so it's a rather simple and unpretentious affair unlike many of the fine spirits places in fancier parts of Paris. They in fact helped me break the psychological barrier (was mostly a drinker of rum for the aforementioned reasons), so big kudos. The two owners are charmingly helpful and welcoming. Great advice, knowledgeable about their products, and able to steer enthusiasts and newcomers to the right bottle.I much appreciate the fact that many of the bottles are available for free sampling if you intend to buy. Fantastic for those in the process of discovery or wanting to try something new - I am near certain this is the only place in Paris that does this, or at least the only place with such an extensive selection (some smaller affairs also have tasting bottles, but alas they also have more narrow selections). Have bought whiskies I wouldn't have purchased otherwise, and avoided bottles I intended to buy that weren't what I expected.Conclusion - great place for a quick drink or for a purchase. They cover the full range of prices (wine bottles start at about 6e, whisky at about 25e - note that these prices are for purchases, not the bar), and prices on more expensive bottles are very reasonable : no unfair markups here.

We stopped by here as part of our food tour, right at the end to sit and enjoy all the food we had bought with some amazing French wines that the lady who runs this place provided! We loved our time spent here and will definitely go back!
