It is being heldĀ Saturdays September from 2-5p. Cost is General Public $60\, Members $50 and you also receive general admission to Mount Vernon on the day of their tasting. \nTickets available here. \nItā€™s a pretty cool tour. I posted about the tour and tasting here: George Washingtonā€™s Distillery & Gristmill Tour and Tasting \nIn 1799\, George Washingtonā€™s distillery produced nearly 11\,000 gallons\, making it one of the largest whiskey distilleries in America. \nToday\, a faithfully reconstructed working distillery produces small batch spirits on-site. \nEnjoy a rare opportunity to taste Mount Vernonā€™s one-of-a-kind distilled spirits. \n\nSample 3 distilled spirits\, made using 18th-century distilling methods and techniques.\nDiscover the history of George Washingtonā€™s whiskey from Mount Vernonā€™s Historic Trades team\, and find out how they distill spirits today.\nTake a tour of the Distillery & Gristmill.\n\nSample 3 Spirits\n\nGeorge Washingtonā€™s Rye WhiskeyĀ (unaged)\nGeorge Washingtonā€™s Straight Rye WhiskeyĀ®Ā (aged 2 to 4 years)\nGeorge Washington Straight Rye Premium WhiskeyĀ®Ā (aged a minimum of 4 years\, currently up to 6 years)\n\nFor the month of September they are offering 20% off their whiskey. Their bottles are expensive and only come in 375ml. Once you see that this is a super small\, totally hand-made craft operation you will see why they are so expensive. \nThey just released George Washingtonā€™s Bourbon Whiskey. Itā€™s their first bourbon\, 7 years\, 93 proof and costs $350. \nEarlier this year they releasedĀ Commander-in-Chief Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey.Ā AtĀ 8 yearsĀ this is their oldest whiskey do date. It isĀ 110.2 proofĀ and price isĀ 300 for 375ml. While very expensive it is one of the most unique and best ryes I have tasted.

Those that came for the open house portions would have gotten to sample an assortment of expressions from these producers Iā€™ve pulled from my collection that are not available in the US. For most of the past 10 years\, interesting and compelling Japanese whisky has been fairly difficult to acquire due to numerous factors: increased global demand\, lack of supply\, expensive international shipping. I have had the good fortune to spend a lot of time in Japan in that time\, which has given me access to many of these whiskies\, but many in the US have been out of luck. \nWe are entering a period where many of the new generation of producers have enough mature stock that interesting limited edition expressions are becoming somewhat accessible to consumers worldwide\, if not readily available. It is still more complicated than running to your local liquor store\, but for motivated enthusiasts\, itā€™s easier than it has been in many years to source interesting Japanese whisky here in the US. \nIn this tasting\, weā€™ll sample several recent special edition releases from these producers and weā€™ll discuss how to be plugged into the Japanese whisky market\, what releases to look out for\, and how to actually source these bottles. The tasting will feature: \nMars Le Papillon 2024 Komagatake Triple Cask \nShizuoka Black Adder Bourbon Barrel Single Cask \nChichibu The Whisky Trail 2025 IPA CAsk \nKanosuke Artist Edition #002 2025 Pedro Ximenez Butt \nSaburomaru Chichibu Matsuri 2026 Oloroso Spanish Oak Single Cask \nFollowing the guided tasting\, we will open up to an a la carte bar and I will pull a range of expressions to be available by the dram. As always\, most will be whisky not available in the US (but you can learn how to source them yourself!). \nTicket Price: $100 per person (includes the guided tasting at 6:00-7:00 PM). Limited to 15 guests. \nWe also add a pre-order food option in case you would like a meal after the tasting and hangout with us for the evening. A Chicken Yakitori by @torisumiyakitori (pre-order only). \nTICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue Details\nRice Market\n1608 14th St NW \nWashington\, DC 20009 URL:https://dmvwhisky.com/event/japanese-whisky-spotlight-tasting-how-to-collect-japanese-whisky-today/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dmvwhisky.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/5981d6a4-aa7b-4d9f-a0db-99dc6658fed5.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260924T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260924T183000 DTSTAMP:20260908T192243Z CREATED:20260908T192243Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260908T192243Z UID:659-1790269200-1790274600@dmvwhisky.com SUMMARY:Jack Rose: Cotswolds Distillery Tasting and Launch DESCRIPTION:Jack Rose is hosting Cotswolds Distillery and their Head of Global Advocacy\, Rob Patchett\, on Thursday\, Sep 24th from 5 ā€“ 6:30pm.

Tickets are on sale now for $174/person. \nšŸ‘‰ Early Bird Tickets are $125 with code EARLYBIRD through August 31**.** \nThis is without a doubt the best whiskey festival outside of Kentucky šŸ”„ and is better than most of the ones in KY. I highly recommend getting tickets early as it will sell out. \nThey basically takeover all three floors of Jack Rose and itā€™s sister restaurant next door and have tons of tasting tables from many of the major brands. You get a chance to tray a ton of great whiskey including many limited releases. But what is the coolest is a lot of the people pouring the tastings are the people behind the brands. Last year people pouring included Drew from Willett\, Pablo from Rare Character\, Bill Binder of Binderā€™s Stash\, Pat and Shane of Wilderness Trail\, Blake from Seelbachā€™sand even Fawn from Uncle Nearest was there pouringā€¦ although I highly doubt she will be there this year. \nThey always have a bunch of special releases there each year for purchase in their bottle shop. As well\, there is lots of great food. This is well worth the price of admission imo. \nCheck out our post from last year to get a better idea of the event: RECAP Jack Rose Premier Drams 6th Annual Whisk(e)y Festival \nThey also have kick-off event the Saturday night before with cocktails\, tastings and food. It also gives you a chance to get first access to the bottles being released at the event. The kick-off event is $59/person.
