“Leashes of Valor is a national nonprofit that provides highly-trained service dogs to post-9/11 veterans to help with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other “unseen wounds” of military service. Whenever possible, we source dogs from animal shelters and rescue organizations. Our goal is to enrich and improve the lives of both veterans and dogs: one leash saves two lives. Follow-up communication with our veterans continues as long as requested, and our grant program helps cover veterinary and other service dog-related expenses for veterans who cannot afford it.”

Rice Market - Japanese Whisky Spotlight : Suntory Retrospective
2026-06-09 18:00 - 19:00 | DC
Rice Market
1608 14th St NW
Washington, DC 20009

Price: $184.60/person

The Japanese whisky market has evolved dramatically over the past 15 years. Our past Japanese whisky nights at Rice Market have featured young producers that have taken advantage of the recent global explosion of popularity of Japanese whisky. The current boom is largely attributable to 2014 when whisky writer Jim Murray identified a limited release Yamazaki Sherry Cask as the best whisky in the world. Since then, demand sky rocketed which led to higher prices, depleted stocks, and a significant sea change in the way Japanese whisky is produced and perceived.
That Yamazaki Sherry Cask was part of a series of releases in the early 2010s referred to as the Wood Collection that highlighted different components of Suntory’s main distilleries Yamazaki and Hakushu. These included Heavily Peated, Bourbon Barrel, Puncheon, Mizunara, and the famed Sherry Cask expressions for both distilleries.
This tasting will feature several of the Wood Collection releases from 2013 and 2014. These were readily available and relatively affordable before the whisky world turned its collective eye to Japan, but are extremely difficult to find now. And the current iteration of this series, the Tsukuriwake Series, is vastly more expensive.
Join us for the first hour of the evening for a guided taste of six of the original Suntory Wood Collection. The tasting will feature:

Yamazaki Puncheon 2013
Yamazaki Bourbon Barrel 2013
Yamazaki Heavily Peated 2013
Hakushu Bourbon Barrel 2013
Hakushu Heavily Peated 2013
Hakushu Sherry Cask 2014

Following the guided tasting, the evening will transition to an open house where each of these and additional limited edition Suntory and Nikka expressions will be available by the dram. These will include long discontinued age stated expressions.

Jack Rose Murray McDavid Scotch Tasting Sunday 6/7
2026-06-07 15:00 - 17:00 | Jack Rose Dining Saloon, 2007 18th St NW, Washington, DC, 20009, United States
Jack Rose is hosting a Murray McDavid Scotch Tasting this Sunday 6/7 from 3-5pm. Cost is 57/person.
Pour List:

Dailuaine MM Cask Craft Bourbon Cask UCF | x YR, 44.5 abv

Croftengea MM Cask Craft Marsala Cask UCF | x YR, 44.5 abv

Glentauchers MM Benchmark Bourbon Cask CS UCF | D. 2008 B. 2026, 17 YR, 56.9 abv

Benchmark Bourbon Barrel CS UCF | D. 2011 B. 2026, 14 YR, 54.9 abv

If you are a bourbon guy like me you may not recognize Murray McDavid. They are a really interesting brand. They are basically an NDP in the Scotch world. They buy up barrels from other brands and then age them in their warehouse and/or finish them in second barrels. Unlike many typical Scotch brands, they will often release them at cask strength and unfiltered, the way we bourbon drinkers like it. Unlike in most of the world of bourbon where NDAs often prevent brands from naming their sources, Scotch NDPs like Murray McDavid often name the source distillery…well most of the time. Funny story, they bought a bunch of barrels (casks) from Laphroaig but they couldn’t get permission to name the distillery so they call them “Leapfrog” 🐸🤣. One of the bottles on the pour list is a “Leapfrog”!
The oldest whisky I have is a Murray McDavid Invergordon 50 Year Old single grain Scotch 1972 – Mission Gold that I got from MasterOfMalt.com . It was distilled back in 1972 and aged for a staggering 50 years in a single bourbon cask. Only 129 bottles were produced.
If you love Scotch and want to expand your palate or if you are a bourbon drinker and want to experience more Scotch, then I highly recommend checking this tasting out!

Black Maple Hill Release Party - March 27th
2026-03-27 18:00 - 20:30 | DC
Rare Character is holding the Black Maple Hill Release Party on Friday, March 27 at Jack Rose Dining Saloon
Rare Character has officially acquired this storied brand, and Pablo Moix will be leading an exclusive tasting of the new Black Maple Hill lineup. He will also be sharing the vision behind its return to exceptionally well-aged, carefully selected barrels that honor the legacy of the Lawrenceburg and Bardstown years.
Black Maple Hill was a brand started by an NDP around 2000. In the early years it became a coveted brand as rumors were it was originally using sourced Stitzel-Weller. Over the years that followed their desirable sourced barrels dried up and they ended up bottling NAS lower quality bourbon. This ended up taking the brand from top shelf to bottom shelf. If anyone can take a legacy label and return it to its glory days, Pablo Moix can. This will be an interesting brand to watch!
“This exclusive dinner experience, curated by 3 Feathers Marketing, invites guests to explore a remarkable lineup of whiskeys with a multi-course dinner designed to elevate and highlight the unique character of these pours.”
✨ Your ticket also includes exclusive access to purchase the very first Black Maple Hill single barrel ✨

Event Details:
It’s Cherry Blossom season again, and a perfect time to explore another facet of Japanese Whisky identity! Unlike many producers we’re all already familiar with, Kanosuke is located quite literally on the beach in the Southwestern tip of the country. As a company, they’ve distilled Shochu for 140 years in this area at the historical Hioki Distillery before beginning malt whisky production at a newly constructed facility in 2017.
We’ll taste through five productions from both of their sister stills, and focus on brand new Single Cask releases at cask strength from Hioki that have been curated under Stefan Van Eycken and his legendary Ghost Series.
Jennifer Nellis of High Road Spirits will co-host and give a deep dive into each distillery as we address the long distillation history of Japan both within and outside of whisky, and how the industry will define itself moving forward.
Pour List:

Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still Japanese Whisky UCF | x YR, 51 abv
