Downtown Restaurant Launches Whiskey League

1543

Promising to warm your belly during the cold days ahead, a downtown restaurant is launching a whiskey league.

What the heck is a whiskey league?

It’s a series of classes where you drink and learn about whiskey, of course.

One Bourbon, at 608 Bridge Street NW, explained, “Each league session will feature different special guests, teaching us all we ever wanted to know about their particular specialties and how to better appreciate these wonderful spirits.”

The classes will be held in One Bourbon’s private event space, the Lounge and Oak Room, which is outfitted with plenty of “comfy, wing-back chairs” and a “sexy as hell upstairs bar.”

Whiskey League membership is $110 and includes admission to all six weeks of tastings, pairings, a logo rocks glass, and a commemorative t-shirt. That is at least 18 ounces of high-quality booze plus six snacks, One Bourbon noted.

One Bourbon said Whiskey League members are also guaranteed their choice of pour (at an additional cost) from the Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve Selections during an exclusive early release date, March 28 only for Whiskey Society members, before the general release on its one year anniversary.

Space is limited to 25 members so sign up early if you want to make the cut.
