DC Craft Bartender's Guild Annual Rickey Competition
Aug

DC Craft Bartender's Guild Annual Rickey Competition

Join us for the annual DC Rickey Cocktail Competition!

What's a rickey? It is DC's official cocktail -- from the Washington Post, "in the mid-1880s, [a] bartender named George A. Williamson apparently created the rickey at a famous/infamous bar named Shoomaker's, located on E Street NW, just off Pennsylvania Avenue. It was the go-to drink of a loyal Shoomaker's patron and Democratic lobbyist named Col. Joseph Kyle Rickey, who is often credited as the co-inventor of the cocktail. (The colonel preferred bourbon, but gin soon became the spirit of choice in the cocktail.)"

Celebrate the Rickey this summer with unlimited rickey cocktails from bartenders all over the city! A panel of judges will decide the top winner along with a crowd choice vote.

Expect cocktails that meet the following specifications:

1. Gin, bourbon, or rye
2. Lime juice or a comparable citrus
3. Soda water, sparkling mineral water, or carbonated beverage
4. Served over ice

Passed hors d'oeuvres will also be served. Cheers!

Vintage Bourbon Tasting with Sam Medley

Vintage Bourbon Tasting with Sam Medley

Join us for a taste of the past with Sam Medley

Sam comes from one of Kentucky’s historic distilling families and currently serves as President and Co-Owner at Charles Medley Distillery.

In 1976, the Medley Distilling Company of Owensboro, KY, released a limited edition bourbon to commemorate the Bicentennial of the United States, "Medley Bourbon USA".

The whiskey was bottled in a commemorative glass "banjo bottle," a signature Medley bottle design of the era. Labeled as eight years old, the bourbon was distilled no later than 1968.

Recently, Sam discovered a partial case of this rare release and is traveling across the country during America's 250th anniversary celebration to give Medley fans a taste of the piece of history.

In addition the the Bicentennial Medley Bourbon USA bottling, guests will enjoy vintage finds from the Jack Rose collection along with current Medley offerings including Wathen's Barrel Proof Single Barrels, Medley Bros, 102, Wathen's 94 Proof, and more.

Featured cocktails and hors d'oeuvres are included.

The 20% service charge will go to Jack Rose staff, cheers!

Maker's Mark Star Hill 2026 with Master Distiller Dr. Blake Layfield

Join us in the Saloon for an exclusive first taste of the highly anticipated 2026 release of Maker's Mark Star Hill Farm Whisky, hosted by Maker's Mark Diplomat Kentha Stephens and Master Distiller Dr. Blake Layfield.

Star Hill Farm Whisky represents the first new mash bill and first wheat whisky introduced by Maker's Mark in more than 70 years. The 2026 release is a cask-strength blend of seven- and eight-year-old whiskies crafted from two mash bills: one made entirely of malted wheat and another composed of 70% wheat and 30% malted barley.

"The first release of Star Hill Farm Whisky was bright, approachable and straightforward; this year we've dialed up the complexity," said Dr. Blake Layfield, master distiller at Maker's Mark. "

The final blend—27% wheat, 62% malted wheat and 11% malted barley—delivers a darker, more layered aromatic profile, with a rounder structure and amplified fruit notes compared to that of 2025.

Featured expressions include:

Maker's Mark Classic
Maker's Mark 46
Maker's Mark Cask Strength
Star Hill Farm 2026 Release

In addition to the guided tasting, guests will enjoy featured cocktails, heavy passed hors d'oeuvres, and a signed bottle" of Maker's Mark Classic to take home.

This special tasting offers a rare opportunity to taste directly with the maker and learn first-hand about the experience of creating the newest chapter in Maker's Mark's history.

Space is limited. Select expressions will be available for retail.
please note, the event service charge is allocated to staff, cheers!
