National Bourbon Heritage Month Pop-Up

September was proclaimed National Bourbon Heritage Month in 2007, and Royal in LeDroit Park is once again paying homage to “America’s Native Spirit”  with the latest installment of its monthly “Royal Knights” spirits exploration series. Guest bartender Colt Mattimoe of local DC whiskey-maker One Eight Distilling and formerly of whiskey mecca Jack Rose Dining Saloon, will collaborate with Royal’s bar managers Jake Kenny and Alonzo Freeman on eight creative bourbon-centric cocktails, shining the spotlight on the corn-based brown spirit. Guests can also enjoy a free tasting of One Eight whiskeys and discounted bourbon pours throughout the evening. 8:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
