America’s Best Bourbon Bars | Bourbon - Washington, D.C.

Review by Nic

Bourbon Bars

It should be no surprise that a political town like D.C. has a place or two with a decent bourbon selection, but none is better than the aptly named Bourbon. We counted around seventy different bourbons to chose from (but lost count several times due to our attempt to count and taste copious amounts of bourbon at the same time). But bourbon selection alone does not get a bar on this list, it takes knowledgeable bartenders and a solid atmosphere. Luckily, Bourbon has both. The bartenders we met knew the selection backwards and forwards and even threw in a little education for The Boys as well. Bonus points for having no sign on the building, that is how you know its a good spot. Bourbon is located in the Adams Morgan district making it part of “that scene,” so it is a little bit of a younger crowd. However, if you are looking for a place to drink bourbon go where the brown liquid is where ever that may be. In D.C. its Bourbon.

  • From the now for something completely different realm, Beam Global (they make Jim Beam and a number of the smaller batch bourbons we have reviewed) has launched an entirely different ad campaign called “The Stuff Inside.” The premise, while simple, is actually pretty deep and has nothing to do with bourbon. They are spotlighting people (all kinds of people) who bring passion to what they do and who they are. Check it out and submit your own thoughts. Pretty cool.

  • Thanks to Uncrate for the heads up on Wild Turkey’s new “super premium” bourbon. This must be the next logical step in the small batch bizarro arms race. Who knows if this stuff is any good (and full disclosure I am not a big Wild Turkey fan) but the bottle is definitely cool. Wild Turkey American Spirit

  • Just a heads up to check out Mark Gillespie’s podcast. He does a 15-20 minute podcast that is very informative for anyone interested in either bourbon or whiskey. You can check it out at www.whiskycast.com.
