Galentines is back—and this year’s celebration is all about bold style, rare spirits, and unforgettable company. Join the Bourbon Women DMV Ambassadors and “Wear the Darn Dress” at The Next Whiskey Bar at The Watergate Hotel for an elevated evening with renowned spirits expert Pablo Moix, featuring ultra-limited releases from Rare Character, Brook Hill, and the newest expression, Hurst Knoll Rye.

Sip through expressive pours during an expertly guided tasting, savor curated bites, and take your moment in front of the venue’s iconic illuminated whiskey-bottle wall. One lucky guest will even take home a specialty bottle!

Whether it’s that dress with the tags still on or the outfit you’ve been waiting to debut, this is your night to show it off. Doors open at 4:30 PM and the tasting begins promptly—don’t miss a single moment. After the event, linger and enjoy the full ambiance as the bar opens to the public.

Celebrate Galentines with spirit, style, and extraordinary character. Cheers to women who sip boldly!

We will enjoy a guided tasting of very limited releases presented by Pablo including Rare Character, Brookhill Hill and Hurst Knoll Rye. Enjoy light bites and grab a photo by the wall made of illuminated whiskey bottles! One lucky winner will win a bottle to take home and enjoy! After the event the space will be open to the public but feel free to stay and enjoy the offerings of The Next Whiskey bar!
