Jack Rose Sells More than 10,000 Whiskeys in a Year

Jack Rose plans to celebrate the addition of its 2,015th whiskey (yes, that means they'll have more than 2,000 bottles in their collection) on Wednesday with a "2,015 bottles in 2015" event. That's only one of many impressive whiskey-related stats the destination bar can boast.

Meanwhile, that 2,015th bottle? An exclusive to Jack Rose single-barrel of Willett that event attendees will get a taste of tomorrow. Learn more about Jack Rose's whiskey collection in this edition of By the Numbers.

28: Bottles of whiskey they sell (on average) in a day. Jack Rose works hard to avoid the idea of "price protecting" its bottles, owner Bill Thomas explained (some other bars price whiskeys prohibitively high to keep them as part of their collection). "Jack Rose is a library, not a museum," he says. "The bottles aren't just meant to be stared at, they're meant to be drunk." He jokes it can be cheaper to fly to D.C., drink at Jack Rose and then fly back home than it is to drink at other high-end whiskey bars.
