This Valentine’s Day, CAPITOL STANDARD hosted QLIKD— a meeting of the minds and hearts– at Jack Rose Dining Saloon’s open-air, terrace level bar. The sold-out event was sponsored by Jim Beam, Sipsmith Gin, Knob Creek, Jack Rose Dining Saloon, and Seylou Bakery.

The event gathered Washington’s influencers and professional creatives (both single and taken) for a night of whiskey-tasting, cigar-smoking, un-boring Valentine’s Day play. A curated menu included nibbles of fried oysters, sausages, lamb meatballs, Seylou Bakery’s gourmet vegan brownies and more.

Guests were also treated to an exclusive tasting of Knob Creek 25th Anniversary Single Barrel  Bourbon. Missed out on all the fun? Here’s a photo recap:
