We imagine our Whiskey-makers to have names like “Angus McSolid” and look like “The Most Interesting Man in the World” from the Dos Equis commercials. The founder of Georgetown Trading Co. looks like a mix between Bruce Willis and Rutger Hauer. That, and with a name like “Amir Peay” he’d make a great Bond villain from the Sean Connery era. But a distiller could look like a Smurf, and so long as they make great spirits we’ll call ‘em “sir,” right?
And that’s what we have here… a solid little craft-distilling company based in the Washington DC Georgetown neighborhood making a range of full-flavored spirits… and owned by someone who just might be an agent of SECTRE. Their range of quality brands includes John H. Sullivan Irish Whiskies, James E. Pepper 1776 Bourbons and Ryes, Pow Wow Botanical Rye, and 1776 Napa Valley Wines.
