citizen's school of whiskey
Every month, we team up with one of our favorite whiskey brands to dive deep into their offerings and history, and then we share that knowledge far and wide. We host master distillers and company founders to educate our team and our guests, and we feature super unique and impossible-to-find-anywhere-else pours, alongside featured specialty cocktails, flights and single-barrel releases. If you're looking to deepen your whiskey knowledge, no matter what your level, Citizen is here to help, one dram at a time.
Welcome to Citizen's School of Whiskey. Class is now in session.
The Fall 2023 Semester Schedule is below.

One of the most exciting whiskey brands to emerge in recent years, Uncle Nearest has amassed hundreds of awards and endless recognition for its premium Tennessee whiskey since its founding in 2017. The whiskey is named after Nathan "Nearest" Green, a formerly enslaved man who taught Jack Daniels how to make whiskey.
Friday, September 1
Join us at the bar from 5 to 7pm to meet Uncle Nearest's local market manager and Boston bar impressario Kitty Amman, who will be sampling some of the brand's signature spirits. The first day of the month also kicks off new menu offerings, such as the first Whiskey of the Week (Uncle Nearest 1856), featured cocktail (TBD - coming soon!) and our Uncle Nearest flight, which consists of 1oz pours of Uncle Nearest 1856, Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch, and Nearest Green 1820 Single Barrel US-1. We are the only place IN THE WORLD where you can get the 1820 Single Barrel, which is sold out until 2027.
