It's the Saturday after Turkey Day and you're looking for something fun. Try a Bourbon-tasting class! Bourbon has rules, and our Chef knows them from the inside. Our Chef and Bourbon expert spent years in the culinary department of one of the country’s leading producers of premium distilled spirits. In this class, you’ll taste three Bourbons: an everyday bottle, a mid-shelf favorite, and a premium pour. Each one comes with a small plate built to bring out its optimal aromatics, mouth feel, and taste. You’ll learn what makes a proper Bourbon and how it goes from grain to glass. You’ll learn the words on the label: straight, single barrel, small-batch, cask strength, and bottled-in-bond. You’ll also find out what sets high-rye, wheated, blended, flavored, and Kentucky Bourbons apart. Then you’ll learn to taste like a pro, building a flavor profile one sip at a time. The pairings are where it all comes together. Warm Apple & Pecan Tartlets bring out Bourbon’s baking spice and toasted-nut notes. Orange-Ginger Salmon Bites add bright citrus and a little heat that cuts through a bolder pour. Butterscotch Crème Brûlée echoes the caramel and vanilla that come from charred oak, so it finishes the night on a high note. You’ll see how the right bite changes what’s in your glass, and you’ll leave knowing how to do it at home. So bring your partner, your besties, and whoever else enjoys great Bourbon and come celebrate with us!
