Prepping to find those unexpected surprises, flavor contrasts, and fruit and oak similarities.
Monica's selection to match with the introductory whiskey. A fantastic surprise was the Mousset Rhône blend alongside a Speyside whiskey.
A solid introduction to different styles of whiskey. A classic bourbon from Kentucky, a Speyside single malt scotch, and a Kentucky finished rye.
We have been prepping and tasting new wines to see which fun contrasts work and flavors this bourbon pulls from the wine.
Monica perusing for a new wine to try. Total Wine is always a fun trip!
Old Forester single barrels are always a treat. Picked up some mixing water for this one since we're enjoying it with a near 66% ABV.
The Publican is always a great spot in Chicago. Jerome ordered a Four Roses small batch during a birthday brunch for his sister. It's always fun when you get a different type of glass!
