This isn’t about tasting whiskey on the side.
It’s about whiskey inside the story.
Course I — The Smoke Before the Sip
Whiskey-Cured Hamachi
Light cure using bourbon, citrus zest, shaved cucumber, sesame oil, chili threads
The evening starts cold and clean — but the fish is kissed with whiskey before it ever hits the plate. Subtle proof, bright acid, quiet heat.
Course II — Fire & Fat
Whiskey-Glazed Grilled Oysters
Charred over open flame, brushed with rye butter, lemon, herbs
Briny meets barrel. The glaze is reduced whiskey — concentrated, glossy, slightly sweet — caramelized by heat.
Course III — The Unexpected Middle
Whiskey-Infused Miso Risotto
Toasted mushrooms, black garlic, parmesan crisp
Whiskey folded directly into the base — not as a finish, but as part of the foundation. Deep umami, subtle warmth, no obvious sweetness.
Course IV — The Main Event (No Safety Net)
Wood-Fired Dry-Aged Ribeye
Whiskey-pepper crust, charred onion purée, smoked marrow jus
The crust is pressed with cracked pepper steeped in whiskey. The jus carries barrel reduction. This is bold and built for proof.
Course V — The Wild Finish
Whiskey Ice Cream Sandwich
Brown butter cookies, smoked vanilla ice cream, bourbon caramel drizzle
But here’s the twist — the ice cream is churned with a splash of whiskey, frozen to hold flavor, not overwhelm it. Sweet, cold, slightly rebellious.
