Smile Honest John's Whiskey Tasting With Dinner !!

What a nice time last Wednesday !
Honest John's had a whiskey tasting with a 5 course meal.
Each course had a delicious handcrafted cocktail such as an espresso martini with vanilla cream, Brown Derby and 2 others.
A gentleman from Woodford Whiskey told the whole history of whiskey. Very interesting.
The food presentations were beautiful.
1st. - Chicken liver pate with grilled crostinis
2nd. - Grilled thick toast with a soft egg and honey pork belly (so good)
3rd. - Cucumber granita & a small cucumber drink (palette cleanser)
4th. - Shortrib with pureed potatoes & shaved brussel sprouts
5th. - Hazelnut mousse with fresh raspberries

This event was sold out. The cost was $45.00 a person plus gratuity.
They are looking at doing some other events like this. I would highly recommend these events !!

That must have been a real treat for all that attended. Excellent choices across the board and presentation to match. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Sounds great! I hope they do it again when I'm down there. Also sounds like a designated driver may be in order.

Yes, because afterwards several of us ordered a straight up whiskey to enjoy outside after the event. LOL

Honest John's sells good liquor!!!

One may have trouble walking a straight line, if not careful.

Our son loves Honest John's so we eat there whenever he visits. My wife and I think it is okey but the location is very convenient. Each of us has always found something on the menu that we were able to enjoy whenever we visited.
