Upcoming Whiskey Dinner at Black Pear

If there is one thing I love as much as making great whiskey it is eating great food.  (To tell a secret, I am a bit of a cook myself.)  I have joined forces with Black Pearl’s Executive Chef Kate Horton to create a special menu showcasing Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey as an ingredient.  Each dish will incorporate one of the elements of Stranahan’s showcasing its diversity in the dish.  These flavor elements include the whiskey itself, the whiskey barrel wood, and even the malted barley used to create the wash.  I enjoyed developing this menu with Chef Kate and will enjoy sharing it with you.
