Tasting #39: Annual Club Dinner
On Wednesday, August 14, 2019, the Saratoga Whiskey Club held its annual dinner feast. The theme for this year was whiskey finished in a variety of different casks. We had 48 people in attendance for this great evening of outdoor dining and tasting. The weather cooperated for us which was nice!
Here is a list of the whiskies we tasted and the food that they were paired with:
- We started with a Rye Lemonade Cocktail
- Writers Tears Florio Marsala Cask Finish – Paired with Jerk Shrimp & Pineapple Skewers and Chicken Satay with Siracha Aioli
- Sagamore Spirit Port Finished Rye – Paired with an Arugula Salad with Port Poached Pears & Roquefort

- Bardstown Bourbon’s Phifer Pavitt Reserve – Paired with Braised Brisket with Bourbon Peach Glaze, Summer Succotash and Honey Jalapeno Cornbread
