The Southern Gentleman invites guests to experience a gastronomic journey during its Stellum Cask Strength Bourbon Dinner on Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 6:30 p.m. This inaugural event is part of a monthly whiskey dinner series on the third Thursday of every month.
Representatives from popular distilleries around the country will present their very best offerings. Executive chef Banks White is curating three- to five-course menus tailored to the specific flavor profiles of select bourbons, whiskeys and ryes. Distillery representatives will guide guests through each of the courses and pairings.
The featured spirit for the Sept. 27 dinner will be Stellum Bourbon Single Barrel “Perseus A7.” The Stellum Spirits crew decided that this bourbon was too special and unique to be used in a blend and determined that it would be released on its own proprietary single-barrel experience.
Tickets are $66 each, plus tax. View more details and purchase tickets via Eventbrite. Upcoming bourbon dinners will be Oct. 19, highlighting Woodford, and Nov. 16, highlighting Whistle Pig. Monthly dinner prices will vary.
