TRU Brings a Taste of Bourbon Country to Chicago with Buffalo Trace and Old Rip Van Winkle Bourbon Dinner
Two famed bourbon distilleries are set to make their marks on Chicago with a special Master Distillers Bourbon Dinner at TRU on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. A number of fine Kentucky bourbons from Buffalo Trace Distillery and Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery will be featured as ingredients in dishes as well as in drink pairings with each course. The five-course menu, including bourbon pairings, is $135 per person, exclusive of tax and gratuity. Buffalo Trace Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley and Old Rip Van Winkle President Julian Van Winkle III will be featured guests at the event and available to discuss their fine bourbons. They collaborated with chef/partner Rick Tramonto, executive chef Tim Graham and pastry chef Meg Galus, as well as wine director Chad Ellegood, to create the Master Distillers Dinner menu. “We wanted to bring the mystique of Bourbon Country to Chicago,” said Ellegood. “What better time to host a bourbon dinner than in winter. Bourbon pairs well with the richer, heartier foods of the season and warms up a crisp winter evening. The dinner also offers a great opportunity for bourbon aficionados to learn more about the spirit from two master distillers.” Chefs Tramonto and Graham selected foods that complement the richness and boldness of bourbon, such as specially cured and tobacco-smoked ingredients, as well as rich, hearty foods like squash, potato, lobster and venison. For dessert, pastry chef Galus created a rich, smooth date cake with butterscotch and apple that pairs with the bourbon highlight of the evening, a rare 23-year-old Pappy Van Winkle. Other bourbons featured during the evening include: 12-, 15- and 20-year-old Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve bourbons from Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery. Buffalo Trace Distillery will be represented by Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare Single-Barrel, Blanton's Single Barrel and Sazerac Rye 6-year-old. Two bourbon tastes will be served with each course, and a selection of bourbon-based cocktails also will be offered. Seating will be limited to 36 guests. Please call Ruthann Gagnon at 312/202-0615 ext. 230 to make a reservation. For more information, visit the TRU website – |
