Learn (and taste) how and why the flavors of barbecue and bourbon pair perfectly together in this savory tasting experience. With barrel master Tom Fischer as your guide, you’ll try 6 pours of bourbon and American whiskey paired with barbecue-driven bites that lean into smoke, spice, sweetness and char.
Tom will break down how these two delectable treats work together and why they do—how fat and smoke from barbecue play against proof and barrel char, and how a rub or sauce can pull forward the best flavors in a bourbon. You’ll have a full bourbon-and-barbecue experience built for you with big flavors, smart pairings and practical ideas you can use on your own patio, balcony or backyard the next time you fire up the grill.
