Old Forester Whiskey Dinner Experience - Barrel & Bones

An Iconic Bourbon. A Thoughtfully Curated Table. One Unforgettable Night.

This January, Barrel & Bones invites you to experience American whiskey at its roots with an exclusive Old Forester Whiskey Dinner Experience.

On January 21, 2026, we’re bringing together four meticulously crafted courses and a historic lineup from Old Forester — the first bourbon brand to be sold exclusively in sealed bottles, and a name that has never stopped setting the standard.

Each dish is intentionally designed to complement a distinct Old Forester expression, guiding you through a progression of flavors — from bright and nuanced to deep, rich, and lingering. Expect bold smokehouse technique, refined plating, and pairings that elevate both the glass and the plate.

This is more than a dinner — it’s a guided journey through Old Forester’s legacy, where classic craftsmanship meets modern culinary execution in an intimate, coursed setting.
