Whiskey Class - Whiskey & Cookies

Pairing food with liquor is a much more challenging game than doing so with wine or beer. The intense strength of distilled spirits overwhelms lighter dishes, clashes with intense spice or acid, and generally proves a difficult barrier to overcome. With sweets, however, there is a window of opportunity, and the mellow sweetness of baked goods can match well with both the flavors and strength of a spirit like whiskey.

In this class, Evan Christie will be pairing classic cookies with various types of whiskey. We’ll ask and answer questions like “What kind of whiskey would match an Oreo and a Chips Ahoy?” In this combination of grocery store staples with worldly tipples, expect unusual matches, unique flavor contrasts, and unlikely flavor symmetries. Let's take a step outside the norm, and find the perfect after-dinner whiskey and cookie synthesis.
