WhistlePig Old World 12 Year Old Rye Whiskey & Kurobuta Pork Short Rib with Agrodolce Glaze, Shallot Crunch, Chive

About whiskey: 

“WhistlePig’s vanguard of finishing lies within our Old World Rye, Aged 12 Years. A Rye styled by Old World sensibilities at 86-proof. This whiskey is the marriage of three finishes, each with their own distinctive flavor profiles. After maturing for 12 years in New American Oak, the spirit is divvied into one of three barrels –Madeira (63%), Sauternes (30%) and Port (7%). Finished to perfection and blended into a symphony of flavor. It started as a grand experiment and ended as the first Rye whiskey of its kind, giving you Rye in all its glory.. and then some. Just like a fine wine, our Old World Rye’s rich fruit and spice notes are great with an epic meal.”  https://whistlepigwhiskey.com/whiskeys/12-year/ 

About Kurobuta:


“Kurobuta” is the Japanese name for this heritage breed, meaning “black pig.” This designation refers to the Japanese program for pure-bred Berkshire pigs, with a feeding regiment designed for maximum marbling and a pH that retains juiciness (similar in concept to what they do with Wagyu cattle — aka Kobe beef).” https://nafood.com/berkshire-kurobuta-pork/ 

Midleton Irish Whiskey Very Rare Vintage Release 2017 & Sonoma County Liberty Duck Breast with Juniper berry duck jus, Pickled Brussels sprouts, Grilled persimmon, seared duck liver, sautéed mustard seeds, grilled raspberry fluid gel

About whiskey:

“Created in 1984 and released annually since then, Midleton Very Rare is one of the most exclusive and sought after Irish whiskeys.

Once a year our Master Distiller hand selects only the finest and rarest whiskeys available to him and then carefully blends them to create each annual vintage of Midleton Very Rare Vintage Release. Only a limited number of bottles of this unique Irish whiskey vintage are released each year. “ https://www.midletonveryrare.com/en/our-whiskey/be-part-of-the-midleton-legacy 

“Terrific whiskey from Midleton, part of the Very Rare series that was first created by then Master Distiller Barry Crockett in 1984. This 2017 edition includes the oldest whiskeys used in the blend so far – 26-year-old single pot still whiskey and 32-year-old grain whiskey – and in total the blend ranges from 12 years to 32 year in age, all matured in ex-bourbon barrels.

This is an intensely aromatic whiskey with notes of floral honey, crunchy apples, mangos, vanilla biscuits and a twist of citrus. These carry over into the palate, where they are joined by toffee and spices, most notably ginger. Midleton Very Rare 2017 is a fine dram that would make a superb gift for any Irish whiskey lover.” https://www.drinkshero.com/products/midleton-very-rare-2018?_pos=1&_sid=f04fdb73d&_ss=r 

About Sonoma County Liberty Duck:

“Sonoma County Poultry was founded in 1992 by Jim Reichardt, a fourth-generation duck farmer, in response to chefs’ demands for a larger, meatier, more flavorful duck. Our “Liberty Ducks” are a strain of Pekin Duck that was developed in Denmark and is suited to a slower, less stressful style of rearing. This results in a market age of about 9 weeks as opposed to six weeks for other commercially grown birds.

Sonoma County has the perfect climate for raising ducks in this style. Our temperate climate allows us to raise Liberty Ducks year-round, on straw litter, in an open environment with a minimum of intrusion. Liberty Ducks receive no antibiotics or hormones and are fed a diet that consists largely of corn and other grains. The combination of all these factors result in the best, most flavorful duck available in the country today.” https://libertyducks.com/blogs/news/about-us

Lush toffee sweetness and dark chocolate with hints of vanilla, fudge, nougat and molasses. Underlying notes of dates, tobacco, dark berries, spearmint and a hint of coffee round out the palate.” https://www.buffalotracedistillery.com/our-brands/antique-collection.html

“The Dalmore King Alexander III showcases The Dalmore’s commitment to the art of cask curation; it is the world’s first single malt to create an assemblage of six cask finishes.

Initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks, the liquid is apportioned between small batch ex-Bourbon casks, Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casks, Madeira barrels, Marsala casks, Port pipes and Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques. These are then brought together in an in-situ Sherry butt to harmonise.”
