More than 60 residents and guests took part in a guided bourbon tasting last night that focused on learning, exploration, and appreciation of the craft.
Marketing Counselor Matt Koone led the experience, walking guests step-by-step through each tasting. He explained the purpose of using specialty bourbon glasses and guided participants through the aromas and flavors of each selection. Matt also shared background on each of the three selections, including where they were distilled and the tasting notes that made each pour unique.
Small plates with thoughtfully paired snacks were provided to highlight certain flavor notes and soften others, making the tasting more approachable for residents who may not typically enjoy bourbon on its own.
Special thanks to Pascal's Cafe & Grill for their partnership and for allowing us to use their bourbon glasses for the event.
It was a meaningful and engaging evening, and we look forward to offering more guided tasting and educational experiences like this in the future. đĽ
