WHISKEY LEGENDS DINNER

Three whiskey traditions. One unforgettable dinner.

Join us at Western Reserve Distillers for the Whiskey Legends Dinner — a five-course culinary experience curated by Chef Scott Popovic, celebrating the best of Kentucky, Ohio, and Scotland.

This exclusive evening showcases an extraordinary whiskey lineup: the legendary Blanton’s Straight from the Barrel, the elusive Justin’s House of Bourbon 12-Year (only six barrels ever produced), the timeless Macallan 18, and two award-winning expressions from Western Reserve Distillers — our 8-Year Single Barrel and 10-Year Barrel Proof Bourbon.

Each course is artfully crafted to complement the complexity and depth of these rare spirits — from caramelized apple and bacon risotto with pan-seared scallops to a pumpkin crème brûlée kissed with burnt ginger sugar.

To conclude the evening, guests will enjoy one additional pour of their choice from our Wall of Whiskey in the gift shop — featuring a remarkable collection of bourbons, ryes, and world whiskies. (Excludes Macallan 25.)

From Kentucky’s hallowed rickhouses to Ohio’s copper stills and the misty Highlands of Scotland, this is a journey through whiskey’s greatest traditions.

Blanton’s Straight from the Barrel
A bold, high-proof start that amplifies the smoky umami and buttery richness of the amuse bouche.

An exceptionally rare bourbon — only six barrels ever produced — with deep caramel, oak, and honeyed spice that echo the sweet-savory layers of the scallop and risotto course.

Western Reserve 8-Year Single Barrel
Refined oak and spice that complement the earthy sweetness and tang of the roasted beet and butternut squash course.

Western Reserve 10-Year Barrel Proof
Uncut, unfiltered, and rich with dark caramel and oak — a perfect match for the depth of the steak and bourbon reduction.

Macallan 18
An elegant finale with honeyed oak, dried fruit, and warm spice that pairs beautifully with the pumpkin crème brûlée.
