The main course was a Wagyu beef rump brisket, foie gras, Croque Madame, girolle mushrooms, and bacon fricassee.

A common pairing for beef is, of course, a burgundy wine and so the Glenlivet 18 was served with one part water in a burgundy glass. Apparently the design of this glass allows for maximum aeration to help the bouquet develop. The acidity of the whiskey balances the richness of the meat. The coffee soil sprinkled on the side of the dish was intriguing, with more sweetness and less bitterness than expected.

What would a whiskey-inspired meal be without cigars?

Dessert was cigar-scented dark chocolate ganache, almond cinnamon crumbs, and smoked vanilla ice cream. Decadent, smoky, sweet, and a complete indulgence, this dish was served with the Glenlivet 18 neat in a single malt whiskey glass.

Both the dessert and the whiskey presented bold flavors that help to end the meal with a bit of a bang.

The entire meal was fun and it's interesting to try, but just like wine, whiskey may not be for everyone. Overall, the quality of the food, the attention to detail in the restaurant, and the obvious thought and consideration that went into putting the pairings together make this experience worth trying.
