Your Bourbon & Beyond weekend starts at Oliver’s.
The team at Oliver’s Chop House took their bourbon knowledge to the next level today with an educational tasting led by Senior Director of Food & Beverage, Chad Sullivan, featuring the legendary Pappy Van Winkle collection.
Our team had the opportunity to taste a Pappy Van Winkle vertical featuring:
Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year — 90.4 Proof
Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 15 Year — 107 Proof
Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year — 90.4 Proof
Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year — 95.6 Proof
What makes this flight especially unique? All four share the same wheated mash bill. The key variable across the flight is time in the barrel, allowing our team to experience how maturation can influence the flavor, aroma and character of each bourbon.
Using a bourbon tasting wheel, team members explored different aromas, flavors and tasting notes while learning how to identify the subtle differences between each expression.
This was more than a tasting, it was an opportunity to deepen our team's bourbon knowledge and bring that expertise directly to your table.
Ready to taste the difference for yourself? Join us at Oliver’s Chop House during Bourbon & Beyond weekend and explore your very own Pappy Van Winkle flight.
