~ Scapa 16 Year - Island
~
Scapa is
produced in the same small island cluster, The Orkneys, where great
scotches like Highland Park are produced. This 16 year expression
of the Scapa replaces the 14 year version and offers additional
complexity. The Scapa 16 year is a perfect marriage between the
influences of the sea, as is found in other island Scotches and the
sweet honey and heather notes.
7 P.M. START
WITH:
Lobster Scotch-Bisque with
Crab Claw
with Vermonte and Chile
Oil
~ Dalmore 12 Year -
Highlands ~
The exceptional richness of
The Dalmore spirit benefits from slightly longer maturation than is
typically practiced in Scotland. This Scotch is aged in second fill
bourbon barrels and then sherry casks from Spain in equal
proportions.
Couscous
Salad
Over Mixed Greens with a Herb
Vinaigrette
~ Balvenie 15
Year Single Barrel - Highlands~
This 15 Year Single Barrel is
drawn from a single traditional oak whisky cask of a single
distillation. While each barrel produces a unique whisky that will
vary, the master distiller was seeking the foremost characteristics
of honey, vanilla and oaky notes. Each bottle is indeed unique and
unrepeatable making this a truly one of a kind
experience.
Filet Mignon Stuffed with
Bleu Cheese & Fried Oysters
dressed with Bordelaise and
Hollandaise with a Pork Belly Potato Hash
~ Laphroaig Quarter Cask -
Island ~
We chose to pair this expression of an Islay Scotch
with the flavors from the oysters in this dish. While the Laphroaig
Quarter Cask is technically from the same region as the Scapa you
will notice a significant difference, which characterizes
Laphroaig's Scotch.
Chocolate Hazelnut Torte
with Butterscotch Ice Cream
~ Auchentoshan Three Wood -
Lowlands~
A.J. Crotty, the Bar Manager at Charlie's Irish
Pub, is quick to point out that Auchentoshan is unique as being
from one of three distilleries in the lowlands to still produce
Scotch Whisky.
