The Kentucky Derby Museum, Bourbon Barrel Foods, and Old Forester are joining forces to celebrate food, whiskey, and the return of Old Forester 1910 with a six-course, interactive Fire & Bourbon Dinner on Tuesday, November 12th, from 6-9 PM, with special guests including Old Forester President Campbell Brown, Founder and President of Bourbon Barrel Foods Matt Jamie, and The Bourbon Review Co-Founder and Publisher Seth Thompson.

Last year, Old Forester announced the final bottle in their Whiskey Row Series – 1910 Old Fine Whisky, commemorating a distillery fire with a delicious double barreled bourbon. So delicious, in fact, that the distillery sold through a year’s supply in just three months.

Finally, in August of this year, Old Forester brought 1910 back for good, with enough supply (even for new market) to keep bourbon lovers happy for the foreseeable future. This smoky, chocolatey favorite is finished in a heavily charred barrel to add a whole new layer of flavor to Old Forester’s classic mash bill.

The Kentucky Derby Museum is raising a glass full of this special expression with a “Fire & Bourbon” Dinner, a dining experience led by Brown, Jamie, and Thompson. The dinner, which includes passed hors d’oeuvres, small plates and dessert, consists of both dishes crafted with bourbon and dishes paired with Old Forester Cocktails.

The dinner will be emceed by Thompson, who says, “You can never go wrong celebrating the culinary and bourbon arts, but taking the stage with Old Fo’s President Campbell Brown and Bourbon Barrel Foods founder Matt Jamie, that’s a tremendous honor. All at the cathedral of Horse Racing. Doesn’t get much better for a night in Kentucky than this.”

“Fire & Bourbon” will take place at the Kentucky Derby Museum, 704 Central Avenue in Louisville, KY on Tuesday, November 12th beginning at 6 PM. Tickets are $75/person and include a signed copy of Jamie’s new “Eat Your Bourbon” cookbook.
