Whiskey and the American Frontier
Whiskey is one of America’s first creations and has remained an American staple for hundreds of years! Beloved by early settlers, pioneers, and explorers, whiskey was a crucial element of the burgeoning American economy and helped support the country at its very beginning. As long ago as the Revolutionary War, whiskey was America’s drink of choice and a source of pride for Americans, as it is today.

A Night and a Flight in Honor of Al Young, with Brent Elliott
At this exclusive Night and a Flight, we will be honoring the late Al Young, a celebrated whiskey expert who served as Senior Brand Ambassador for Four Roses and worked in the bourbon industry for over 50 years.

To celebrate his legacy, we will be opening and serving our bottle of Four Roses Al Young 50th Anniversary Small Batch Limited Edition, which was actually signed by Mr. Young. Brent Elliott, Master Distiller for Four Roses, will be joining us for this dinner and our Executive Chef James will be serving a gourmet, multi-course meal by the bite. In addition to Four Roses Al Young 50th Anniversary, we will be serving a selection of unique bourbons to pair with each course. We hope you’ll join us at this unforgettable dinner as we celebrate and honor the great Al Young and kick off an incredible weekend of whiskey. Click here to watch a recap video!
