The arrival of crisp, fall weather calls for a celebration of seasonal cuisine and spirits from Virginia! For the first time ever, and for one night only, beloved homegrown establishments BRABOand Catoctin Creek will present a special evening of autumnal flavor pairings in Old Town Alexandria.

On Monday, November 13, Catoctin Creek founders, Becky and Scott Harris, will be taking over BRABO’s brasserie to offer an exclusive tasting of the distillery’s popular products including the Roundstone Rye whiskey, the Pearousia Pear Brandy, the Quarter Branch Apple Brandy, the 1757 Virginia Grape Brandy, and the “Distiller’s Reserve” 92 Proof Roundstone Rye whiskey. Becky and Scott will share the stories behind the creation of each product while pouring a healthy taste for guests to enjoy.

As whiskey and brandy enthusiasts decide whether they prefer their beverage neat or on the rocks, BRABO’s Executive Chef Sebastien Rondier will serve a menu of Belgian-French hors d’oeuvres thoughtfully created to pair with the featured spirits, proving how food-friendly whiskies and brandies are. The evening’s menu will be presented side by side with each spirit and includes the following highlights:

 

  • Belgian tart with roasted pear, bacon, and French blue cheese
  • Venison lollipop with dried apricots, toasted walnuts, vanilla, and orange zest
  • Foie gras torchon crostini with brandied cherries, duck fat popcorn, and black pepper
  • Boar slider topped with charred scallion & jalapeño jam, and sweet & spicy grape condiment
  • Apple terrine with cocoa-smoked pork belly and puff pastry

 

The fall evening will be filled with lively conversation, plenty of whiskey and brandy, and surprising flavor pairings reflecting the best of the season!
