A Spirited Cheese Pairing Part 2

Bulleit is one of my favorite brown spirits on the market today because I find the story behind the brand, as well as the flavor itself, incredibly unique. I had the pleasure of speaking with Tom Bulleit, the namesake behind the brand, and after hearing about its interesting and rich family history, drinking the spirit became that much more enjoyable.

The bourbon definitely has a strong fire on the nose. Notes of chocolate, charred barrels. Very smooth going down, with a hint of plump red grapes on the finish.

Cheese: Rivers Edge Chevre

The smoky flavor of this rich and creamy chevre married really well with the charred flavor of the Bulleit. Notes of salt, dried fruits and dark chocolate were very much enhanced, with the slight sweetness of the cheese being a great partner to the fiery Bulleit.
