The evening will begin with a welcome cocktail created by Justin Bond using Westward “The Bay” cask strength. The first course of halibut with fennel purée, uni and caviar topped with garlic beurre blanc will be paired with Westward “Chardonnay Cask” followed by beef short ribs with garlic soy glaze and jumbo shrimp and Westward “Pinot Noir Cask.” Next will be a Tajima N.Y. strip steak with julienne rustic potato fries, grilled asparagus and béarnaise sauce with a Westward “Two Malts” and then a dessert course that will be paired with Westward “Into The Abyss Stout Cask.”

Westward, based in Portland, Oregon, began in 2004 with the vision of making a distinctive American whiskey inspired by the American Northwest and have subsequently become notable for unique production techniques resulting in the highest rated American Single Malt whiskey.
