Rough Rider Whisky Dinner!
Come and join all of us at Blood & Sand to welcome Rough Rider Whisky's owner and master distiller, Richard Stabile.
Rough Rider Whisky is part of Long Island Spirits (Long Island, NY), the first craft distiller on the island since the 1800s. A uniquely farm-to-bottle, hand craft distilled operations, we are excited and honored to have Richard speak, taste, and enjoy a beautiful meal with us.
We will be featuring 5 courses of whisky and food.
Each whisky is inspired by Teddy Roosevelt, who was a native Long Islander. Every spirit in their portfolio is inspired by what Teddy, and his First Volunteer Cavalry "The Rough Riders", believed in; adventure, independence, and excellence.
Chef Brian Coltrain has once again knocked it out of the park, taking inspiration from the Bull Moose Himself, with perfect courses to accompany every whisky and cocktail provided!
