The Not For Novices flight contains a selection of four carefully selected whiskeys for $58.
Boston, MA (PRWEB) September 24, 2015
The Boxer Boston, a member of the Independent Collection, a growing collection of intimate lifestyle hotels, is now offering a unique and savory combination of bourbon flights and burgers at its signature modern American restaurant Finch. Created to offer diners a well-rounded sampling of fine bourbon, the flavors were designed to play off notes from the barrels and casting of the locally distilled bourbon for a meal that is unmatched in Boston.
Finch now serves two different sets of flights, with each pour containing 1.25 ounces of carefully selected whiskey with the option for guests to add the Bourbon Burger for an additional 10 dollars.
Crafty 101 ($48) includes:
- Uprising: The American single whiskey distilled from a stout beer uses classic American ale yeast and traditional stout malts.
- Koval: This style of white whiskey contains peppery and floral notes, and has historical roots — George Washington made it in his Virginia distillery back in 1797.
- Redemption Rye: 95% rye-aged in charred new oak barrels, this whiskey brings back the feisty spirit at a bold 92-proof.
- WhistlePig: Sourced from WhistlePig farm in Storeham, VT, this whiskey contains a variety of notes including almond, vanilla, bitter dark chocolate, fresh mint leaves and honey oats.
Not for Novices ($58) includes:
- Hudson Corn: An unmatched indulgence, this whiskey is compellingly silky, smooth and creamy yet clean, perfect simply chilled or for recreating the classic Manhattan.
- Journeymen: A mix of rye and wheat, Journeymen is matured in new, white oak-charred, 15-gallon barrels for the best balance of flavor.
- Woodford Reserve: Appearing in clean, honey amber, this whiskey is rich with complex citrus, cinnamon and cocoa flavors for a silky smooth finish.
- Hillrock: Dubbed as the world’s first “solera”-aged bourbon, a system where small portions of whiskey are periodically removed and new whiskey is added, the result is this caramel, fruity whiskey with an elegant floral note.
The Bourbon Burger, which can be added to either flight or ordered as an entrée on the regular menu, is smothered in a house-made caramelized onion and bourbon sauce, made from a local South Boston whiskey, and topped with lettuce, tomato, blue cheese and shoestring French fried onions on a lightly toasted brioche bun. A side of The Boxer’s very own “Finch chips,” a trinity of baked, purple and sweet potatoes, accompanies this messy and ultra-comforting burger.
