Bourbon & Cigar Night on the Patio
Savor the Spirit: Bourbon & Cigar Night on the Patio at Fire and Ice – Bourbon and Food Pairing Dinner in Pennsylvania
Bourbon lovers, mark your calendars! Fire and Ice On Toby Creek is hosting an unforgettable Bourbon & Cigar Night on the Patio on Thursday, September 4th at 6 PM. This exclusive five-course dinner pairs rich, flavorful dishes with premium bourbons while creating a tasting experience that celebrates the art of American whiskey.
The Allure of Bourbon
Bourbon is often referred to as “America’s Native Spirit”. It is known for its deep amber color, smooth body, and complex flavor profile. By law, bourbon must be made from at least 51% corn, be aged in new charred oak barrels, and distilled in the United States. Its flavor spectrum ranges from sweet caramel and vanilla notes to bold spices. It also boasts oak and smoky undertones, therefore making it the perfect partner for both gourmet food and fine cigars.
Course-by-Course Pairing Experience
Course One: Charcuterie & Wild Turkey
Flatbread crackers, smoked almonds, aged cheddar, prosciutto, and soppressata meet Wild Turkey’s bold spice and hints of toffee and orange peel. The bourbon’s smokiness mirrors the almonds while its heat cuts through the richness of the meats and cheese.
Course Two: Chicken & Waffles with Bulleit Bourbon
Crispy double-dredged chicken with bourbon maple syrup pairs perfectly with Bulleit’s high rye spice, balancing sweet and savory while highlighting warm vanilla and dried fruit undertones.
Course Three: Wagyu Skirt Steak & Maker’s Mark
Juicy Wagyu steak marinated in bourbon and ancho chili meets Maker’s Mark’s smooth caramel and cinnamon notes. Additionally, the bourbon’s mellow sweetness tempers the heat of the marinade while enhancing the freshness of pico and cilantro microgreens.
Course Four: Kansas City-Style Ribs & Elijah Craig
Smoked ribs with sweet & tangy BBQ sauce pair with Elijah Craig’s rich oak, honey, and nutmeg flavors. The bourbon’s toasty wood character amplifies the smoky ribs, therefore, its sweetness harmonizes with the tomato-based sauce.
Course Five: French Vanilla Crème Brûlée & Knob Creek 9 Year
A classic dessert meets a nine-year-aged bourbon bursting with caramel, toasted nuts, and warm spice. The robust bourbon contrasts the creamy custard and leaves a lingering, luxurious finish.
The Cigar Experience
Guests may bring their own cigars. Or you may choose from premium selections like Arturo Fuente Chateau and Macanudo Inspirado, available for purchase. Bourbon and cigars share a natural pairing chemistry—caramel and oak meet earthy, smoky richness for the perfect after-dinner indulgence.
