CraveDFW was invited to Savor Gastropub on a late afternoon this week as Chef Matt Hank and team were testing out the menu for their upcoming whiskey dinner to be held on Tuesday February 28th. Savor typically favors wine dinners, so when a former employee and now brand ambassador for Angel’s Envy suggested the event, the Chef wasn’t sold.
“At first I was skeptical. However once I tasted the product it was obvious that we could come up with something special”, Matt said. “Their premium hand-crafted bourbon is aged in ruby port barrels, and their rye is aged in Caribbean rum barrels. We’ll start off the event with an Angel’s Envy Bourbon, neat, with a prosciutto wrapped melon. Each of the five courses will then be paired with a specialty cocktail featuring either the bourbon or the rye”.
