The Barrels of Fun at the Polite Pig event (Media Preview) was just that – Barrels of FUN! What goes better together than impeccable bourbon and incredible barbeque?! The Polite Pig in Disney Springs is the place to be for barbeque and bourbon lovers. I was so elated to attend this special event as they released their private barrels of Elijah Craig, Small Batch, Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey and Whistle Pig 10 Year Straight Rye Whiskey, along with the latest Cask and Larder brews.
First Course – Fall Harvest Taco & Apple Cider Whiskey Sour
My eyes were sparkling when I saw they had their Wonderfall items as the first course. I am obsessed with this pairing of the Fall Harvest Taco and Apple Cider Whiskey Sour. The autumnal flavors are off the charts. Remember these Wonderfall items will only be around until November 6th, so make your plans now to gobble them up before they are gone.
Second Course – Cedar Plank Salmon & Elijah Craig Private Barrel, Prime Brisket & Whistle Pig 10 Year Rye Private Barrel accompanied with Smoked Root Vegetables, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, and BBQ Cauliflower
The Cedar Plank Salmon was the exact match for the Elijah Craig Private Barrel. The sweet and toasty finish of the Elijah Craig really enhanced the Maple-Dijon glaze on the salmon, which was outstanding.
The Prime Brisket paired with the Whistle Pig 10 Year Rye Private Barrel was excellent. Full disclosure, I am still dreaming of that brisket. It just melted. The smokey char on the brisket matched beautifully with the char and oak notes of the Whistle Pig.
The three sides of Smoked Root Vegetables, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, and BBQ Cauliflower were absolute perfection. I left no crumb behind, so delicious! This place is where my kids will willingly eat their veggies LOL!
Third Course – Gideon’s Chocolate Chip Cookie & Cask and Larder Working Man Porter
Last but certainly not least, the evening ended with a Gideon’s Chocolate Chip Cookie and a glass of the Cask and Larder Working Man Porter. Let me tell you, that was a slam-bang finish! The richness of the cookie and the creamy, toasty flavor of the Porter together were out of this world.
