We are kicking off the show here in the
Charlie Wilson KitchenAid Kitchen ahead of
National Bourbon Day, which is tomorrow.
Joining us today is Porch Kitchen and Bar
with a look at how they are celebrating
the big day with a couple of their new
and of course their signature cocktails.
I'm with Kristen Truitt,
the beverage director there.
Right. National Bourbon Day,
What great reason to get downtown celebrate,
right, wonderful.
And you all have like you put together,
you know, you always have some
of your classic stuff because you
guys are on the urban bourbon.
Absolutely.
But you put together some special things
that people can come down and check out.
You did.
So tomorrow we're featuring
4 Roses Distillery.
Every month we partner with a different
distillery for whiskey Wednesday.
So tomorrow we featuring 4 Roses
for Flight specials and then we also
have our signature Oldfashioned,
which you can't go wrong with that,
Go wrong with that.
And you're mixing up something
different because I feel like
everybody these days is drinking
the Expresso Martini.
It is. You're doing very
different like you all do.
We are. So we have a one of the kind
that picture that's beautiful,
Oh my goodness, gorgeous. Yes, it's
very delicious.
One of the kind only bourbon
espresso martini downtown area.
We actually use our own
barrel pick, old Forester.
We hand selected this for porch only.
So it's very unique.
And I love like in that picture
it has like all the foamy, yes,
like the little topping on it,
but it has the bourbon in it.
So it is super special and different.
I love that Whiskey Wednesday for you guys
is falling on on bourbon day as well.
So that makes it kind of easy that you
already have like a menu offering.
But if people don't want the
bourbons and stuff like that.
You did mention kind of,
I love this summer cocktail.
Look at this one here.
It's a beautiful summer
cocktail. It's made with a reposado tequila,
has house made hibiscus and watermelons.
So, really. Light, refreshing,
airy, perfect for summertime.
Love that with the signature
old fashioned that you have,
this is always on the menu.
What would you recommend or any
suggestions you would give to
folks for that can stop down?
Like what you would eat with it?
What's on your menu that would
be super yummy to pair with it.
So actually we're known for our
bourbon butter cake so it would
pair really nice with that as like
an after dinner dessert drink.
With the bourbon butter
cake, Definitely. All right.
So when does all the fun begin? Tomorrow.
Tomorrow. So we're actually open
for lunch starting at 11:00 AM.
So you can get any of this for lunch time.
But Whiskey Wednesday
officially starts at 5:00 PM.
It's from 5:00 to 7:00 tomorrow
night at Porch Kitchen and Bar.
Love that. Anything else special
plan for National Bourbon Day?
Any entertainment or things like
that that you all might have there?
So 4 Roses Distillery will be in house.
Kind of going around talking to the
guests if they have any questions,
talking about notes.
That kind of thing.
So it's going to be really
good experience for everybody.
And then if you're part of
the Urban Bourbon Trail,
you can come get your passport
stamped if you have a bourbon. So
I feel like that'd be something so
fun to do on National Bourbon Day.
It is perfect jump on the Urban Bourbon
Trail and in reminding everybody now,
which I think is great,
that you guys are right on it,
We all must love that
you must get visitors in.
Like like locals and
tourists alike coming in.
It's it's great. We have 100
plus bourbons to choose from.
From our selection.
Our bar is just beautiful stocked
perfectly with all the best
bourbons so you can't go wrong.
You mentioned the Rep from 4
Roses when they walk around.
That just must be a really cool experience.
Can you just like ask them any
question or is it typically
about the flights or yeah,
any questions because the flights are
just as special.
We'll do specials on old fashions
and Manhattans as well as well
as the just standard poor.
So they're going to be really
knowledgeable on the four Rosa side.
And then we'll also feature our small
batch select from them as well. All
right, Let everybody know your
location once again and when all
the fun kicks off tomorrow. So
we're located at 280 W Jefferson St.
on the corner of 3rd and Jefferson Whiskey.
Wednesday starts at 5:00 PM and ends
at 7:00 PM And come by for lunch. Yes,
