WHO
Ocean Prime, a nationally-acclaimed modern American restaurant and lounge from the award-winning Cameron Mitchell Restaurants.
WHAT
Earlier this year, associates at 15 Ocean Prime locations participated in bourbon blending workshops with a representative from Woodford Reserve, creating one-of-a-kind selections to be served in-house. Woodford Reserve sent each participating Ocean Prime restaurant three single barrel samples of Woodford Reserve, which were then blended at the associates’ discretion into three two-barrel batch blends (the smallest small-batch of bourbon possible). From those blends, they then selected their favorite batch blend of Woodford Reserve, which is now only available at that particular Ocean Prime.
Woodford Reserve filled 15 barrels with their custom creations and aged them over several months. All of the barrels will share the same complex, well-rounded flavor associated with Woodford Reserve but each will be slightly distinct.
“We offer a unique experience at every Ocean Prime and our beverage program is no exception,” says Andrea Hoover, Beverage Director. “Each blend represents an expression of the local taste and is not available anywhere else.”
Ocean Prime is the first restaurant to participate in an offsite bourbon blending program with Woodford Reserve, and the associates are excited to showcase their custom creations to guests. Pours can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a signature OP Manhattan. Creating the perfect chill and melted water ratio in the OP Manhattan is a large format ice cube branded with the Ocean Prime logo.
Prices will vary by location.
