Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Old Forester Bourbon through an expertly curated five-course dining experience. Each course has been thoughtfully designed by our culinary team and paired with a featured Old Forester bourbon, creating a unique journey through the flavors, character, and versatility of one of America’s most iconic bourbon brands.
Leading the evening will be Jessi Lorraine, National Ambassador for Old Forester. Before joining Brown-Forman, Jessi spent a decade developing and managing acclaimed restaurant and bar programs in San Francisco, including Absinthe Brasserie & Bar and El Día. Her experience in the hospitality industry and success in bartending competitions—including winning Speed Rack California in 2019—have shaped her expertise in spirits and cocktail culture.
Since joining Brown-Forman, Jessi has served as a regional ambassador for Slane Irish Whiskey and the Brown-Forman Single Malts before taking on her current role with Old Forester. As National Ambassador, she works to strengthen the connection between Old Forester and the bar and restaurant industry while sharing the brand’s story, identity, and cocktail traditions.
Throughout the evening, Jessi will guide guests through each bourbon pairing, sharing her knowledge of Old Forester, its history and craftsmanship, and the unique qualities that make each pour special.
Whether you're a longtime bourbon enthusiast or simply looking for an elevated night of exceptional food and whiskey, this exclusive experience offers an evening of thoughtfully crafted cuisine, expertly selected bourbon pairings, and an engaging presentation from one of Old Forester's own ambassadors.
