A spirited toast to all things alcoholic! by\u00a0Leslie Dinaberg<\/a>\u00a0 |<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Bacara<\/a>\u00a0Resort’s Meet the Masters dining series<\/a>\u00a0continues on Thursday, April 17, with an evening with whiskey\u00a0master Johnnie Mundell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Known for his charming Scottish accent (the Mundell family has been involved in transporting the whiskey made on the Isle of Islay since 1971)\u00a0and inimitable style in creating events that bring strangers together to appreciate fine single malts such as Auchentoshan<\/a>, Bowmore<\/a>\u00a0and Glen Garioch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Join him for an intimate dinner in the \u00a0Miro Wine Cellar.\u00a0Evening events include a whiskey and hors d\u2019oeuvres reception from 6\u20136:30 p.m., followed by an exquisite four-course tasting menu by Miro Chef Johan Denizot, elegantly presented by Bacara\u2019s Creative Director Lorrene Balzani in the Miro Wine Cellar. Each course will be expertly paired with renowned whiskey and wine selections by Mundell.<\/p>\n
