Bear Creek Distillery represents the spirit of Colorado—authentic, small-batch, and deeply rooted in local craftsmanship. This exclusive dinner brings that spirit to life through four thoughtfully composed courses, each paired with a signature whiskey. From the first pour to the final bite, you'll taste the story of a distillery that believes in grain-to-glass excellence and mountain-made integrity.
In partnership with Bear Creek, The Jasmine Bar invites you to experience a whiskey-paired journey through the landscapes, flavors, and people that make Colorado exceptional. Every dish and every dram tells a story of place.
WELCOME COCKTAIL
The Alpine Ember
Bear Creek Rye Whiskey, Genepy Liqueur, IPA Reduction Syrup, Colorado Lavender Bitters, Peat Smoke Spritz
Herbal, floral, and layered with smoke—this opening cocktail captures the alpine edge of Colorado’s high country and sets the tone for an evening of elevated craft.
FIRST TASTE
Olathe Sweet Corn Soup
Finished with smoked chile oil, crème fraîche, and charred corn
Paired with: Bear Creek Straight Bourbon
ABV: 45% | Mash Bill: Corn, Rye, Barley
Tasting Notes: Toasted vanilla, honey, soft oak, cracked black pepper
Why It Works: This bourbon’s warm sweetness highlights the corn’s natural sugars while its spice lifts the smoke and depth from the chile oil. A warm, familiar start with precision and balance.
SECOND TASTE
Haystack Mountain Goat Cheese Tartlet
With Palisade peach compote, arugula, and pine nut crumble
Paired with: Bear Creek Wheated Bourbon
ABV: 45% | Mash Bill: Corn, Wheat, Barley
Tasting Notes: Round and mellow with orchard fruit, grain sweetness, and gentle oak
Why It Works: The creamy tart and bright peach pair effortlessly with the soft wheat profile of the bourbon. This expression is gifted to each guest as a bottle to take home, extending the experience beyond the night.
THIRD TASTE
Colorado Bison Burger Slider
Topped with rosemary aioli, smoked tomato jam, pickled red onion, and an heirloom grit crisp
Paired with: Bear Creek 100% Wheat Whiskey
ABV: 45% | Mash Bill: 100% Colorado-Grown Wheat
Tasting Notes: Chamomile, toasted biscuit, honeycomb
Why It Works: Rich bison and earthy rosemary are softened by the floral, silken quality of this rare wheat whiskey. Made entirely from Colorado-grown grain, it’s a true expression of local terroir.
FINAL TASTE
Milk & Cookies
Fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie, cookie dough, milk jam, mascarpone
Paired with: Bear Creek Rye Whiskey
ABV: 45% | Mash Bill: Rye, Corn, Barley
Tasting Notes: Bold baking spice, dark chocolate, citrus peel, dry oak
Why It Works: A nostalgic finish with elevated charm. The rye’s assertiveness cuts through the sweetness while enhancing the toasted depth and warmth of the final course.
