When it comes to pairing bourbon with seafood, finding balance is key, according to bourbon expert Chris Blatner. Opting for lower ABV wheated bourbons like Old Elk Straight Wheated Bourbon complements the delicate flavors of most seafood dishes. For sweeter seafood like crab or lobster, Blatner suggests 'high rye' bourbons for their bold spice notes. Alternatively, wine-finished bourbons such as Amador Chardonnay Barrel Finish Wheated Bourbon and Penelope Rosé Cask Finish can add a lighter touch. When mixing bourbon cocktails, Blatner recommends matching the ingredients with the flavors of the seafood dish, like a classic French 95 with lemon for dishes such as lobster risotto.
