Exploring the Enchantment of Bourbon at The Dean

At The Dean, we believe bourbon isn’t just a drink; it’s an experience—a journey through time, flavor, and craftsmanship. Nestled in the heart of our enchanting restaurant and lounge, our bourbon collection reflects our commitment to offering guests nothing short of extraordinary.

A Symphony of Flavors

Bourbon, often called “America’s native spirit,” boasts rich, complex flavors that transport you to another place and time. Our team has carefully selected each bottle for its unique character, story, and craftsmanship. From the bold, spicy notes of high-rye bourbon to the smooth, sweet hints of caramel and vanilla in wheated varieties, our collection offers a symphony of flavors that appeal to both seasoned bourbon connoisseurs and curious newcomers.

The Art of Selection

Our experts have curated a selection of bourbons that represent the best the world has to offer. We’ve traveled from the historic distilleries of Kentucky to the innovative craft distillers who push the boundaries of tradition, bringing you a range as diverse as it is exceptional.

Each bourbon in our collection was chosen for its quality, story, and ability to deliver an unforgettable drinking experience. Whether you prefer the classic warmth of a well-aged bourbon or the adventurous flavors of a small-batch, single-barrel release, something in our collection will captivate your palate.

Crafted to Perfection

At The Dean, we don’t just pour bourbon—we elevate it. Our skilled mixologists are true artists, taking the time to understand each bourbon’s unique profile before crafting drinks that bring out its best qualities. From our signature bourbon cocktails to expertly recommended neat pours, every sip is designed to enchant and delight.

Imagine the perfect Old Fashioned, where bitters and sugar enhance the bourbon’s natural sweetness, or a Manhattan, where vermouth and bourbon interplay to create a drink that’s both sophisticated and satisfying. Each cocktail testifies to our dedication to transforming simple ingredients into something magical, just as Circe herself might have done.
