Scotch Tasting

charno4 — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:10:05 +0000

This past fall our bartender and resident whiskey writer Craig Bridger undertook a pilgrimage- long overdue -to Scotland, birthplace of malt whiskey. He rented a car, crisscrossed that verdant countryside, saw a lot of sheep (really, a lot of sheep). Craig shook hands with the custodians of some the world’s most respected drams, and tasted outstanding whiskey. For six days he devoted himself to the appreciation (and dedicated consumption) of single malt Scotch and now you have the opportunity for Craig to guide you through your own tasting journey where you will get a first hand taste and account of the finest whiskey Scotland has to offer.

Join Craig Tuesday January 24th at 8pm when he will revisit some of the highlights of his trip, and taste 5 representative drams from Speyside, The Northern Highlands, and Islay. The whiskeys tasted will be as follows:

Glenfarclas 17 Year
Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or
Bowmore 12 Year
Macallan 10-Year Fine Oak
Ardbeg Alligator

$65 Per Person. Includes a few snacks from our kitchen to help fortify you during the tasting.

Reservations will be accepted immediately and with only 20 seats available a quick response is suggested if you want to guarantee yourself a spot – 718.643.2106.

Drink Turkey, Win Turkey

charno4 — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:07:19 +0000

One of the overlooked aspects of Thanksgiving is a delicious high proof whiskey at the end of the meal as a digestif. A 100 plus proof whiskey after 3 helpings will make you feel like you are ready for 4ths. This Thanksgiving fight turkey with Turkey. Wild Turkey Rare Breed is a favorite of ours, a barrel strength uncut earthy, leathery 108 proof delight full of dark fruit and spice.

Join us November 3rd through November 18th, 2011 for a 1 oz taste or 2 oz glass of Wild Turkey Rare Breed and each one you order will earn you a chance to win a Char No. 4 Fourteen pound house smoked turkey that easily feeds 6-8 people.

Additionally, your order of a Wild Turkey Rare Breed at Char No. 4 will get you a card for a 20% discount towards the purchase of a bottle of the same from our good friends at Smith and Vine.

So be a hero this holiday. Win a house smoked turkey for drinking a delicious whiskey and share an amazing barrel strength bourbon with your guests or bring a bottle to your host for some nice sipping at the end of the meal.

Summer Wednesdays – Po’Boy Night

charno4 — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 04:58:21 +0000

We’re giving Po’Boys their due for our Summer Wednesdays. Ever since I first visited my wife’s hometown of New Orleans and I was introduced to the Po’Boy at Domilise’s I have been Po’Boy obsessed. While it would be blasphemy to suggest that we could rival the magic of Domilise’s, we certainly feel we can offer a Po’Boy that would do New Orleans proud.

Join us every Wednesday in July for your choice of a fried oyster or fried shrimp po’boy dressed and served with a bag of Zapp’s and an Abita Restoration Pale Ale, all for $19.00.

The special will be available either at the bar or in the dining room during our usual dinner hours of 6pm until midnight and reservations will be accepted for parties of any size.
