Woodford Reserve’s master distiller Chris Morris, is the Tom Brady of bourbon. And last November’s Whiskey Tampa Foxtrot (WTF) dinner, at a dream-like evening that’s been an annual highlight from the Bern’s family of restaurants, he appears larger than life—like the Wizard of Oz. Morris was to appear from behind the curtain, in the flesh, to lead a unique event: tasting five of his limited edition Master’s Collection whiskies paired with a cavalcade of gourmet dishes. Unfortunately, Hurricane Nicole had other ideas, making Morris’s flight with his WR team from Kentucky horse country impossible. But never fear. Bern’s mastermind behind it all and generous Director of Spirits, Nate Wilson, was undeterred and Morris led the tasting by Zoom.
