Aging Gracefully with The Alden

Aging Gracefully with The Alden

Saturday, November 7 at DoMA (2197 Irvindale Dr 30341) 

Aging Gracefully is a collaborative dining experience from Distillery of Modern Art and Jared Hucks, executive chef of The Alden, celebrating the transformative power of time. The evening will showcase DoMA’s Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon through guided neat pours and thoughtfully selected classic cocktails, highlighting how years in the barrel create depth, character, and complexity.

This exclusive, one-night-only dinner has 4 seatings (6:00, 6:30 is SOLD OUT, 7:00, or 7:30 PM) and 4 drink options (1 NA beverage, 2 NA beverages, 1 craft cocktail or 2 craft cocktails). Choose your drink preference below and then select your desired time on the ticket page:

Chef Hucks will complement the drinks with a curated menu built around ingredients that improve with age — from artisan cheeses and slow cooked meats to fermented, preserved, and patiently developed flavors. Each pairing will explore the relationship between time and taste, creating an elevated meal that proves some things truly do get better with age.
