Which foods pair best with whisky?

Posted on January 20 2025 at 08:29

I’ve been a bit of a sceptic in the past about pairing food with whisky. Not that there aren’t some great combinations but I find it hard to sustain for more than one dish.

Viognier (pronounced vee-on-yee-ay) is a rich, exotically fruity white wine, sometimes achieving quite high levels of alcohol so what are the ideal foods to pair with it?

Starting backwards the most sublime custard tart @restosune last night. Also don’t fail to order the charred flatbread, fried pigs head and oysters with kumquat mignonette and dip into the brilliant winelist including this Bacchus/Ortega blend from Natalia Harris in Sussex. New one on me but excellent. Thanks @abbiemoulton for showing me your local. . . . #winebar #naturalwine #hackney #custardtart #flatbread #oyster #bacchusHard to see where the beetroot stops and the bowl begins with this delicious beetroot borani I rustled up from a bunch a neighbour kindly donated from her garden. The recipe comes from Sam and Sam Clark’s book Morito but you can find it online on the @thehappyfoodie website. Topped with crumbled feta, walnuts and dill it’s guaranteed to win round beetroot haters. @sams_moro @moritotapas . . . #beetroot #beets #dip #feta #morito #samclark . .Is there anything better than finding a bread table at a restaurant where you’re allowed to go and choose your bread and butter? Genius idea @josh_eggleton @theponychewvalley. The garden was absolutely gorgeous too. . . . #bread #sourdough #theponychewvalley #chewvalley #somerset #josheggletonIt’s not always the show-off dishes that make a great restaurant but getting the small things right so well done @asador44 for the bread - well actually the best ever sourdough toast both at dinner and at breakfast), the perfectly cooked side of broccoli and the stellar apricot ice cream and sangria sorbet. Also the comfiest bed and the loveliest staff. And no, it wasn’t a freebie. 💯worth your money if you fancy a night away. . . . #sourdough #toast #broccoli #icecream #sorbet #goodfood #hospitality #asador44 #parador44 #cardiff Follow on Instagram
