Which foods pair best with whisky?

Posted on November 30 2018 at 08:16

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?

Couldn’t work out where I was when I woke up this morning (at 5am - bloody jetlag!) then remembered it wasn’t here. Good to be back in my own bed but missing the vineyards, the views and the sun. Thank you @winesofsouthafricauk for a truly inspiring trip. And grateful thanks to all the producers who gave up time to see us during harvest. . . . #winefarm #wine #winegrower #stellenbosch #capewinelands #presstripLast lunch in South Africa - and a really brilliant one @pierneefalamotte including one of the most creative cheese plates I’ve come across with goat cheesecake and beet ‘glass’ - a gigantic beetroot crisp. Oxheart tomato, tomato sorbet and watermelon salad (with little deep-fried cheesy balls) also sublime. #guest. . . . #tomato #watermelon #salad #cheesecake #beetroot #cheeseplate #pierneefalamotte #franschhoek #sawine #latergramAmazing day exploring some of South Africa’s oldest vineyards with @andremorgenthal of @oldvineproject. This is an old Chenin vineyard in Wellington Johan Kruger is using to make wine for @nakedwines and which has saved the vineyard from being grubbed up. . . . #vines #oldvines #vineyard #cheninblancA rare veggie moment @spekenbone - spiced corn on the corn with macadamia nuts and a very good bar snack of roast peppers and homemade butter. Totally love the meat here, especially the lamb, but must admit it came as a bit of a relief! . . . #corn #cornonthecob #peppers #vegetarian #plantbased #stellenbosch Follow on Instagram
