A collection of lifestyle suggestions ranging from recipes, how to start a whisky club to best peated whisky to buy. A mix of articles that include rum and cognac, and fun whisky food and chocolate pairings.
During the year, I am fortunate to taste many new whiskies. Some are not bad, and some I never want to taste again. Just search for “Ordinary” on this blog, and you will find quite a few examples of these. However, now and again, I taste something that blows my mind.
The second in my series on my Top whisky gift guide and I titled it ‘ Great Whisky gifts under R1000 to make you smile’. I am moving to a more accessible group, looking at whisky between R500 and R1000. In this category, you are spoilt for choice.
This past Saturday was World Whisky day. A day to celebrate all things whisky-related. A day to share a dram with the people around you. We celebrated the day at home. I decided that it a perfect day to celebrate with whisky from around the world.
In December I started with a series on boozy desserts with my tiramisu with whisky recipe. This recipe proved to be very popular. Also, towards the end of 2017, Backsberg Winery invited a few food and wine bloggers to join in a #MyBacksbergRecipe campaign. The goal was to create the ultimate recipe to pair with the Pinotage Rosé.
It is time for a boozy dessert; inspired by a morning out with blogging friends. The result of this meeting is a delicious tiramisu with whiskey recipe. A couple of Saturdays ago, I met up with some friends who are all bloggers. They blog about all kinds of topics; from parenting and food to beauty and lifestyle.

I have been trying to pair whisky and olives for ages. I found this small little olive shop online. Tapenade has a big selection of the best olive products from the numerous South African olive estates.
