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.
A fun change of pace today, I get to look at the Bisquit & Dubouché VS cognac from the Campari Group. I tried this cognac a few years ago when it was still part of the Distell stable. I used it in an apple cider cognac cocktail then. It was a nice enough cognac for cocktails, but I found it slightly too spicy.
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.
Experimenting today with some KFC and bourbon pairings. In my house, take away is a treat. We only eat it when I have not had any time to cook, or when the weekend was just so lazy that I could not bother. One of our preferred fast-food is KFC.
Last week I about the Top 5 single malt whiskies under R500 available in South Africa. This blog post came about after a friend asked for some help in choosing whisky as a gift. This week, I continue with my recommendation and wrote a Top 5 blends under R500 available in South Africa post for this week.
A couple of days ago, a friend asked for some advice. She needed to buy whisky as a gift but did not know where to start. Walking into a bottle store can be a daunting experience. The sheer volume of products available makes choosing tough.
Today’s blog post on pairing whisky and pizza was inspired by the USA National Day Calendar. I found the National Day Calendar that lists all the National Days. It has been a great source of fun and inspiration.
